Orcas Lady Vikings Baskeball Coach Tim Hance announced today, “It’s my honor and pleasure to announce that Bella Nigretto has made All-State and the Westside 2B Girls All-State Basketball Team.”

She was today invited to participate in the Washington All-State Girls Basketball Games in Spokane, Wash. on June 23, Coach Hance said.

“The Lady Vikings Team is also invited to come watch and support Bella as she competes with the best players in the State of Washington! I’ll be there and hope you can come, too! To be honored as an All-State athlete as a sophomore is an amazing achievement. Congratulations Bella Nigretto! We’re all very proud of you!

Selection to the All-State team is determined through Athletic Directors, Head Coaches, and local media.  Players must be All-League MVPs or 1st Team All-League to be considered.

Hance quotes “some statistics that are of note: Total Points = 290; Average Points Per Game = 15.3; Total Rebounds = 84; Rebounds Per Game = 4.4; Assists = 25; Steals = 51.  All statistics are quite impressive, considering Bella Nigretto was double-teamed much of the season by opponents.”
