Plateau players dotted the rosters when South Puget Sound League 2A and 3A basketball coaches determined their first-team, second-team and honorable mention selections.
White River girls
Junior sharpshooter Amanda Lance was tabbed as the league’s most valuable player, sharing the honor with Sumner’s Jamie Lange. Lance averaged 14 points per game, along with three assists and four rebounds.
Named to the all-league first team were junior Kristin Sturdivan (10 points per game) and freshman Kendall Bird (11.5 points, seven rebounds per game); sophomore Darian Gore (seven points, six rebounds) was a second-team pick.
Lance and Sturdivan are repeat selections, having been named to the first team a season ago.
This marks back-to-back MVP honors for the Hornet girls program, as Kennedy Hobert was MVP a season ago. She now plays for George Fox University.
Bird accomplished something that hasn’t been done at White River for many years. The last Hornet freshman to land on the first team was Trisha Hermanson, honored following the campaign of 1997-98.
White River boys
For the White River boys, seniors Brandon Dove and Spencer Swigart were first-team selections. Dove closed out his Hornet career as a four-year starter and two-time selection to the all-league first team. This season he averaged 11 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2 steals per game.
Swigart was the team’s top scorer this season, averaging 13 points per outing. He also contributed five rebounds and two assists.
Senior Brandon Garvin (10 points, five rebounds, two assists) and junior Dustin France (12 points, five rebounds, three steals and three assists) received honorable mention.
A year ago, France was a second-team pick and Swigart earned honorable mention.
