Kharisma Davis is an eight grade basketball player, and she is one of the best on the team.

Davis has been playing since she was in second grade. She still plays to this day, and she is going to continue to play in the future.

Davis’s favorite memory from eighth grade was when the team was on the bus and she spit water all over the place because she was laughing. Davis said that she has achieved her accomplishments by being one of the starters on the eight grade team while she was in seventh.

Davis wants to continue here career by playing in college and getting a scholarship and then continue to play in the WNBA.
