Lisa Fortier Fighting for Four-Star Recruit Finley Parcher’s Attention
The Lynden High School name, of Whatcom County, Washington, is nearly five miles south of the Canada-U.S. border.
Four-star recruit Finley Parcher from Lynden, Washington, is currently focused on seven schools for her basketball future. The Gonzaga Bulldogs are among the top programs on her list, alongside the University of Connecticut, Oregon Ducks, Washington Huskies, Stanford Cardinal, UCLA Bruins, and Arizona Wildcats. She has already visited Gonzaga, the Ducks, Stanford, and UCLA, according to On3's Talia Goodman.
Parcher praised the Gonzaga coaching staff and basketball culture, stating that it feels close to home. The 6-foot-1 prospect, a four-star guard in the class of 2027, has represented the Northwest Blazers in the Under Armour circuit during the summer AAU scene. Originally established in Spokane, Washington in 1988, the organization has expanded to Oregon, Idaho, and Montana under Steve Klees over the past four decades.
As a multi-sport athlete, Parcher also contributed as a volleyball player at Lynden High School. In her standout junior season, she averaged 22.2 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 3.5 steals while the team won the first-ever three-peat of WIAA girls' 2A state championships under head coach Rob Adams.
