Head Coach Tyler Larson stated, “Kara is a lethal shooter. She can hit from outside but can also finish crafty shots around the rim. She has a great ability to get open off the dribble and knock down the three. She draws the opposing team’s best defender every game, including junk defense and double teams, to try to slow her down. Kara still finds ways to get it done.” Kara is currently in the MHSAA record books for three pointers made in a season with 74 as a sophomore (23-24) and 70 as a junior (24-25). She’s made 77 as a senior in 22 games. Kara will also etch herself in the MHSAA record books for threes made in a career. She reached 1,000 career points as a junior. Kara has 11 games this season with 4 or more three pointers made, averaging 18.5 ppg, and leading her team in this category. Kara guided Baraga to a 19-3 record and the number one seed in their district.

Coach Larson shared that, “Kara helped lead the team to multiple dramatic finishes this season. The ball is in her hands at the end of the game when we need a bucket. A clutch player who lives for the big moment. She hit a buzzer-beater three from deep to take down Hancock earlier this season. She helped our team climb the rankings throughout the season as one of the top in Division 4. A true leader and competitor on the floor, Kara has earned a spot on UW-Eau Claire’s team for next season. They are getting a steal with Kara as one of the best ball handlers and purest shooters in Michigan”.

Having seen Kara play multiple times in person, I completely agree with Coach Larson. Kara shot up our rankings and proved herself to be a top ten point guard prospect in Michigan. She was underrecruited and would be considered in the same category as other D2 point guards in this class had she played downriver. Kara received Copper Mountain Conference Elite-Team honors as a sophomore, junior, and senior. She earned All-UP, AP All-State, and BCAM’s best honors as a junior. Coach Larson added, “Being one of the smallest enrollments in the state, Kara provides an elite skill set and big play ability to keep Baraga on the map!”
