She’s kind of popular.
Coupeville grad Makana Stone was hailed Monday by the Northwest Conference, earning her third Student/Athlete of the Week honor during the 2019-2020 basketball season.
The Whitman College senior tore up the floor in Tacoma this past weekend, leading her squad to back-to-back road wins and sole possession of first-place atop the league standings.
The Blues, ranked #9 in NCAA D-III women’s basketball, are 9-1 in conference action, 17-2 overall.
Stone put up back-to-back double-doubles, opening with a 12-point, 11-rebound performance Friday against Pacific Lutheran University.
The next day against the University of Puget Sound, she was even better, snatching 13 boards, while pouring in 30 points, her collegiate career high.
Stone was one of four NWC athletes honored Monday, as Ben College of Whitworth (men’s basketball), Kelli Callahan of UPS (women’s swim), and Dylan Reimers of UPS (men’s swim) joined her.
Across the 12 weeks of the basketball season, seven female hoops stars have been honored, with Stone and Molly Danielson of Linfield each getting the award three times apiece.
The former Coupeville ace has been tabbed for her league’s top honor in weeks five, eight, and 12.
