Whatcom Hoops Girls Top 30: #23 Colee Harper

In an amazing season filled with outstanding players, Whatcom Hoops is ranking the top 30 girls. Each day we’ll feature an outstanding player in our county and count down until we get to #1. So join us daily as we honor the best of the best.

#23

Colee Harper, junior, Squalicum

WHY SHE’S #23: If there was a most-improved Northwest Conference team, the 5-foot-9 guard would be first team. Often overlooked among the Storm’s talented class of 2027, she moved into the starting lineup because of injuries and immediately made an impact on both offense and defense, averaging more than 8 points, 3 rebounds, 3 steals, and 1 assist a game.

COACH CADEN MEE: “Colee was a track star — the kid can run the floor. She had a great nose for the ball as seen by her steals and offensive rebounds and was voted most improved by her teammates.”

NOTE: Thank you to the coaches and to Tyler Anderson of WhatcomPreps.com for season stats.
