Expert Analysis
Akiem Bailum | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
The eighth-grade phenom for 5A Division 1 Boiling Springs continues to make magic happen for the Bulldogs. She has spearheaded an improved Boiling Springs effort all season and continued that with a 26-point performance to lead the Bulldogs to a 56-38 result against 3A Chapman. Kinard as a defender can make things difficult for opposing ball carriers and that can lead to said ball carriers coughing up the rock, creating additional offensive possessions for Kinard’s team. She thrives as a transition playmaker but does so overall even in halfcourt sets. The attention she attracts from defenses can also open things up for teammates to make plays.
