Ky’Albri Washington, Senior at Northeast Jones High School, was selected as a South Central Sports Medicine Scholar Athlete. Ky’Albri plays Softball and Basketball for the Northeast Jones Tigers. After Ky’Albri graduates from Northeast Jones in May, she plans to attend college at Mississippi State University or Louisiana State University to become a lawyer or physical therapist.

As an athlete Ky’Albri finds motivation through the memory of her late grandfather. This season Ky’Albri hopes to encourage her teams to remain humble and finish strong at the end of the game. Her goal is to strive to do her best and help the entire team by her efforts. She wants younger athletes to understand that practice makes perfect and it will help their abilities on the field.
