LOS ANGELES -- Washington signee Mercedes Wetmore already has three state titles on her resume. But now the point guard can add something even more impressive.

Earlier today, Wetmore was named the Gatorade Washington Girls Basketball Player of the Year, one of the most prestigious awards in the country for prep sports.

The 5-8 guard from Auburn-Riverside led the Ravens to a state title this year, scoring 17 points in an overtime victory over Mead. Overall, she averaged 17.3 ppg in addition to the 3.97 GPA she pulled in the classroom. She also tallied almost six rebounds and four assists per game.

Wetmore is one of three recruits the Huskies have signed for the 2010-11 season.
