Locker, Shine return to local stomping grounds

When Central Washington University's women's basketball team took the court Thursday, Jan. 9, at Sam Carver Gymnasium against Western Washington University, it was a home game of sorts for the Wildcats' Hannah Shine and Erika Locker.

Both Locker, a standout basketball player for Ferndale High School and later Whatcom Community College, and Shine, a star guard for Lynden High School, eyed this game since the beginning of the season because it offered a rarity: The chance to play in front of friends and family.
