Erika Ettl: Chip off the old coach

Rare is it that a freshman can enter a high school varsity basketball team's lineup and have an immediate impact.

But not often is that freshman a basketball coach's daughter (Paul Ettl of Yokota's boys). She's already honed her skills in youth ball and played her father in countless games of H-O-R-S-E in the backyard. As a result, Erika Ettl of Yokota has stepped in in style, averaging 18 points in the Panthers' first three games.

This week's Home Team page profiles Ettl. Enjoy. :)
