She’s good for a double-double wherever she plays.
Coupeville High School grad Makana Stone kicked off her second season of professional basketball Friday, racking up 13 points and 12 rebounds while playing in Norway.
While the former Wolf added three steals and a block during her debut in the Kvinneligaen, it wasn’t enough to save her new squad, as Baerum fell 66-43 to Ulriken.
Stone, who played for Leicester in the Women’s British Basketball League last season, was on the court for a team-best 36 minutes Friday.
She’s one of two Americans on Baerum’s roster, joined by Abbey Hoff.
Stone’s 13 points topped her team’s scoring efforts, with Shibi Ahmadi chipping in with 10.
Ulriken had three players in double figures, as Synne Jacobsen (17), Klett Celine (16), and Stine Austgulen (14) combined to form a potent trio.
Baerum returns to action Sunday, Oct. 16, when Stone and her new teammates face off with Ullern.
