Top Senior Power Forwards (Pt. 1)
5’11 PF Mia Hughes Mia Hughes 5'11" | PF Woodinville | 2021 State WA out of Woodinville High School takes spot number one. Her resume, consistency and dominant performances time after time make this clear. Very few hustle harder and play with the strength and motor that she does. There is a lot of talk about her being undersized for her position, but her production speaks for itself. Hughes is signed to Montana State.
6’2 PF Trista Hull Trista Hull 6'2" | PF La Salle | 2021 State WA is a close runner-up after leading La Salle High School to a state title. At 6’2, she has a good skill set finishing with either hand and using her great length on the boards. Hull sat out this last Spring/Summer with a torn knee, but she is back healthy and hopes to suit up for a shortened senior season if there is one in Washington. A Boise State Bronco signee!
6’0 PF Fatoumata Jaiteh Fatoumata Jaiteh 6'0" | PF Meadowdale | 2021 State WA from Meadowdale High School is a good athlete with some more untapped potential and that Northern Arizona hopes to bring out. She runs the floor well, has great length and deceptive footwork around the basket. She will join NAU in the 2021-2022 season.
5’11 PF Alivia Stephens Alivia Stephens 5'11" | PF Issaquah | 2021 State WA has been a consistently strong performer for Issaquah High School the last few years and she checks in at number four on this list. Stephens runs the floor really well, she can knock down the midrange jumper and she is an unselfish performer. She is signed to Army West Point.
6’0 PF Madison Rubino Madison Rubino 6'0" | PF Glacier Peak | 2021 State WA has been a centerpiece to Glacier Peak’s strong performances the last few seasons. She is a strong positional rebounder, sets hard screens and plays hard all around. She does the vast majority of her damage inside of 15 feet and will be looked to do the same and more for Idaho in the Big Sky.
