Walker was a basketball star at Garfield High School in Seattle in the late 1970s . As a senior in 1980 , she averaged over 35 points per game, and set still-extant Washington State tournament records of 40 points and 17 field goals en route to a state championship. Her dominance landed her a place in the National High School Hall Of Fame and the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association Hall of Fame. She is considered by many to be the best female basketball player from Washington. In the early 1980s , Walker played at Louisiana State University on coach Sue Gunter 's first Lady Tigers team, averaging nearly 25 points a game. A two-time All-American , she is in the Louisiana State Hall of Fame. After stints playing pro ball in Italy and Germany , Walker joined the Globetrotters, following the trailblazing Woodard by a mere three weeks. She is now the girls basketball coach at Garfield, which under her direction won the state championship in 2005 . EXTERNAL LINKS |
