Kate Starbird
TACOMA, WASH.
Travis, a 5'11" senior guard on the Ephrata High boys' basketball team, and Kate, a 6'1" senior guard for the Lakes High girls' squad, each set a state career scoring record. Travis, whose best performance came during a 124-68 defeat of Lake Roosevelt High in which he scored 39 points and had 14 assists, ended his career with 2,292 points, including 419 three-point field goals. He led the Tigers to the Class A championship. Kate, who scored 2,753 points as a four-year starter for the Lancers, was named most valuable player of the girls' Class AAA tournament despite her school's fifth-place finish. As a senior she averaged 29.3 points, eight rebounds and four blocked shots per game.
