SHYANN FARBES
School: Eaglecrest High School
Year: Junior
Height: 5-foot-7
2022-23 averages: 7.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.1 steals, 1.8 assists
Season highlights: Farbes got good varsity experience as a sophomore and she took on an even larger role for coach Robby Gabrielli’s team as a junior, when she helped Eaglecrest improved from 12 wins in 2022 to 15 in 2023, which came with the program’s first trip to the Sweet 16 since 2006. Farbes upped her scoring average by more than a point from last season and part of it was due to her outside shooting as she finished second on the team in 3-pointers and just one behind leader Nia McKenzie. She scored in double figures eight times — including a season-high 17 points against Brighton Dec. 15 — and had one double-double (a 12-point, 10-rebound outing vs. Prairie View Dec. 6) and had three or more steals in a game nine times as part of the Raptors’ opportunistic defense. Farbes is a first-time A-Town All-Star Game participant.
Farbes vs. Aurora teams: vs. Vista PEAK (13 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals); vs. Rangeview (2 points, 5 rebounds); vs. Overland (9 points, 4 steals); vs. Cherokee Trail (5 points, 7 rebounds); vs. Smoky Hill (11 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals); vs. Grandview (9 points); vs. Cherokee Trail (5 points, 5 rebounds); vs. Overland (11 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists); vs. Rangeview (7 points, 4 rebounds)
