She had a very good weekend.

Coupeville High School grad Makana Stone put up back-to-back strong performances in snowy Norway the past two days, sparking her pro hoops team to a sweep of its two games.

Sunday, the former Wolf poured in a game-high 19 points and snatched 11 boards to spark Baerum to a 63-58 win over Midtbyen.

The victory, coming less than 24 hours after a big triumph against Storm Ungdom, lifts Stone and Co. to 6-2 on the season.

Baerum sits in second place in the seven-team Kvinneligaen, a game up on Asker (5-3), as everyone chases undefeated Ulriken (10-0).

Stone, who also picked up two assists, a steal, and a blocked shot in Sunday’s win, scored from every angle.

Coupeville’s progeny netted six field goals, added a three-ball from deep, then topped things off with four made free throws.

Sparked by its North American import, Baerum jumped out to a 25-18 lead after one quarter of play, before Midtbyen rallied a bit.

The lead was sliced down to 34-32 at the half, before Stone and her teammates pulled back away with a 17-10 run across the third period.

Abbey Hoff knocked down 12 points for Baerum, while Shiba Ahmadi banked in 10 to give the squad three players in double-digits.

On the season Stone has put up stellar numbers, compiling 154 points, 96 rebounds, nine assists, 16 steals, and four blocked shots.

She has recorded double figure scoring in every game this season, topping out with 33 points against Asker in a game in late October.

After the back-to-back weekend bouts, Baerum is off for several days, returning to action Saturday, Dec. 3 against Ullern, which currently sits at 3-4 on the season.

It was a big bounce back.

Playing six days after taking a rare loss, Baerum and its American assassin, Makana Stone, unloaded on a hapless foe Saturday in Norway.

With Coupeville’s progeny going off for 15 points, 11 rebounds, and three steals, she and her teammates pounded winless Storm Ungdom 81-28 in a professional basketball bout.

The victory lifts Baerum to 5-2 on the season and keeps the squad in sole possession of second place in the seven-team Kvinneligaen.

Stone and Co., who trail just Ulriken (9-0) in the league standings, get right back at it Sunday with a game against Midtbyen (4-4).

Baerum spread out its offense Saturday, with four players netting double-digits scoring totals.

Abbey Hoff and Julie McCarthy banked in 17 points apiece, with Stone, who sank a three-ball as part of her effort, and Camilla Gjerstad both tallying 15.

On the season, Stone has racked up a team-best 135 points, 85 rebounds, seven assists, 15 steals, and three blocked shots.

This is the second season of pro ball for the former Wolf ace, who played in England as a rookie.

She’s filling up the stat sheet, day in and day out.

Coupeville grad Makana Stone continued her torrid play Sunday, but even her efforts couldn’t save the day against an overwhelming opponent.

The former Wolf poured in a team-high 18 points, to go with nine rebounds, two assists, three steals, and two blocks, but Baerum fell 72-56 to undefeated Ulriken in a Norwegian professional basketball game.

The win lifts Ulriken to 9-0, while Baerum (4-2) sits in second place in the seven-team Kvinneligaen.

Stone and Co. were playing for the first time in two weeks, but they put up a spirited battle against the league leaders.

Three other Baerum players reached double-digit scoring, with Abbey Hoff (13), Julie McCarthy (12), and Shiba Ahmadi (10) all making the nets sing.

Ulriken was paced by hot-shooting guard Aurora Sorbye, who torched the joint for a game-high 30 points.

Stone’s 18-point performance included a pair of three-balls, as the American assassin hit from inside, outside, and every which way.

Through her first six games in Norway, she has piled up 120 points, 74 rebounds, seven assists, 12 steals, and three blocked shots.

Baerum has back-to-back games up next on its schedule, playing Storm Ungdom (0-7) and Midtbyen (4-3) Nov. 26 and 27, respectively.

This is Stone’s second season of pro hoops, after she played in England last season.

The nets await.

Another season of Coupeville High School girls’ basketball — the 49th overall — kicks off Monday with the first day of practice.

The first games arrive Nov. 30 with a road trip to Langley to face archrival South Whidbey, and once again the art of recording scoring stats begins anew.

I’m still missing any point totals from the inaugural 1974-1975 season, thanks to the local newspaper flat-out declining to write about any of those games.

The Whidbey News-Times Sports Editor of the day, Wallie Funk, may be a journalistic legend, but he had blind spots, and a glaring one was his failure to acknowledge female athletes.

But other than that season, we’re sitting pretty good, having been able to document the scoring efforts of 238 Wolf girls.

Of that group, there are eight active players, should they choose to play this season.

Senior Maddie Georges tops that group, having tossed in 253 career points, which places her at #43 on the all-time scoring chart.
