Maybe they should just rename the award in her honor.
Coupeville grad Makana Stone’s body of work on the court for Whitman College continues to attract praise from those around her.
Monday, she was named as the Northwest Conference Women’s Basketball Athlete of the Week for the second time in less than a month.
Stone, who also was tabbed for the honor Nov. 19, was hailed for her work this past weekend at Whitman’s annual Kim Evanger Raney Memorial Classic.
She went off for 25 points in a win over Colorado College, then put up 16 points and 13 rebounds in a battle to the wire with undefeated Thomas More College, the #4 team in NCAA D-III basketball.
Jordan Jenkins, a senior forward for Willamette University, was honored as the league’s Men’s Basketball Athlete of the Week.
Whitman, which is off until Dec. 20, sits at 6-3 overall, 2-0 in league play, with Stone, a junior, leading the team in 14 of 22 stats categories. She’s second in three others.
On the season, she has 158 points, 78 rebounds, 13 assists, 14 steals and nine blocks, while shooting 68-121 from the field and 22-30 at the line.
Stone is on the cusp of a personal statistical mark, as well, as she is just two points shy of scoring 700 for her collegiate career.
