TOP DOG

Adna might have lost the District 4 championship to Rainier, but the Pirates still have consistently played at the highest level all season. Everyone knows what Karsyn Freeman brings, but Danika Hallom and McKenna Torrey complete well-rounded backcourt.

CAN FILL IT UP

How do you defend Freeman? Even when you have her in a disadvantageous position guarding her, she has such good body control, she makes more difficult shots than anybody in the state. A true alpha scorer who loves performing in the spotlight.

CAN'T-MISS MATCHUP

After Reardan won the District 6 championship, it gets a big statement opportunity by being matched up against defending state champion Napavine. Rylynn Green is a versatile playmaker on both ends, and ninth grader Chasyn Waters is already one of the best scorers on the team.
