She’s a machine, kicking out double-doubles.

Her skills honed on the rough-and-tumble basketball courts of her Coupeville youth, world traveler Makana Stone continues to wow the masses in Norway.

Her latest accomplishment was a 20-point, 13-rebound performance Saturday, sparking Baerum to a 63-42 win over Midtbyen.

The victory lifts Stone and her pro hoops squad to 4-1 on the season, placing them firmly in second place in the seven-team Kvinneligaen.

Baerum is off until Nov. 20, when it gets a rematch with league leader Ulriken, which sits at 7-0.

Saturday’s matchup with Midtbyen was decided by rebounding, where Stone and crew snatched the glass clean, amassing a 58-30 advantage in corralling caroms.

Fellow American Julie McCarthy knocked down 19 points and grabbed 24 rebounds, while Henriette Hofermann paced Midtbyen with a team-high 11 points.

Stone, now in her second season of professional basketball after playing in England last year, has piled up 102 points, 65 rebounds, five assists, and nine steals while wearing a Baerum uniform.
