The WPSL Northwest Division title is up for grabs this
weekend for the Spokane Shine. But no matter the results, the outlook looks
bright for the club beyond the two matches versus fellow contender Emerald City
FC (Friday, 7:00 pm PT) and winless Oregon Rush (Saturday, 2:00 pm PT) at Joe
Albi Stadium. High school standouts Kara Marbury (Mead) and Allison Jordan
(Central Valley) are a key factor in that potential.
“I am really excited for the next few years and what’s gonna
happen. [Marbury] is gonna be something special for Spokane Shine fans for
hopefully years to come, and she’s only 16,” said Spokane Shine head coach
Jason Quintero, echoing similar thoughts later about 17-year old Allison
Jordan. “Right now, just the growth she’s had in the past month, I don’t know what
she’s gonna be like in a couple years for us – it’s gonna be something special.”
