Yokota’s Ettl to play college basketball in N. Dakota
Published: February 11, 2012
“All those shots in the driveway,” Yokota coach Paul Ettl said, helped his daughter Erika take the first step up to a higher level of ball.
The All-Far East senior basketball guard has signed a national letter of intent to play point guard and shooting guard at Valley City State University in North Dakota. Between athletic, academic and diversity student aid, Ettl will get “nearly a full ride” to play for the Vikings of the Dakota Athletic Conference. They’re 15-13 overall and 0-4 in conference with two regular-season games left.
Ettl has been the face of Yokota girls basketball for four seasons, leading the Panthers to a third-place finish in the Far East Division I Tournament last February at Naval Station, Guam, and DODDS Japan championship in her senior year.
“I’m excited, looking forward to see what the next level is like,” Ettl said.
