The state's returning Gatorade Player of the Year, the 6-foot senior guard had led the Saxons to a 23-3 record and a berth in the Class 6A state quarterfinals at the time of her selection. Westbrook averaged 24.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 5.1 steals and 1.4 blocks through 26 games. A McDonald's High School All-American Game selection, Westbrook was a member of the USA Basketball Women's National Team that won the 2016 FIBA Americas U18 Women's Championship. Rated as the No. 3 recruit in the Class of 2017 by Blue Star Basketball Report, she entered the state quarterfinals with 1,821 points in her prep basketball career.
Westbrook has maintained a 3.23 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a national letter of intent to play basketball on scholarship at the University of Tennessee beginning this fall.
Westbrook has volunteered locally as part of blood-donation drives with the Red Cross and as a youth basketball coach and mentor. She has also donated her time to multiple community-service initiatives through her church youth group. "What makes Evina dangerous is that she can score in a variety of ways," said Dan Lumpkin, head coach of Forest Grove High. "She is also a ferocious defender and can guard all five positions."
