Sister of Seattle’s star has star power of her own

It’s no surprise Anna Wilson is having a sensational senior year in high school playing basketball.
The surprise is that she’s playing on America’s West Coast instead of in Richmond’s West End.
After four years — eighth through 11th grades — as the starting point guard for The Collegiate School, the sister of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is suiting up for the Bellevue High School Wolverines in Bellevue, Wash.
Bellevue is a Seattle suburb directly across Lake Washington.
With the 5-foot-7 Wilson averaging 17 points, five rebounds and four assists per game, the Wolverines have started the season with a 9-0 record.
On Dec. 9, in a 104-56 win over Juanita High School in Kirkland, Wash., Bellevue’s cheering section included the star quarterback and his girlfriend, singer-model Ciara, there to support the yonger Wilson.
Wilson was an All-State performer last year for Collegiate and a member of the 2014 USA U-17 team. She has signed to play college basketball at Stanford University.
