You can go home again.

The annual Tom Roehl Roundball Classic, an alumni hoops tourney dedicated to the memory of a former longtime Wolf coach, played out Saturday in the CHS gym.

Those on hand were there to remember their coach, raise money for scholarships to be given out in his name, and see who still had game (and who had spent too much time on the couch).

After a year down, Red Pride rebounded to win the title, beating the Coupeville Cows 59-48 in an all-Coupeville championship.

Last year’s tourney winners, Prestige World Wide, fell in the semifinals this time around.

Photographer John Fisken wandered by the gym and delivers the photos seen above.

The only thing that can cool them off is an enforced winter break.

Coupeville grad Makana Stone and the Whitman College women’s basketball team drilled a ranked foe Thursday, completing a clean sweep at the Trinity University Classic in San Antonio.

The 82-59 victory over the tourney hosts lifts the Blues, ranked #8 in NCAA D-III hoops, to 10-1.

With two wins by rout in as many days, Whitman heads home for the break riding a 10-game winning streak.

Stone and Co. are now off until Jan. 5, when they kick off a four-game home stand in Walla Walla.

The foe that night will be Pacific, and the game will start the heart of the Northwest Conference season for Whitman.

Currently sitting at 2-0 in league play, and in a first-place tie with George Fox, the Blues play their final 14 regular season games against conference opponents.

Thursday afternoon pitted Whitman against the #13 team in the nation, but it wasn’t as close a match-up as might have been expected.

The Blues led 16-13 after one quarter, stretched the margin to 41-33 at the break, then steadily pulled away after halftime.

The second half was when Stone did much of her damage, as she scored all eight of her points after the break.

The sophomore sensation added six rebounds, two assists and two steals, while All-American Casey Poe paced the Blues with 22 points.

For the season, Stone leads Whitman with 153 points on 58-90 (64%) shooting from the floor and 21-28 (75%) from the free throw line.

She also has 63 rebounds, 23 assists and eight steals.

They may never lose again.

Fueled by another breakout performance from sophomore sensation, and Coupeville grad, Makana Stone, the Whitman College women’s basketball squad roared to its ninth-straight win.

The Blues, ranked #8 in NCAA D-III, scorched Schreiner University 93-47 Wednesday in the opening game of the Trinity University Classic in San Antonio.

Now 9-1 on the season, Whitman returns to the floor Thursday to face the tourney hosts.

That should provide a tougher challenge, as Trinity is ranked #19 in the nation.

Wednesday it was all about putting a whuppin’ on the Mountaineers, as Whitman exploded out to a 26-14 lead after one quarter and never slowed down.

Stone went off for 16 points in just 18 minutes, on sweet 8-11 shooting from the floor, while snatching five rebounds and dealing out two assists.

She was one of the sparks which lit Whitman’s fire, tossing in eight of her points in the opening quarter.

The Blues had three gunners crack double-digits scoring, with All-American Casey Poe (18) and Emily Rommel (10) joining Stone.

With the game getting out of hand early, Whitman went to its bench liberally, with none of the Blues starters logging more than 22 minutes.

Through 10 games, Stone leads Whitman with 145 points, while adding 57 rebounds, 21 assists, six steals and a blocked shot.

She is pacing the Blues in field goal percentage at 66%, hitting 63 of 95 shots, while also knocking down 73% (19-26) at the free-throw stripe.

Another day, another honor.

Coupeville High School grad Makana Stone has been busy adding to her trophy room (if she has one) this past week.

After playing two superb games over the weekend for Whitman College, the former Wolf hoops star was tabbed as the MVP of the Whitworth Holiday Classic.

Monday, she picked up another honor, with the Northwest Conference hailing her as its women’s basketball Athlete of the Week.

Stone scored 29 points and hauled down seven rebounds this weekend, as Whitman pounded on Carroll (Mont.) College and Colorado College.

For the season, the sophomore sensation is averaging 14.3 points and 5.8 rebounds a night. She leads the Blues in points, field goal percentage and free throw percentage.

Whitman, which is ranked #7 in the most-recent NCAA D-III poll, is 8-1.

The Blues carry an eight-game winning streak to San Antonio, where they will play in the Trinity University Classic Dec. 20-21.
