Freshman KP Parr dribbles the ball down the court against Northeastern State. Parr won back-to-back 4A Texas State Championships in high school and is one of two true freshmen on the team.

At La Vega High School in Waco, Texas, KP Parr was a decorated track athlete. She placed on the podium in the triple jump and the 4×200-meter relay at the 2021 Texas State 4A state championship and also holds her high school’s record in the 200 meters. But when it came time to compete at the collegiate level, Parr chose basketball.
