Alumni

Coach Barrett graduated 15 players during his time as head coach at Auburn Riverside. The alumni players have played a huge part in establishing a foundation which players, coaches, school, family and community can all be proud of. It is our hope that we continue to graduate 100 % of our players. We wish them all continued success as they pursue other goals and dreams beyond high school. Thank you Riverside Alumni.

Heart, Intensity, and Passion were the words to describe what these three players thought the program needed. The most memorable experience was playing one of the all time great teams on the West Coast, Oregon City. AR finished a school's best 3rd in the league and went on and played 2 games at West Central District. Overall Record 12-11

Class of 2005

Led by Rylee Denbo, this team finished 2nd in league with a 13-3 record and placed 4th at West Central Districts thanks to an incredible steal with 7 seconds left from Amanda Gius and a Julie Futch finish at the other end to upset Lincoln by 1 in the quarterfinals. They went to state for the first time in school history. They opened up with the #4 ranked team in the state, Meadowdale. It was Katie Grad hitting 7 free throws down the stretch and in overtime to advance to play #2 Garfield in the second round. With 4 minutes to go it was a 4 point game until Garfield turned it up and went on to beat Riverside. They then went on and lost to Prairie in the 3rd round. Overall Record: 19-9.

Julie Futch came up short her junior year of playing for a state title and made it her goal to get her team to the state championship. Futch lifted her team to a 17-1 league record, giving Auburn Riverside it's first ever league championship. This time it was Lincoln who beat Auburn Riverside at West Central Distict on a foul called from the deep corner with no time on the clock. One official waved it off while the other one gave the player 2 shots. She hit her first free-throw for the win. Auburn Riverside went to state and opened up with Lake Stevens, a #1 seed from the Wesco. AR beat Lake Stevens. Up next was Eisenhowser. That game went back and forth but in the end it was too much AR. Semi-final match between Lewis and Clark and AR. LC was led by All-American Heather Bowman and advanced past AR to the finals. AR ended up losing in the 3rd place game on another last second foul. This time it was Angie Bjorkland (U of Tennessee), one of the finest and most humble players you will ever meet. Riverside brought home their first ever State Trophy ... 6th place. Overall Record: 22-7

Class of 2007
Stephanie Wilber, played basketball at Arizona State University in 07-08, transferred to be a part of the basketball program at Brigham Young University for 08-09.

Can you say 2007 State Champs and 2007 State Player of the Year? Yes, Auburn Riverside was on the winning side of a state title by upsetting an incredible Chief Sealth team. Before an crowd of 8,500, Auburn Riverside hoisted their first ever state championship on March 10, 2007. Captains Stephanie Wilber and Katie Grad came up with a saying at the beginning of the year, of which noone knew about. Rt2 310, which meant run the table March 10 (meaning we would be state champs). That saying came true. Led by the State Player of the Year, Wilber put up 16 points and 8 rebounds in her last high school game. Missing 9 games of the regular season due to a foot injury, Wilber placed the workload on junior Katie Grad. Those two went on to be Co-MVP's of the league and to bring Riverside back to back League Championships. They also went on to win their first ever West Central District Championship. League Record: 14-0. Overall Record: 27-2.
