Kapaun head coach Billy Graf said Sophia Gimino is one of the best basketball players he’s ever coached. High praise coming from Graf. But it’s not a surprise if you’ve seen Sophia play.

“She has no weakness in her game. She is a student of the game and wants to be as good as she can be. Not only is she an accomplished basketball player, she picked up golf two years ago and was an All-City member of our state championship golf team this year. She also won state in the javelin last year as a sophomore on a broken foot,” said Graf.

She also helps broadcast the football games, boy’s basketball games and baseball games for Kapaun. Being a student-athlete at Kapaun is special for Gimino for many reasons.

“I love how close everyone is and how we all have each other’s backs,” she said.

Her favorite class at school is U.S. History and she has big plans once she graduates.

“After I graduate, I want to attend college and study pre-med while either playing basketball or running track,” said Gimino.

The junior point guard said she enjoys hanging out with friends and playing sports in her free time.
