<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Mohsenians are 36-0 at East Valley, George Fox ||</strong></span></p>
<p>YAKIMA, Wash. &#8212; When Arianna Mohsenian played basketball at East Valley, a four-year, 1,000-point career that ended in 2008, there was someone in the crowd at every game who she wanted to impress.</p>
<p>Her coach, Robi Raab, for sure. Her supportive parents, naturally. And her teammates, no doubt.</p>
<p>But mostly it was her little sister, Yasi.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_54553" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 242px"><a href="http://sportsyakima.com/2012/02/basketball-sisterhood-of-the-undefeated/east-valley-v-wapato-28/" rel="attachment wp-att-54553"><img class="size-medium wp-image-54553" title="East Valley v. Wapato" src="http://sportsyakima.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/011412_AS_Mohsenian_FILE-232x300.jpg" alt="" width="232" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">East Valley&#39;s Yasi Mohsenian handles the ball against Wapato Saturday, Jan. 14, 2012. (Andy Sawyer/Yakima Herald-Republic)</p></div>
<p>“I wanted to be a role model for her,” she says without hesitation. “Yasi was the young one and always got dragged to my games, but it was great to have her there. I thought about her a lot. It helped me stay focused on doing the right thing.”</p>
<p>Arianna showed the way, Yasi eagerly followed.</p>
<p>And for sisters separated by four years who never got the chance to play on the same team, the Mohsenians are sharing an athletic symmetry that makes them seem like twins.</p>
<p>They are both senior guards with mirrored skills — lockdown defense, never-out-of-position footwork and 3-pointers just when the time is right. And neither has lost a game this season.</p>
<p>Arianna is in her second year as a full-time starter at George Fox University in Newberg, Ore., where the women’s basketball team is 20-0 and ranked third nationally in NCAA Division III.</p>
<p>Yasi, who entered East Valley the fall after her sister left, is now a senior on a 16-0 team that is the top-ranked Class 2A team in the state.</p>
<p>“We’ve been having so much fun keeping track of each other,” Yasi says. “We play on the same nights a lot and my parents bring an I-Pad to my games so they can watch both of us. We’re really close, we’ve always been that way.”</p>
<p>So close that Raab didn’t have to ask Yasi what jersey number she wanted as a freshman. It was Arianna’s No. 12.</p>
<p>So close that Yasi didn’t mind following her older sister into the same sports — soccer, basketball and track and field. She didn’t think or worry about the pressure of comparisons.</p>
<p>“I just wanted to follow in her footsteps,” Yasi says. “Growing up I always looked up to her and thought of her as a great player. So I didn’t expect myself to be as good as her.”</p>
<p><div id="attachment_54554" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 208px"><a href="http://sportsyakima.com/2012/02/basketball-sisterhood-of-the-undefeated/ariana-mohsenian/" rel="attachment wp-att-54554"><img class="size-medium wp-image-54554" title="Ariana Mohsenian" src="http://sportsyakima.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/0203-Mohsenian-198x300.jpg" alt="" width="198" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Arianna Mohsenian (21) has helped lead George Fox University to an undeated record and No. 3 national ranking in NCAA Division III. (Photo courtesy of George Fox University)</p></div>
<p>Yasi has done just fine.</p>
<p>In 2011, the younger Mohsenian was a first-team CWAC basketball pick as a junior, she qualified for state in the 1,600- and 3,200-meter distance races in the spring and was named the CWAC’s offensive player of the year in soccer last fall.</p>
<p>This season she’s bumped her team-leading scoring average to 13.1 points with four conference games remaining.</p>
<p>“We’ve been shooting really well, and our defense has been great,” she says. “But we’re not satisfied with anything. We know we can get better in every aspect of the game.”</p>
<p>Meanwhile, at George Fox, Arianna is a senior leader enjoying the rewards of four years of unwavering hard work. She typically defends the opponents’ point guard and ranks second on the team in 3-pointers and assists.</p>
<p>The Bruins won the D–III national title in Arianna’s freshman year and reached the quarterfinals in each of the last two seasons.</p>
<p>“When you come up through high school defending awesome players like Kayla Standish and Claire Raap, that’s great experience,” Arianna says. “It’s been a real growing experience for me here and I’ve loved it. Just like Yasi and her team, we’re excited to see how far we can go.”</p>
<p>Arianna does wish she could have had at least one year with her sister at East Valley, but acknowledges the benefit of having no overlap.</p>
<p>“That would’ve been so cool because we did the same three sports,” says Arianna, who will graduate in April with a degree in elementary education. “But maybe it was best for her to be on her own. I did get to coach her some on summer teams and that was fun.”</p>
<p>Coaching also came in the form of a warning about trying to live up to somebody else’s standards.</p>
<p>“It wasn’t really deep or anything, but we definitely had some talks about Yasi being her own person,” Arianna says. “I had some concerns that coaches would expect the same things from her and compare us too much. But I think she has totally rocked on her own.”</p>
<p>Good words, but Yasi did want to live up to her sister’s standards. She loved the idea.</p>
<p>“I wanted to be like her because I admired so much about her,” Yasi says. “She was my perfect role model in everything.”</p>

<p>YAKIMA, Wash. &#8212; Trishi Williams, a junior from Mabton on the Western Washington women’s basketball team, has scored in double figures during the Vikings’ last five games including a 20-point, eight-rebound, five-assist outing last month in an 85-71 win at Central Washington.</p>
<p>The 5-foot-9 Williams has played in all 19 games while starting nine for the Vikings (8-3 GNAC, 14-5 overall), who list only one senior on their roster. She’s averaging 10 points, third-highest on the squad, shooting a team-best .576 from the field, and is Western’s top rebounder at 7.3 per game.</p>
<p><strong>KINZI POTEET</strong> (Grandview), a junior on the Boise State women’s basketball team, has been a bright spot in two of the Broncos’ recent losses. She had a team-high seven rebounds in a defeat at the hands of Wyoming and scored seven points and grabbed seven boards in a loss to UNLV.</p>
<p>For the season, Poteet is averaging 6.2 points and 6.6 rebounds, the latter figure ranking second on the team. The Broncos are 11-11.</p>
<p><strong>MATT BORTON</strong> (West Valley), a redshirt freshman on the Idaho men’s basketball team, ranks third on the Vandals in field goal shooting at .453 and is also third in 3-point shooting percentage at .375.</p>
<p>Borton has played in 19 of Idaho’s 21 games, averaging 3.7 points and 2.9 rebounds in 14 minutes of playing time. The Vandals are 11-10.</p>
<p><strong>JASMINE STOHR</strong> (La Salle), a senior at Lewis-Clark State College, has been sidelined by a knee injury suffered last month and will miss the rest of the regular season. Stohr had been leading the NAIA Frontier League with a 19.9-point scoring average. Eighth-ranked LCS (19-3) is hopeful Stohr can recover from the sprain in time for the postseason.</p>
<p><strong>DANA WELLS (</strong>Riverside Christian), a junior at Washington State, won the 200-meter dash in a career-best 22.28 seconds in a five-team indoor track meet Saturday in Pullman. Teammate <strong>BRETT BLANSHAN</strong> (Selah) was second in the 200 (22.35) and second in the 60.</p>
