Pollock, a 5-foot-9 guard from Mogadore, Ohio, is averaging 19.4 points, 10.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 3.7 steals for Mogadore High School, which is still alive in the Ohio High School Athletic Association playoffs in the district semifinals with a 17-5 record. A three-time All-Conference and All-District First Team selection, Pollock was named to the All-Ohio Third Team as a junior. She holds school records for most points in a season (482), most three-pointers made in a season (72), most free throws in a game (18) and a season (126). She became the school’s all-time leading scorer this season and now has over 1,600 career points. She also is the school’s career leader in free throws made and three-pointers made.

"This has been a good year for us on the recruiting front and it just got even better with the addition of Kelli,” said MVNU head coach Steve Gregory. "We are delighted with her decision to become a Lady Cougar next year. She has had a tremendous high school career. People will be enamored with the numbers that she has put up offensively the past four years. More impressive, though, is her overall game and the value she places on team. She has a lot of versatility and has an uncanny ability to knock down the deep three-pointer. She has also done a tremendous job in helping her team in other areas such as rebounding, defense, distributing the ball, and leadership.”

"Kelli brings a lot to the table and that is what gets me excited as a coach,” Gregory added. "She has a lot of talent and will make our team better. While she is a great talent, I think she will be a tremendous person as far as character goes and will be a great representative of MVNU. I was not only looking for a talented player, but a person of strong character and Christian integrity. We are very pleased that Kelli has chosen MVNU to continue her development as a Christian student-athlete.”

In addition to playing basketball at Mogadore High School, Pollock was a four-year member of the volleyball team and was selected as the District Player of the Year as a senior. She has also earned one varsity letter in softball. In addition, she has been on the honor roll every semester and was inducted into National Honor Society. She has served as the student council treasurer and is a S.W.A.T. leader (Students With A Testimony). She has also been involved with the Hugh O’Brien Youth Leadership Conference for two years.

"There are several reasons why I chose MVNU,” said Pollock of her college choice. "I wanted to play basketball and get a good education. MVNU seems like a great place to do both of those things and further develop my relationship with God. The campus, the Christian atmosphere, the super nice people, a great Psychology department, and awesome players all add up to what I think will be a great fit for me.”

The Lady Cougars, who are an NAIA Division II school, finished the 2006-2007 season with an 11-17 overall record.
