6 Kalana Garner

Grade: 12
Position: MB
Height: 5’8”

I am an honors student with journalism under my belt. I have been a part of the North Cobb volleyball program for five years. Playing three years on varsity has exposed me to bigger and better competition while enjoying and playing the game I love. One of my favorite memories as a varsity player was making it to the sweet sixteen my junior year. When high school season comes to an end, you can still catch me on the court, playing on the 575 18-1s volleyball team!
I enjoy eating a Jimmy Johns sandwich as a quick pick me up during long tournaments, I also enjoy a Chick-fil-A sandwich and I LOVEE ice cream!!!! Giving off positive energy is what is always important to me, “A beautiful day begins with a beautiful mindset” is a quote I always like to keep in mind while starting off each and every day.
One of my many hobbies is taking pictures, so don’t forget to follow me on Instagram @kkalanaaa💗
