Student Success Stories Part 2
Kimani Hunt, 19, a Dean’s list student at Davison County
Community College, is a standout 6’5” player on the DCCC Storm Basketball team
who serves as a role model for other students both on and off the court. With a
3.7 GPA for all fall of 2010 semester and a cumulative basketball point average
of 765 as of Feb. 18th, Hunt’s academic excellence and athletic
abilities attract attention. Recently, he caught the attention of recruiters
from the University of Northwestern Ohio who offered him a full scholarship
there to play basketball. Named the 1st team All Freshman in
2009-2010, hunt served on the 2009-2010 Region X and District H Championship
teams, and he played with the storm in last year’s 2010 NJCAA National Championship
tournament. “Kimiani Hunt has been a leader for us the last few years both on
and off the court,” said DCCC Storm Head Coach Matt Ridge. “ His high standard
of excellence has helped us win many games, but it’s also helped him achieve a
lot of success in the classroom, and we are certainly proud of him.” Ken Kirk,
DCCC’s director of athletics and wellness, agrees. “Kimiani is a kind and
considerate student athlete. He helps tutor other players who look up to him as
an academic leader, he communicates well with other students as well as the
Storm fans, and he represents DCCC so well wherever he goes.” Hunt graduated
from Riverside High School in Durham before enrolling at DCCC. He hopes to
pursue a career in sports management.
