Wolf hoops legend Makana Stone, enjoying a summer vacation back in Coupeville, is spending part of her time passing on hardwood wisdom.
She and fellow pro basketball player Jaron Kirkley put on a three-day camp in the CHS gym last week for elementary school children.
Now, this weekend, as the Arts and Crafts Festival and Race the Reserve also invaded Cow Town, Stone, who has been playing overseas, spent time working with middle and high school players.
The former Wolf ace will return to Norway for another season of nailing jumpers, but for now, she’s at home in the same gym she once lit up as a teenager.
The circle of life plays out, one defensive drill at a time.

The world traveler came home and brought some international flavor with her.
Coupeville grad Makana Stone, who has been playing professional basketball in England and Norway the past couple years, is back at her teenage stomping grounds for a few days.
Working with fellow pro hoops star Jaron Kirkley, the former Wolf ace is putting on basketball skills camps for a new generation of players in the CHS gym.
Last week, it was players in elementary school, while this week her charges hail from middle and high school.
Regardless of the age bracket, they all are here to learn, and Stone is here to give back to a community she has inspired for many seasons.
