Tyler High Coach Amber Wiley: "Kamora has been a part of the varsity girls' basketball program since her freshman year (2019), improving each year tremendously. She was a standout starter, giving her ALL to try to get her team to the playoffs. In her junior year, the Lady Lions made it to the playoffs, the first time in a long time, playing Mount Pleasant and losing by 1 point. Unfortunately, Kamora's senior year ended with an ACL injury. Kamora is determined, competitive, and doesn't give up. She endured a setback this past season, but it did not stop her from grinding daily in rehab to regain top-notch shape. All the hard work she put in outside of high school and during the season (before the injury) resulted in the high honor of a TJC scholarship. I know she will do amazing things in this next chapter of her life. Her incredible work ethic and determination to win will allow her to outperform others. I am very proud of her, and we can't wait to see her on the TJC court!"
