Kamiko in the News
Williams signs with UT
Northeast guard ready to contend for national title with Lady Vols
November 15, 2008 - GEORGE ROBINSON, The Leaf-Chronicle
Kamiko Williams used to dream about the day she'd
don Tennessee orange. It's been an obsession of hers
since she was 9 years old.
Even as a middle school student — the daughter in a
military family — Williams didn't think it was
possible.
But sitting at a desk in the Northeast High library
Friday afternoon, Williams put her signature on a
piece of paper that cemented that dream.
"I always had this feeling that I could do it," she
said, after signing her national letter of intent to
play basketball for the defending women's NCAA
champions. "But there was a big part of me that
said, 'Nah, it can't happen. Tennessee is too big.'
I thought maybe I'd go somewhere a little smaller.
But here I am."
And right beside Williams Friday was her father,
Vincent — a master sergeant in the Army who is
attending school at the United States Army Sergeant
Major Academy at Fort Bliss near El Paso, Texas.
"That was a huge shock to me," Williams said. "He
called me Thursday and asked when I'd be signing and
I told him (Friday) and he said OK. Then I opened my
door at home, and he's standing right there."
Vincent Williams, who was a high school standout
himself in Washington, D.C., more than 20 years ago,
always knew his daughter had the opportunity to do
big things.
"I always told her that it's not too many people who
get to dream about something and have that dream
come true," he said. "I had aspirations when I
played ball. I was a McDonald's All-American nominee
in high school. But Kamiko has set her mind to
something, and she's been able to accomplish it.""

August 7, 2008 - Chris Hansen & Mark Lewis, ESPN.com
Five-foot-eleven Kamiko Williams from
Clarksville, Tenn., has a versatile and at times
explosive game. The combo guard for the GA/Lina
76'ers can take over a game with the ball in her
hands and become a one man bad dream for defenses.
She has the ability to play both the point and the
shooting guard positions and has already committed
to taking those skills to Knoxville and the
University of Tennessee. The left hander's attack is
aggressive and she's just as good in transition as
she is in the half court. She can get all the way to
the rim or pull up with the short jumper when the
defense rotates.

Northeast's girls basketball team didn't have the ending it had hoped for, but it still had the most dangerous roster from top to bottom in the city.
And most teams weren't exactly thrilled to have to face a team that could take a four-point lead and turn it into a 24-point advantage in a matter of minutes.
That's been the reality for Northeast the past four years and each year a star player has emerged to grab the spotlight. Last year it was Dawn Evans.
This year it belonged to Kamiko Williams.

October 19, 2007 - Pat Summitt/Lady Vols News
The Tennessee Lady
Vols also picked up a commitment on Thursday, but it
wasn't Webb's Glory Johnson or any player from the
Class of 2008. Instead, head coach Pat Summitt got a
head start on the Class of 2009. Clarksville's
Kamiko Williams announced she would sign with the
Lady Vols in November of 2008. The word came after
Williams took an unofficial visit to Knoxville.
