Renton girls basketball standout Taylor Farris this week signed her letter of intent to attend the University of California Santa Barbara next year.

According to her coach, Tim White, Farris is the first Renton High School girls basketball player to commit to a full scholarship at a major NCAA Division I university in at least the past 26 years.

As a junior, Farris last season led the Indians to their first-ever state tournament and was named the Seamount League girls basketball player of the year and named to the all-league first team.

A starter since she was a freshman and a team captain since her sophomore year, Farris shot for 51 percent from the field in her high school career so far. She has also averaged 15.4 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.9 steals, and 5.8 blocks per game in high school career.

However, she is coming off a junior season when she put up 23 points and dished at 5.1 assists per game.

“The scouting report will read ‘she plays at the rim,'” UCSB Head Coach Carlene Mitchell said in a press release. “She is one of the best passers UCSB has seen when attacking the paint and in transition. Her length leads to countless deflections.”
