Laney is a fun player to watch. She has all the makings of a D1/D2 colligate player and I know she’ll play at the next level somewhere that fits her play style nicely. She is a quick guard who has an incredibly high IQ for the game. She can attack and finish at the rim if defenders play close but also knock down deep shots at a high clip if they sag. She’s always a threat on the court and it led to her dropping 31 points to go along with a school record 7 threes.

Laney is a fast rising prospect in the 2027 class. She plays hard every possession, never not going 110% during every play. She provides a big spark on both ends for her team, communicating through screens and always making the extra pass on the offensive end. Weaver does a great job at breaking down her defenders with the dribble, getting down-hill and finishing in the paint effectively.

A fearless guard, Laney isn’t afraid to get downhill and attack her defender and she can finish in different ways near the rim. She also has a smooth, knockdown shot and displays great court vision and can get her teammates involved. Laney has a lot of time to continue to build on her tremendous skills and could make a lot of noise in the future.

Lainey has been making a name for herself during the AAU season and as a freshman at Puyallup last season. She is a tough player who isn’t afraid to attack the basket. She is tough going to her left and getting to the hoop to finish with either hand quite frequently. She has a nice looking shot and knocks down threes. She doesn’t hesitate to get downhill and make plays at the basket. She sees the floor and you see the skills that make her a player that will make big strides in the next few years. She might be flying under the radar but should change that. Likely next season as a scoring guard.

How do you think your team and yourself performed throughout this season?rn-We had slower start to the year than we wanted. We play in a tough league and had some major ups and downs throughout the season. With having a small program that’s building, we have a lot of young and inexperienced players that made for some difficult growing pains. I felt that we got better and better through the season putting together some really nice wins in the second half that led us into a very strong finish in the playoffs even though we fell short of some goals.
What was the biggest obstacle you and your team faced this season?rn-Having a small program and smaller team with so many players that swing, we relied a lot on younger players and regardless of talent, eventually young players can hit a wall. Everyone was exhausted with the tough season and at times losing motivation so the inexperience made it tough to find momentum at times in the middle of the season. For me personally, our starting point guard moved in the off-season which put me into a position I had never really played before and into a role of higher importance. I was pushed into a bigger position of leadership as a point guard at times and in our league, it never felt like there was an easy night.
What do you think you improved most on the court?rn-I improved most in playing in more of a leadership role knowing at times I had to carry a heavy load. Being put into that role, I improved a lot in seeing the team as a whole and understanding how to help our team function as a unit. I think my basketball IQ grew a lot this season.
What are you looking to improve before next season?rn-Definitely the mental side of the game. As a freshman, I was put into a large role as a leader on the floor. As I mentioned, sometimes you hit that freshman wall. Knowing that next year my role will be even more significant, I want to work on my mental toughness and being able to push myself even harder when things are tough or my team is going through a rough patch. I want to be that leader my team needs.
Who are some teammates that you think stood out this season? Who are some teammates who could have breakout years next year in your eyes?rn- Lola Woodburn Lola Woodburn 5'6" | PG Puyallup | 2025 State WA was always a positive force on the floor. Having her around to pick her teammates up was huge, not to mention how hard she works and her willingness to sacrifice her body for the team. Playing with my big sister, Maddy, was a huge blessing and a lot of fun. She was her usual self, getting double-doubles every night and extremely reliable.
My freshman teammate, Adriana Adams, is right there as next up. With her extreme level of athleticism, I feel like she is on the cusp of a huge breakthrough and if she continues to work hard throughout the offseason, I think she could have a breakout year for us.

, had a big hand in their game against Olympia scoring inside and out, and showing some hustle to get to 50/50 balls. She looked good hitting the 3 but really stood out with her paint finishes, getting scrappy with a hustle second-chance bucket and then utilizing a strong pivot to swivel around her defender and find the angle to finish off the glass.
