The biggest game of Makana Stone’s relatively short college hoops career tips off Friday afternoon.
The Coupeville High School grad and her Whitman College teammates face Trinity University (Texas) in the third round of the NCAA D-III women’s basketball championships.
The Blues (25-4) are playing in St. Paul, Minnesota, at the home of St. Thomas University, and tip-off for the Sweet 16 contest is 3:30 PM Pacific time.
Knock off Trinity, the #7 team in the nation at 28-1, and Whitman advances to the Elite Eight Saturday, where it would face the winner of St. Thomas and Marymount (Virginia) for a trip to the Final Four.
Stone, who has played in 28 of 29 games this season, starting her last 12, is averaging 6.9 points and 6.3 rebounds a night.
She’s #2 on the team in rebounding and field goal percentage.
