Fort Vancouver Girls: Seven seniors have Trappers looking to turn the tide

Fort Vancouver wants to right the ship.

The Trappers finished 0-10 in league last season, and haven’t won a league game since the 2012-13 season.

But head coach Arlisa Hinton feels like, in her fifth year, the program is starting to turn a corner.

“I think we’re finally ready to compete,” Hinton said. “Their mindsets are a little different. All the kids in the program now are totally bought in.”

This season Fort will be anchored by its seven seniors, five of whom play featured roles last season. The Trappers will seek key contributions from 6-foot junior Trinity Stegall, the team’s defensive pillar.

The Trappers will look to senior guard Nini Salavea for the bulk of its scoring.

“Nini is going to be our key player, no if, ands or buts about it,” Hinton said.

Fort Vancouver suffered a blow when sophomore forward Kayla Hola was lost for the season to a knee injury.
