At this rate, they should just name the award after her.
Coupeville grad, and current Whitman College junior Makana Stone was named Monday as the Northwest Conference Women’s Basketball Athlete of the Week.
It’s the third time this season the former Wolf ace has been tabbed for the award, having already been picked Nov. 19 and Dec. 10.
This time around, Stone is being honored for a road trip in which she threw down three consecutive double-doubles while the Blues took over sole possession of first place in their conference.
Whitman bounced Whitworth, Linfield, and George Fox, which was ranked #12 in NCAA D-III ball, running its record to 6-0 in league play, 12-3 overall.
Stone went for 21 points and 17 rebounds at Whitworth, before following that performance up with 12 and 10 against Linfield and 17 and 11 in a first-place showdown with George Fox.
On the season, she is averaging 16.3 points and 9.1 boards a night.
This time around, Stone shared Athlete of the Week honors with Joey Hewitt of Whitman (men’s basketball), and the Whitworth duo of Cameron Lyon (women’s swimming) and Ryan Grady (men’s swimming).
