Monte Vista comes to the sideline on Friday night following its win.
MONTE VISTA 57, EL CAJON VALLEY 51 – LEANNA WATSON scored a season-high 45 points for El Cajon Valley and hauled down 8 rebounds, made 8 steals and dealt 2 assists. She was 12 for 24 from the field and nailed 4 treys.
But it wasn’t enough as Monte Vista prevailed in the final regular season contest of the Grossmont Valley League.
“We were right there, down just 3 points,” emphasized Braves coach CARLOS MOSS. “We kicked it out to the 3-point line and the ball slipped right through our player’s hands. Then we had to foul.
“Little things like that just killed us. Leanna Watson was really upset. She went 22 for 30 at the free throw line. In my view Leanna should be the MVP of the league.”
Monte Vista’s usual trio of stars were able to outpace Watson, as Elayna Medrano had 20 points, Taylor Young had 15 points and Sara Taha added 10 points.
The victory was key for the Monarchs’ playoff chances, but may have proved detrimental to the Braves’ hopes.
Monte Vista: No report.
