Kianna, aka Kiki, is playing up on the Broncos 17s team and proving she can hang with older competition. She scores at will against true 17s, can put an overpass straight down with a quick snap, and her athleticism shows whether she is swinging in the middle or on the pins. Kiki brings a big block, aggressive energy, and a fearless style of play. 

Kianna stands out for her physicality and dominance at the net. A strong and bouncy attacker, she gets on top of the ball with ease and punishes overpasses. She also contributes defensively with solid blocking and shows good movement for her size. Kianna has established herself as one of the top middle prospects in her class and continues to trend upward. —Kantessa Bryant-Miller @prepdignv
