Q&A with Kayla Mershon

One of the top high school players in the state of Minnesota, Kayla Mershon helped lead Minnetonka High School to a state championship as a junior. The 6-3 forward was part of a four-player recruiting class that was ranked among the top 20 teams in the nation by ESPN in 2018.

Kayla took a few minutes out of her schedule to answer some questions to provide a little bit more insight about her life off the court.
