"Shatori Walker-Kimbrough can't stand losing in a video game, let alone a high school sports competition.

"I could be going against someone shooting a paper towel into a trash bag, and I have to win," Walker-Kimbrough said. "I can't stress enough how much I hate losing. I have to win at everything."

This past school year, Walker-Kimbrough came close to reaching her goal. She won just about everything.

Walker-Kimbrough was a dominating player on Hopewell High School's volleyball team that won a WPIAL championship. Then, while leading the Hopewell basketball team to a WPIAL title, Walker-Kimbrough had a postseason performance for the ages. And, on top of that, she came close to winning a WPIAL track and field title in the spring, finishing second in the triple jump."
