Here’s an updated look at the top basketball scorers in the Western Conference, ranked by per-game averages through yesterday’s games.
The respective leaders — Taylor Stevens of Marysville-Pilchuck and Kristi Kingma of Jackson — are the same as last time, but the rest of the rankings have fluctuated a bit.
As I compiled the top-10 lists, I realized something: I still haven’t seen several of these outstanding scorers play yet. Hopefully I can fix that soon. I’m particularly interested to see Chris McGrath (Cascade boys), Brett Kingma (Jackson boys) and Kelsey Patrick (Kamiak girls).
