Several area prep athletes sign D-I letters

Lindsay Stockton isn’t looking past her final year at Gonzaga Prep. But the daughter of Hall of Fame point guard John is already embracing the next step in her career.

Stockton, also a point guard, signed a letter of intent Wednesday with Montana State University. The early national letter of intent signing period runs until Wednesday.

“I’ve been playing on the same AAU team and the same high school team for what seems like forever,” Stockton said. “I’m looking forward to something new. I’m looking forward to fighting for a spot on a team and for a new experience.”

Stockton, who will be a four-year starter at G-Prep this year, averaged 12.9 as the Bullpups qualified for the state tournament last year.

She chose MSU over Idaho, which also offered a scholarship.

• Lewis and Clark had two basketball players sign with women’s programs: Devyn Galland with Stanford and Nakia Arquette with Utah.

Jamie Weisner of Clarkston, whose father was a coach at Shadle Park and an administrator at Rogers, was expected to sign with Oregon State.
