1. STAR POWER

Two former 5A All-Idaho players of the year will be featured in the tournament in 2008 winner Kama Griffitts of Coeur d'Alene and 2007 winner Katie Baker of Lake City. Griffitts, a guard for the defending champions, is averaging a team-high 15.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.2 steals. She has a school-record 1,237 career points and will continue her career at Snow College in Utah. Baker, a post player and two-time Gatorade state player of the year who is bound for the University of Montana, is averaging 21.5 points, 11.5 rebounds and 3.0 blocked shots. Four other players from last season's All-Idaho team return to the state tournament and three play for Vallivue. First-teamer Jade McNorton (11.6 points, 6.3 rebounds) is back for Centennial, while first-teamer Devyn Christensen (16.6 points, 3.3 steals, 2.5 assists) and second-teamers Katelin Shannon (10.4 points, 3.6 assists) and Devan Matkin (8.3 points) will represent Vallivue. Matkin is a transfer from Twin Falls.

She looks like she can score some points, and rebound. But, how is her defense?

Her previous year her stats were 18.3 points and 9.8 rebounds. So, she certainly is improving. Looks to be a darn good power forward for the Lady Griz.

You know maybe my memory is a little faulty, but to be honest I really can not remember a player who played for Robin who was not a solid if not better defencive player by their Sophomore year. I can think of a few players who came into the program with iffy defencive skills but most of those got a nice redshirt slapped on their backs.

It is pretty simple with Selvig, you play Defense, or you don't play.

Bo learned that from playing for Jud. Speaking of Jud, I enjoy the story about TF Ryan. :lol: The basketball student manager's last name was Ryan. Frequently Jud would yell 'where's that f Ryan?' Eventually, all the players called him TF Ryan, and I think he got personalized TF Ryan plates for his vehicle.
 
TF Ryan would be Don Ryan, a Great Falls teacher who has been in the state legislature for a number of years. Don't know if he is still there. He catches the occasional game. I think that he and Dennis Murphy were managers working for Jud about the same time.
