Kate Hollifield set to break 1,000 points (Shelby Star, 2/21/2020)

To anyone familiar with the Hollifield family, Kate’s success on the court shouldn’t come as much of a shock. She, alongside her sister, Ally, practically grew up in gymnasiums, and she has always had a love of basketball.

“I started playing AAU in the third grade, and I was always one of the youngest on the team. And I played against boys a lot,” she said. “But basketball is really like the easiest sport to practice for me. There’s always a goal and a ball somewhere. And with Aubrey (Hollifield, Kate’s uncle) coaching and my dad helping him, I’m pretty much always in a gym. Seeing other people here playing and being good, I’ve always wanted to be just like them.”
