Shatori Walker-Kimbrough says one of her goals at some point in the near future is to dunk a basketball. Maybe even next season at Hopewell High School.
But when it comes to the best female athlete in the WPIAL, Walker-Kimbrough is a slam-dunk winner – again.
Walker-Kimbrough recently finished her junior year at Hopewell, and it was a year to remember. Walker-Kimbrough played three sports for Hopewell, but did more than just play them. She excelled in all three. More accurately, she dominated in the three.

Joe Dunn was known as one of the good guys among WPIAL basketball coaches. But that fraternity is now minus one good guy.
Dunn resigned as Trinity High School’s boys coach last week. He wouldn’t rule out returning to coaching someday, but for now, he wants to spend more time with his family. Dunn and his wife have two daughters and a son.
Dunn has been coaching for 26 years and had other successful coaching stints at Mount Pleasant and Seton-LaSalle. Dunn became pretty good at taking down programs and turning them into more than respectable. He did it at Mount Pleasant and he...
