Forget about using a pencil. They can write her name in with a marker at this point.
Coupeville grad Makana Stone, tearing up the hardwood in jolly ol’ England, was tabbed Tuesday to the FocusHoops Team of the Week.
It’s the fourth time in six weeks the former Wolf has appeared on the list, with two Player of the Week honors already to her credit.
This time out, Flo Ward of Bristol earned top honors after a 28-point performance, but Stone was hot on her heels.
The American Assassin racked up a game-high 18 points, a team-best 13 rebounds, and four assists, hitting the game-winning free throw Saturday as Loughborough University toppled Nottingham Trent 71-70.
Stone has played in six games for the Riders, putting together a double-double each time out.
Loughborough heads to winter break with a 5-2 record, tied for second-place in the 12-team Women’s National Basketball League.
The Riders, who are 5-1 since Stone pulled on a jersey, sit a game back of Ipswich (6-1), who they beat on a last-second shot from Coupeville’s progeny.
On the season, the Whitman grad has 103 points, 95 rebounds, 13 assists, and 13 steals.
Stone is currently #2 in the WNBL in rebounding (15.8 a night), #3 in efficiency (159.0), #7 in scoring (17.2), and #8 in free throw percentage (79.3%).
When she’s not pursuing her hoop dreams, she’s busy chasing a Master’s in Exercise Physiology.
