ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Lalia Greene, Neah Bay basketball

Neah Bay’s Lalia Green had an outstanding Class 1B State Tournament for the Red Devils, helping to lead her team to a fifth-place finish at state, its highest finish ever.

Greene started at the tournament leading the team with 16 points in a win against Mount Vernon Christian, then in the Red Devils’ final game against Sunnyside Christian, she scored 15.

The good news for Neah Bay is that Greene is just a freshman and along with six other freshmen who played varsity will be coming back next year for the Red Devils.
