Evie Hance, above, of the Orcas Christian School was honored by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association by being named Student Athlete of the Week, Nov. 30 to Dec. 6.

The WIAA chooses 12 athletes from around the state each week to receive this honor.

Hance was nominated because of her performance on Dec. 4 against Grace Academy. After two players got in early foul trouble, Hance was asked to switch positions and play point guard for the remainder of the game. The Saints were down 12 early in the second quarter but started to catch up. A few steals and 3-point shots helped the Saints force overtime. They then won by 8 points. Hance had a game high of 27 points.
