Emilee Skinner ended Ridgeline career with third straight title

Emilee Skinner ended her high school career with a third straight 4A state title for Ridgeline despite battling the flu and playing the final with less than 50% energy. The five-star athlete has scored 2,313 career points (4th all-time in Utah), adding 807 rebounds, 417 assists, 382 steals and 166 3-pointers. Ridgeline maintained a record of 102-4 during her four years, with two undefeated seasons.

Ridgeline won by an average of 28.6 points during Skinner’s four years. The team went 4-0 at the Nike TOC thanks to Skinner scoring a go-ahead basket that contributed to a 53-52 semifinal win. Ridgeline finished the 2024–25 season with a 28-0 record.

“She doesn’t just take her athleticism and skill for granted — the girl works and works and works,” Ridgeline coach Ainsli Jenks said.

Skinner is a two-time Deseret News Ms. Basketball. She will now play for Duke under coach Kara Lawson with dreams of reaching the WNBA.
