Student Success Stories
Part 2
Kimani Hunt, 19, a
Dean’s List student as Davidson County Community College, is a standout 6’5”
player on the DCCC Strom basketball team who serves as a role model for other
students both on and off the court. With a 3.7 grade point average for the fall
semester and cumulative basketball point total of 765 as of Feb. 18h, 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 to the 1st team
All Freshman in 2009-2010, Hunt served on the 2009-2010 Region X and District H
Championships teams, and he played with the Storm in the last year’s 2010 NJCAA
National Championships tournament. “Kimani 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.” Kim Kirk, DCCC’s director of athletics and wellness, agrees. “Kimani’s
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 the Riverside
High School in Durham before enrolling at DCCC. He hopes to pursue a career in
sports management.
