Porter led the Miners (17-4 through January) to a 6-0 start in Sierra Foothill League play. She is averaging 19 points per game for the season and has averaged more than 22 points per game in league play. A lethal shooter, she has caught fire from beyond the arc in SFL action, making 57 percent of her 3-point shots in the first five league victories. A captain for Nevada Union, Porter leads her team on the court as an accomplished shooting guard and off the court as a unifying force to bond veteran players with underclassmen.
IN HER OWN WORDS: “I have been trying to step up on defense this season to help the team. Everyone knows that scoring is what I do, so I want to be a better player at both ends of the floor.”
WHAT YOU DIDN’T KNOW: The Miners’ sharp-shooter has had some magical moments on the court, and she is a huge Harry Potter fan. Nevada Union’s homecoming theme this school year was Harry Potter-themed, which gave Porter the opportunity to indulge her Hogwarts’ side without giving up her deep passion for the fictional icon.
HONORABLE MENTION
Jordan Roberson — The Cordova-Rancho Cordova junior guard is averaging 28.7 points per game, which included a season-high 34 in a 75-50 victory over two-time defending league champ Antelope.
