The NCAA women’s division is no short of bright prospects eager to make an impact on the collegiate level. These high school athletes are turning quite a few heads courtesy of their exemplary skills. One such baller who has recently made a lot of noise is the senior forward Kieonna Christmas.

In more or less a recap of Wilt Chamberlain’s legendary display against the Lakers in 1968, Kieonna Christmas gives a performance of a lifetime which has her name etched in the history books.

An enticing game between Fonda-Fultonville vs Notre Dame Bishop Gibbons wasn’t expected to get this much attention. However, the Braves’ 55-50 victory was completely overshadowed by a historic performance by their No.12 Kieonna Christmas. The 6 ft forward delivered a quintuple-double by registering a double-digit score in all 5 parameters. Apparently, her night ended with 11 points along with 20 rebounds and 11 assists. In addition to this, there were also 10 steals as well as 10 blocks next to her name.

With this accomplishment, she becomes the 13th High School player to secure a quintuple-double. Interestingly, basketball is not the only sport in which she is skillful. It appears that she is also an active member of Fonda-Fultonville’s volleyball team. She also occupies an impressive state rank of 162 in volleyball.
