A 5-foot-9 guard, Fountain has been a member of four
of the Matadors undefeated league championship
teams. The only other Mount Miguel player to achieve
that status was GENEVIEVE COSTELLO (2002-05).
Ranked No. 2 in the most recognized San Diego CIF poll,
Mount Miguel (25-2, 8-0 GVL) is all but assured to be
the No. 1 seed in the Division III. The Matadors will
find out at 4:30 on Saturday (Feb. 20) when the girls
pairings are announced.
Meanwhile West Hills (20-6) celebrated its third straight
league championship by winning the Grossmont Hills League
title with a 9-1 mark.
WEST HILLS 49, GROSSMONT 26 Wolf Pack
coach RYAN KINSER had to be a little bit stunned when
the visiting Foothillers took a 7-0 lead and a 13-6
first quarter advantage in Fridays (Feb. 19) Grossmont
Hills League finale in Santee.
Had West Hills stumbled, the Wolf Pack would have been
forced to share the Grossmont Hills League title with
Granite Hills. But the Pack regrouped, taking an 18-16
halftime lead.
In the 2nd half it was all West Hills, starting with
an 18-3 third quarter scoring burst.
SHERIKA MILLER was the leader, hitting 8 of 13 shots
from the field including the Packs only 3-pointer
to finish with 17 points.
Its a rare day when West Hills (20-6, 9-1 GHL)
has only one trey.
So the Pack had to rely on other sources to clinch
the league championship.
We posted Sherika down low and were able to take
advantage of (Grossmonts) post defenders,
Kinser said. She played an outstanding game.
Grossmont (12-14, 6-4 GHL) scored only six points in
the middle two quarters.
Defensively our game was there tonight,
said Kinser. The energy and effort were there
all night, but our shooting was way off.
SANTANA 46, EL CAPITAN 40 ALYSSA PADBERG
and MARGIE PANKNIN each connected on one-and-one free
throw situations in the final two minutes as the visiting
Sultans protected a 42-40 lead to earn Friday (Feb.
19) nights Grossmont Valley League victory.
Padberg paced the Sultans (9-18, 5-3 GVL) with 13 points,
8 assists and 2 steals. Panknin added 10 points, 2 assists
and 2 steals.
Santanas HALEY BURTON was the leading rebounder
in the game, collecting 11 caroms and also blocked two
shots.
ERICA ARIE paced El Capitan (10-17, 1-7 GVL) with 12
points, 7 rebounds and 3 steals.
Senior AMBER REL-SOLIA chipped in with 10 rebounds,
5 blocks and 8 points.
GRANITE HILLS 62, HELIX 27 SABRINA JIMENEZ
celebrated Granite Hills Senior Night in a big
way, knocking down 23 points while corralling 10 rebounds
as the Eagles hammered the visiting Highlanders in Fridays
(Feb. 19) Grossmont Hills League finale.
Jimenez, East County s scoring leader, netted
four 3-pointers while dishing 4 assists and making 3
steals.
Senior SAMANTHA SILVA also celebrated one of her best
games of the year, swishing 3 triples and finishing
with 11 points.
The Eagles led 31-7 at halftime and 55-17 by the close
of the 3rd quarter. Jimenez hit 8 of 10 shots from the
floor. As a team they shot better than 60 percent from
the field, including 10 three-pointers.
I was happy for our seniors to go out with a
win, said Eagles coach JERRY PARKER.
KRISTINA SCOTT finished with 13 points to lead the
Highlanders (9-15, 2-8 GHL).
I thought our girls came out tonight with no
emotion, said Helix coach ANDY MERIDETH. Granite
Hills had too much for us tonight. Im proud of
these girls as a whole. Theyve been through a
lot this year.
Helix: Kristina Scott 13 (2 reb, 2 ast, 1 stl), Kim
Scott 8 (1 reb, 1 ast), Jacqueline Smith 2 (4 reb, 2
ast), Faith Leaupepe-Tele 2 (4 reb), Iesha Murray 2
(3 reb), Jasmine Hunn (6 reb), Dana Hosley (2 reb).
STEELE CANYON 52, VALHALLA 38 JANVIER
BARBARIN muscled in 10 of 22 shots from the field and
7 of 12 free throws for a season high 27 points to steer
Steele Canyon (12-14, 5-5 GHL) to a Grossmont Hills
League victory over visiting Valhalla.
Barbarin added 9 rebounds, made 3 steals and blocked
4 shots for the Cougars.
JV (Barbarin) took Senior Night to heart
she played a real good all-around game, said Cougars
assistant coach RODNEY VAN. She played good defense
all night.
Valhalla (5-21, 0-10 GHL) led 21-20 at the half before
the Cougars unleashed a 23-8 scoring barrage in the
3rd quarter to take control of the game.
We decided to feed JV in the 2nd half and it
worked, Van added. She had 12 points in
the 3rd quarter.
For Valhalla, DANIELLE WILSON collected a game high
13 rebounds and teammate KARISSA FERRELL grabbed 10
boards.
MOUNT MIGUEL 90, EL CAJON VALLEY 14 The
Matadors outscored the visiting Braves 61-4 in the middle
two quarters, including 31-0 in the 2nd period of Friday
(Feb. 19) nights Grossmont Valley League encounter.
The Matadors NICOLE FOUNTAIN landed 5 three-pointers
on her way to a game-high 19 points and 7 steals.
YVONTE NEAL added 18 points, including 5 steals and
5 assists for the Matadors.
MYISHIA WATKINS drilled in a trio of triples, contributing
17 points, 4 more than SHAY YOUNG.
El Cajon Valley: Kaylani Faten 8, Hazel Doe 4, Chelsea
Ball 2.
CRAWFORD 44, CHRISTIAN 18 The youthful
Patriots were shutout in the 2nd quarter and held to
2 points in the 3rd period in Friday (Feb. 19) nights
regular season Central League finale at the Ryan Athletic
Center.
Their press hurt us in the 1st quarter,
noted Christian coach THOMAS LOWERY. We had too
many turnovers. We have some good young players on this
team. Im already looking forward to next season.

The victory clinched the Monarchs' best league finish
since the 2001-02 season, when they tied for second
place with Granite Hills in the old Grossmont South
League.
This was a resumed game from Tuesday (Feb. 9) when
the game was stopped due to a wet floor caused by a
leak in the roof at El Cajon Valley. The teams played
4 minutes on that rainy night and the Monarchs led 5-4
when play was suspended. The game was picked up nine
days later from that point.
I felt this was a game that neither team wanted
to play, said Monte Vista coach MICHAEL SKIBBE.
(HAZEL) DOE played well for El Cajon Valley, as
she always does.
Monte Vista: Deanna Bembry 19, Shamonique Boyd 16,
Shantee Woods 2, Tasha Brown 2, Jessica Garcia 1.
For Christian, at least on paper, it was just the second
Central League victory of the season, but the total
is misleading according to the players.
"We're playing tough defense and playing aggressive
we're coming back," said guard MIA JOHNSON,
one of a large contingent of sophomores dotting the
Patriots roster. "And we're pressuring to create
turnovers."
The first Madison run to close the first half did produce
a short-lived lead, but the Patriots prevented a repeat
occurrence to close the second half in protecting their
lead. And both times, ALESIA LOWERY was the difference
for Christian (2-9, 2-9 CTL).
After the Warhawks overcame an 8-point deficit to grab
a 16-15 lead, Lowery closed the opening half by draining
a mid-range jumper to re-claim the advantage with 46
seconds left, then swished a 3-point shot at the buzzer
to secure a 20-16 margin.
"Our tempo started out well, but Madison brought
the beat up to us," said Lowery. "It was stressful
at that point, so I did whatever I could for my team."
Lowery finished with a game-high 15 points, and was
aided by the Patriots forwards to prevent Madison from
a repeat of its comeback effort.
RICKI GENTRY registered 12 of her season-high 18 rebounds
in the second half, while MARY GRABOWSKI added 12 boards
and blocked a pair of Warhawks shots.
"Ally (Lowery) is a big part of our wins,"
noted Grabowski. "And Ricki and I just worked hard
we did not let them take the game from us."
Quick starts in each quarter also aided the Pats, who
jumped out to a 9-2 lead on Madison in the first period,
then opened the next three periods with scoring runs
of 4-2, 4-1 and 4-0 each small yet decisive intervals
to produce the triumph and forced Madison to play catch-up
throughout the afternoon.
Johnson also slowed Madison by recording three of her
four steals in the opening moments of the third period,
allowing Christian to gain its biggest advantage at
31-22.
Christian: Alesia Lowrey 15 (5 stl, 4 ast), Monique
Elliott 8 (4 reb, 2 stl), Ricki Gentry 6 (18 reb, 2
ast), Mia Johnson 4 (4 stl, 4 reb), Makala Bailey 2
(3 reb), Mary Grabowski (12 reb, 2 blk).
GRANITE HILLS 41, STEELE CANYON 39 No.
9 ranked Granite Hills pulled a narrow escape in Wednesdays
(Feb. 17) makeup Grossmont Hills League game in Rancho
San Diego.
JESSICA HARRIS took a pass from SKYLAR WILLIAMS to
give the visiting Eagles (22-6, 7-2 GHL) a 40-39 lead
with 53 seconds remaining.
Steele Canyon (11-14, 4-5 GHL) missed several chances
to overtake Granite Hills in the final seconds. Three
different Cougars went to the free throw line
at the 22.5, the 15 and the 12 second mark and
all failed to connect.
With 5.5 seconds remaining Steele Canyon missed another
opportunity to take the lead when senior JANVIER BARBARIN
took an inbound pass and drove the lane for a layup
that rolled off the rim.
It was one of only three shots that Barbarin missed
as she converted 9 of 12 attempts for a game high 19
points.
Granite Hills SABRINA JIMENEZ secured the rebound
after Barbarins key miss and was fouled. Jimenez
made the first free throw and intentionally missed the
second, allowing time to expire as the Cougars, with
no timeouts remaining, scrambled for the rebound. They
were unable to launch a desperation shot.
Williams paced the Eagles with 13 points and 6 rebounds
and Jimenez added 12 points and 7 rebounds.
Barbarin added 9 rebounds and 7 blocks to her totals.
These games get so tense and emotional,
observed Cougars assistant coach RODNEY VAN. The
girls were really tired.

It felt very nice and invigorating to get a win,
said Braves senior forward KAYLANI FATEN. We are
so happy. Our defense was really good. Its been
an education so far this season. Ive learned a
lot.
Faten finished with a team high 11 points. HAZEL DOE
pitched in with 10 points.
We led them all game, said Braves coach
CARLOS MOSS. I told them before the game weve
only got three games left and El Cajon Valley hasnt
won a league game in a long time. It takes a lot of
character to keep working hard when we havent
been winning.
The Braves led 22-16 at intermission.
At halftime they were all happy and I told them
theres a lot of game left, Moss said In
the 4th quarter we tried to stay poised.
Our three seniors HAZEL DOE, Kaylani Faten
and TERIKA WILLIAMS came out and played hard.
It was nice for us and for the school to get this win.
The victory was long reaching for El Cajon Valley (4-19,
1-GVL).
I graduated from El Cajon Valley in 1982,
Moss said. I was the captain of the boys basketball
team under coach (now athletic director) RANDY ROBINSON,
and after joining the service, returned to be Randys
assistant coach for the girls team from 1993-94. We
were pretty good, we won some league games that year.
None of those wins was any sweeter than the latest
conquest.
El Cajon Valley: Kaylani Faten 11, Hazel Doe 10, Terika
Williams 9, Natasha Fernandez 5, Chelsea Ball 2.
WEST HILLS 54, VALHALLA 28 The Wolf Pack
clinched at least a tie for the Grossmont Hills League
championship by clipping visiting Valhalla on Tuesday
(Feb. 16).
After taking a 12-3 first quarter lead, West Hills
(19-6, 8-1 GHL) continued on to outscore the Norsemen
across the board.
Wolf Pack senior SHERIKA MILLER scored her 1,000th
point on the first basket of the game. The game was
stopped to recognize her accomplishment. This brings
the number of girls on the team who have reached the
1,000 point milestone to three, the others being KIMBERLY
CLARK and MARILYN NADERHOFF.
We started off well with an 11-0 lead,
said West Hills coach RYAN KINSER. The bench got
a lot of minutes but did not play very well. The seniors
played very well tonight and our defense was super all
night.
DANIELLE WILSON led Valhalla (5-20, 0-9 GHL) with a
double-double for 13 points and 13 rebounds.
Id like to see West Hills go all the way,
said Valhalla coach VALLI LOPEZ. I love to watch
(Wolf Pack point guard) Marilyn Naderhoff play. Shes
got something special that doesnt come through
often. I wish them the best in CIF.
GRANITE HILLS 45, GROSSMONT 30 The 9th-ranked
Eagles of Granite Hills were anxious to get another
shot at Grossmont after falling in the first round meeting
51-49.
They made that clear in the 1st quarter on Tuesday
(Feb. 16) as they took an 11-1 lead in Grossmont Hills
League action against the visiting Foothillers (12-13,
6-3 GHL).
Although this appeared to be an easy victory for the
Eagles, Granite Hills coach JERRY PARKER didnt
see it that way.
We were in foul trouble in the 2nd quarter,
he said. I had to sit SKYLAR WILLIAMS, KEJI KUBARI
and HAILEY GARNER for most of the 2nd and 3rd quarters.
Fortunately for the Eagles SABRINA JIMENEZ, East County
s leading scorer, produced 19 points, 6 rebounds,
5 assists and 3 steals to fill in the void.
Sophomore JESSICA HARRIS knocked down a trio of treys
on her way to a 15-point game for Granite Hills.
We have got to do a better job of rebounding,
Parker said. We corrected some mistakes we made
the last time we played them.
Sophomore KAYLA KEMP bounced off the bench for 5 points
and that impressed Parker.
She does a lot of good things but Im having
a hard time trying to find minutes for her, Parker
said. She had a good opportunity in this game
and made the most of it.
Grossmont coach MEGAN LONG was frustrated because her
team could never find any offensive power.
It was 11-1 after the 1st quarter, but our defense
was not to blame it kept us in the game,
Long said. If we come out shooting well we can
compete with anybody. Unfortunately we did not tonight.
Granite Hills really played well. They moved the ball
well and had good shots. We looked tired at times.
STEELE CANYON 29, HELIX 25 Some might
call this a defensive battle. Those closer to Tuesdays
(Feb. 16) Grossmont Hills League matchup might say it
was poor offense.
Although host Steele Canyon (11-13, 4-4 GHL) reached
double digits only once in the four quarters this had
to be a key victory.
Steele Canyon senior JANVIER BARBARIN scored 6 of her
game-high 10 points in the 4th quarter and finished
with a double-double that included 11 rebounds.
Youre not going to win many games when
you score only four points in the 1st half, said
Highlanders coach ANDY MERIDETH, whose team trailed
9-4 at intermission. If you can play good defense
as a team youll have a better chance to win. Im
actually pleased with our defensive effort.
Helix: Kristina Scott 9 (2 reb, 2 stl), Kim Scott 8
(2 reb, 2 ast, 2 stl), Jacqueline Smith 4 (7 reb, 4
blk, 1 stl), Jasmine Hunn 2 (8 reb, 3 stl), Leaupepe-Tele
1 (1 reb, 1 ast, 1 stl), Iesha Murray (1 reb, 2 blk),
Dana Hosley (1 blk).
MONTE VISTA 67, SANTANA 51 Junior DEANNA
BEMBRY rolled off a double-double of 16 points and 13
rebounds as host Monte Vista slapped the Sultans in
Tuesdays (Feb. 16) Grossmont Valley League action.
Bembry hit 7 of 11 from the floor and hit 2 free throws
while adding 5 assists and 5 steals to her totals.
Im happy with the way we played tonight,
said Monarchs coach MICHAEL SKIBBE. I still think
we can get a home game in the playoffs.
The Monarchs avenged a first-round loss to the Sultans.
We corrected some of the flaws in our last game
with Santana, Skibbe said.
SHAMONIQUE BOYD added 16 points and 9 rebounds for
the Monarchs, while ALEX ROSS pitched in 11 points.
Ross included three 3s in her totals.
Santana senior guard ALYSSA PADBERG scored a career
high 21 points to pace the Sultans (8-18, 4-3 GVL).
KIM GROSS pitched in 12 points and hauled down 8 rebounds
for the Sultans.
DEANNA BEMBRY, who connected on 8 of 12 shots from
the field, was the anchor for Monte Vista (13-11, 3-3
GVL) in a 47-42 victory for the Monarchs.
With 16 seconds remaining in the 2nd overtime, El Capitans
MARISSA PITMAN stole the ball and made a layup to cut
the Vaqueros deficit to 3 points (45-42).
With 7 seconds left in the game Monte Vistas
SHANTEE WOODS added 2 free throws.
We have been working our bench a lot lately,
said Monarchs coach MICHAEL SKIBBE. Today they
finally paid off for us. At the end of the game the
only starter left on the floor was ALEX ROSS.
TASHA BROWN was a beast tonight, Skibbe
added. She pulled down 8 offensive rebounds of
her 14 total rebounds. We played a strong defensive
game as well. Our learning curve got a whole lot stronger
this year.
Monte Vista beat El Capitan twice this year
once on a basket at the buzzer and now in the double
overtime.
AMBER REL-SOLIA led El Capitan with 20 points and 10
rebounds. Pitman contributed 10 rebounds for the Vaqueros.

GRANITE HILLS 60, VALHALLA 38 The visiting
Eagles sprinted to a 21-9 first-quarter advantage and
never lost the lead as they defeated the Norsemen in Fridays
(Feb. 12) Grossmont Hills League contest.

for the Eagles (20-6, 5-2 GHL) with 23 points. She nailed
4 threes, ditched 7 assists and made 5 steals.
The Eagles JESSICA HARRIS pitched in with 14
points, including a trio of treys.
In the eyes of first-year coach VALLI LOPEZ, the Norsemen
made an improvement over the 70-29 loss to Granite Hills
in the 1st round game.
We got within five points in the third quarter
but we just ran out of gas, said Lopez. This
is the best game weve been in in a long time.
Im proud of the way we played against Granite
Hills tonight.
TENISHA LEE had a double-double of 11 points and 25
rebounds for Valhalla, while MACKENZIE CARTMILL landed
a trio of 3-pointers for 11 points.
Not to be overlooked was the 13 rebounds by Valhallas

MOUNT MIGUEL 58, SANTANA 10 The No. 2 ranked
Matadors once again made it look easy as they clinched
their 10th straight league title by destroying the Sultans
in Fridays (Feb. 12) Grossmont Valley League game
in Spring Valley.
Mount Miguel (24-2, 7-0 GVL) has compiled a 92-1 league
record over the past decade.
The Matadors took a 20-0 lead over the Sultans in the
opening period and continued to abuse the Santee bunch
until the final buzzer.
In games like this the goal is to not have anybody
get injured, said Mount Miguel coach ROBBIE SANDOVAL.
Santana senior KIM GROSS, who scored only one point
in the battering, said, Its hard to play
in a game like this. All we can do is work on the goals
we have against a top team. We were not very successful
in what we wanted to do.
The game was conducted with a running clock in the
second half, which did not allow Mount Miguel to score
its season average.
Mount Miguel: Yvonte Neal 14, Nicole Fountain 13,
Shay Young 10, Shataera Anderson 6, Danielle Miller

WEST HILLS 64, STEELE CANYON 39 KIMBERLY
CLARK landed 6 three-pointers for a game-high 18 points
as visiting West Hills smashed Steele Canyon in a Grossmont
Hills League contest on Friday (Feb. 12).
Offensively we did a good job tonight shooting
the 3-ball, said Wolf Pack coach RYAN KINSER.
After the 1st quarter our defense dug in and did
a better job. We shut down their post game. We seem
to be coming around on offense.
MARILYN NADERHOFF added 12 points and 9 assists for
the Pack (18-6, 7-1 GHL), which stormed to a 38-23 halftime
lead.
It was a good defensive battle early on,
said Cougars assistant coach RODNEY VAN. JV (Barbarin)
kept us in the ballgame. West Hills hit 5 threes in
the 2nd quarter that put us behind the 8-ball. We made
a short run on them in the 3rd quarter. TINA MERLINO
had 6 of her 12 points in that quarter. We just did
not have an answer for their 3-point shooting.
GROSSMONT 52, HELIX 27 DANIELLE BALDERAS
scored a season high 21 points and JESSIE EDGIL pitched
in 10 points as the Foothillers flattened visiting Helix
in Friday (Feb. 12) nights Grossmont Hills League
game.
Danielle Balderas was involved in everything
we did tonight, every aspect of the game, said
Foothillers coach MEGAN LONG. Shes been
that way all season.
We were able to solve their game plan,
added Long. We stopped their transition game cold.
We hit our 3s we had three 3s in the 2nd quarter
and that opened up the game.
Balderas hit 3 of 7 shots from long distance and also
had 4 steals.
Grossmont led 29-11 at halftime.
KIMBERLY SCOTT led the Highlanders (9-13, 2-6 GHL)
with 11 points.
Grossmonts coach did an amazing job getting
her team ready to play tonight, said Helix coach
ANDY MERIDETH. We didnt play with any intensity.
Im disappointed in that we werent ready
to play.
We were completely out of synch, added
WILLIE HATHAWAY, the Highlanders assistant coach.
We didnt show up tonight with any energy
at all.

CORONADO 39, CHRISTIAN 18 The Patriots
posted their third-best defensive effort of the season
on Friday (Feb. 12), holding the Islanders under 40
points for the second time this season. However, a lack
of offensive production led to another setback in Central
League action at the Blumenthal Athletics Complex.
Coronado pulled away by scoring the first nine points
of the second half to expand upon a 23-8 intermission
lead. Alex Evans paced the Wahines with 11 points, while
Peri Curtis and Nicolet Abrantes chipped in 10 each.

Helix coach TRINA (HANSEN) MERIDETH, who has been head
coach of the Highlanders for six years, resigned for
personal and health reasons.
Her husband ANDY MERIDETH, a long-time assistant in
boys basketball under veteran coach JOHN SINGER, has
picked up the reins for the Helix girls.
Ive had just 45 minutes of practice with
the team yesterday, but I coached most of these
girls with the JV team a couple of years ago,
said Andy Merideth. So I was familiar with them
and they were familiar with what I liked for them to
do. Im proud of the way they responded tonight.
I thought our girls played well.
Helix (9-12, 2-5 GHL) suffered its sixth loss in seven
games, but theres no panic on the Highlanders
sidelines. Right now their goal is to make the SDCIF
Division II playoffs.
We were happy with the way we competed tonight,
added long-time girls assistant coach WILLIE HATHAWAY.
We played them about as tough as we could. Unfortunately
we didnt get much help out of our post players
tonight.
KIMBERLY CLARKs 18 points led West Hills (17-6,
6-1 GHL), which is in the drivers seat to capture
the Grossmont Hills League championship with three games
remaining in the regular season.
Defensively we were pretty good tonight,
said Wolf Pack coach RYAN KINSER. We got off to
a slow start on offense, but we were able to turn it
around in the 2nd half. We shot much better in the last
two quarters.
KIM SCOTT led Helix with 12 points half of them
coming on 3-pointers.
Her sister KRISTINA SCOTT also hit a pair of treys
and finished with 11 points.
They surprised us with their man defense tonight,
Kinser added. We were expecting them to zone us and
press us like the last time we played them. We got some
good contributions from our bench tonight. Our bench
was key to our overall game performance.

LONG.
TEYSHONNIA BEALER-WEST (11 points, 7 rebounds) led
Grossmont (11-12, 5-2 GHL), which is only one game behind
West Hills in the Grossmont Hills League race.

on the strength of a 13-9 third quarter rush.
The bench played well in the second half,
said Long. They are adjusting well to what we
want to do, especially on defense.
TENISHA LEE led Valhalla with a game high 13 points,
while MACKENZIE CARTMILL chipped in with 11 points,
including a trio of treys.

MOUNT MIGUEL 83, EL CAPITAN 18 Grossmont
Valley League games involving Mount Miguel are usually
not much fun for the opposition. The Matadors (23-2,
6-0 GVL) proved that once again on Tuesday (Feb. 9)
as the bolted to a 29-5 first quarter lead over El Capitan.
We took the press off after the 1st quarter,
said Mount Miguel coach ROBBIE SANDOVAL.
DANIELLE MILLER scored 10 of her 14 points in the opening
period, while YVONTE NEAL and MYISHIA WATKINS scored
7 points apiece in the first eight minutes.
Watkins equaled her season high with 19 points, which
included hitting 3 treys. Miller registered 10 of the
Matadors 37 steals.
All nine Matadors contributed to Mount Miguel s
scoring totals.
Were just playing to get ready for the
( San Diego ) CIF playoffs, Sandoval said. Its
a matter of testing ourselves every time we come out
on the floor no matter who were playing.
Nobody reached double digits for El Capitan (10-14,
1-4 GVL).
KEARNY 54, CHRISTIAN 26 For the first
half of Tuesdays (Feb. 9) Central League contest
between the visiting Patriots and Kearny, it was a relatively
close game as the Komets led 26-16 at intermission.
This was the best defense we have played in awhile,
said Patriots coach THOMAS LOWERY. We are really
growing as a team.
The Komets turned the game into a blowout in the 3rd
quarter with an 18-2 scoring run.
They came out in the 2nd half and made some adjustments,
said coach Lowery. Their bigs went to work on
us.
Christian: Monique Elliott 10, Alesia Lowery 8, Ricki
Gentry 4, Makala Bailey 2, Mary Grabowski 2.
GRANITE HILLS at STEELE CANYON This game
last only four minutes as the visiting Granite Hills
took a 6-0 lead before one of their players took a hard
fall due to a puddle of water on the floor in Tuesdays
(Feb. 9) Grossmont Hills League game.
Play was stopped at that juncture as the teams waited
for the rain to subside. That didnt happen, thus
the game was postponed. A make-up date was tentatively
set for Wednesday (Feb. 11) in the Cougars gym at 6
p.m.
MONTE VISTA at EL CAJON VALLEY For the
second time this seaso,n host El Cajon Valley was rained
out due to a leak in the roof of the Braves gymnasium.
This Grossmont Valley League game has been rescheduled
for Thursday (Feb. 18) at 5 p.m.

The No. 2-ranked Matadors (22-2) rolled past Scripps
Ranch, 65-22, in Saturdays (Feb. 7) Coaches vs.
Cancer Showcase at The Bishops.
This was a game for a good cause, said
Mount Miguel coach ROBBIE SANDOVAL. It was an
honor to be chosen to play in this game.
Scripps Ranch eased out to a 4-0 lead before the Matadors
embarked on a 20-0 scoring binge to break the game open.
DANIELLE MILLER (14 points), YVONTE NEAL (13 points)
and MYISHIA WATKINS (12 points) paced a balanced attack
for the Matadors.
We generally try to share the scoring load. Its
not important who scores, but that the team scores,
Sandoval said. We were sharp on defense the entire
game. The girls did a good job taking Scripps Ranch
away from what they wanted to do. The girls were excited
to play in todays game. We had more energy today
than weve had in the past 2-3 weeks.
EL CAPITAN 44, HOOVER 23 Struggling El
Capitan made it two wins in a row Saturday (Feb. 6)
as they cut down the Cardinals in the Coaches vs. Cancer
Showcase at Bishops.
AMBER REL-SOLIA led the Vaqueros (10-13) with 13 points,
while MARISSA PITMAN broke out of a slump by nailing
down four 3-pointers in just eight shots.
It was good to see our offense show some life,
El Capitan coach FRANK QUINONES said. Marissa
came out of her funk, and thats a good sign. Weve
got to get ready for the stretch run in our (Grossmont
Valley) League and then the (Division III) playoffs.
Credit the Granite Hills Eagles for not allowing No.
8 ranked West Hills to wrap up the league championship
Friday (Feb. 5) night.
The Eagles (19-6, 4-2 GHL) made their intentions known
right off the bat, taking a 17-3 first quarter lead.
Our girls were pretty excited after that 1st
quarter, said Eagles coach JERRY PARKER. I
had to remind them who we were playing, that the game
was not over.
Freshman SKYLAR WILLIAMS hit back-to-back 3-pointers
and JESSICA HARRIS contributed 8 points, including a
pair of treys, to stake Granite Hills to the early lead
over the Wolf Pack (16-6, 5-1 GHL).
Granite Hills hit 10 three-pointers in the game compared
to just 2 for West Hills, which played a major part
in the Eagles 53-42 upset victory.
It was the first loss in nine games for West Hills,
while the Eagles posted their 5th victory in six games.
We did some good things to get shots, we just
couldnt put anything in, said Wolf Pack
coach RYAN KINSER. We really shot poorly.
For the record West Hills made 12 of 49 shots from
the field, which computes to 24.5 percent.
Harris finished with 17 points the majority
coming of 4 three pointers to lead the Eagles.
SABRINA JIMENEZ added 10 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists
for Granite Hills.
This was a big win for our girls because theyve
been playing club ball against most of the West Hills
girls since they were in the 5th grade, said Parker.
This was definitely one of our better games because
it was a complete game we played hard all the
way.
Nobody could accuse West Hills senior SHERIKA MILLER
of not playing hard as she churned out a double-double
of 11 points and 11 rebounds for the Wolf Pack.
West Hills point guard MARILYN NADERHOFF did not play
until there were 3 minutes left in the 2nd quarter due
to disciplinary reasons.
Parker noted that the Eagles seemed to rise to the
occasion when they play superior teams.
My girls seem to lose focus when they are not
playing one of the premier teams, he said. I
think theyd rather play all Top 10 teams. Even
so, I think weve played a pretty tough schedule
and beaten some pretty tough teams.
Granite Hills, which is tied with Grossmont for 2nd
place in the GHL, trails the Wolf Pack by one game in
the standings. The Eagles have four games remaining
to either win or grab a share of the league title.
HELIX 51, VALHALLA 42 The host Highlanders
snapped a 5-game losing streak as the SCOTT sisters
KIM and KRISTINA combined for 25 points,
including 5 three-pointers in Fridays (Feb. 5)
Grossmont Hills League matchup with Valhalla.
Not to be forgotten was the play of JACQUELINE SMITH,
who garnered a team best 13 rebounds to go along with
11 points and 2 blocks.
Helixs JASMINE HUNN captured 10 rebounds and
knocked down 4 of 6 shots from the floor on her way
to 9 points.
We had good post play from JASMINE HUNN and JACKIE
SMITH, said Highlanders coach TRINA MERIDETH.
Valhalla played good defense against us. We were
finally able to solve their defense in the 2nd half
and move into the gap for some good shots. This is the
best we have shot in a long time. Our post play has
really improved in the last couple of weeks.
The Highlanders shot 49 percent from the floor but
made only 10 of 23 free throws.
Helix was on fire tonight, said Valhalla
coach VALLI LOPEZ of the Highlanders, who led 27-19
at halftime.
TENISHA LEE led Valhalla with 17 points, 5 rebounds
and 3 steals.
Tenisha couldnt get any calls tonight,
said Lopez. I think our defense has come around
lately. We are starting to come of age. We havent
learned how to finish yet, but I see us getting better.
Helix: Kim Scott 15 (2 reb, 2 ast, 3 stl), Jacqueline
Smith 11 (13 reb, 2 blk), Kristina Scott 10 (1 ast),
Jasmine Hunn 9 (10 reb, 1 blk, 1 stl), Faith Leaupepe-Tele
2 (3 reb, 1 ast), Dana Hosley 2 (3 reb, 1 blk, 1 stl),
Jasmine Williams 2 (1 reb, 1 stl), Brittany Hollie (3
reb, 1 blk, 1 stl), Iesha Murray (1 stl).
STEELE CANYON 36, GROSSMONT 23 In the
same week the Grossmont Foothillers experienced a season
high and a season low. In fact it was back to back.
After knocking off 2nd place Granite Hills on Wednesday
(Feb. 3), the Foothillers fell on their collective faces
at Steele Canyon in Fridays (Feb. 5) Grossmont
Hills League encounter.
That is, the Hillers made only 9 baskets in 53 shots
17 percent as they scored 5 points or
fewer in the first three quarters. Grossmont (10-12,
4-2 GHL), which missed a chance to move into a tie for
first place, was 1 of 14 from three-point range.
On top of that, Grossmont registered no assists in
this game.
We came out flat and did not change the whole
game, Hillers coach MEGAN LONG said ruefully.
Our defense worked hard but our offense could
not keep up the pace.
Sophomore ASHLEY HARGROVE was a highlight tonight,
Long added. She came off the bench and played
her best game of the year overall.
Steele Canyon (10-12, 3-3 GHL) stormed to a 14-5 first
quarter lead and extended that advantage to 29-11 after
three quarters.
We came out on fire in the 1st quarter,
said Cougars assistant coach RODNEY VAN. ALI (MERLINO)
and SAMANTHA (VERNON) stepped up and played well in
the post. We were aggressive on defense tonight. We
took away what Grossmont wanted to do.
Things are starting to get exciting in Cougarland.
The girls are learning how good it feels to win. The
fans were going wild tonight.
SANTANA 43, EL CAJON VALLEY 21 The Sultans
bolted to a 17-2 first quarter lead and never looked
back as they dispatched visiting El Cajon Valley Friday
(Feb. 5) in a Grossmont Valley League game.
The star of the show on Senior Night at Santana was
senior DELIA FILES, who set a Santana record with 27
rebounds. She broke the mark of 22 set by JORDAN FRANEY,
who is now at UC Santa Barbara.
I was really happy for her, said Santana
coach MARK TIPTON. Somebody told me she had 18
at halftime and the record was 22, so I wasnt
going to deny her a chance to break the record. I think
maybe leaving a girl in there to break a record like
that when the game is out of hand is hardly running
up the score. Were talking about rebounds, not
baskets.
Files also shared game high scoring honors of 14 points
with HALEY BURTON.
Neither team shot particularly well El Cajon
Valley was 9 of 66 for 13.6 percent, while Santana was
17 of 46 for 37 percent.
El Cajon Valley: Natasha Fernandez 11 (6 reb, 2 stl),
Terika Williams 6 (2 reb, 2 ast), Hazel Doe 2 (6 reb,
3 ast, 6 stl), Chelsea Ball 2 (3 reb), Kaylani Faten
(6 reb, 1 ast, 5 stl, 1 blk), Miranda Mullens (3 reb,
1 stl), Sharde Williams (1 reb), Danielle Santana (1
reb).
POINT LOMA 41, CHRISTIAN 38 The improvement
demonstrated by the Patriots continues to show everywhere
except in the victory column after the visiting Pointers
escaped Ryan Athletic Center with Fridays (Feb.
5) narrow Central League victory.
Trailing by double-figures, Christian finally shut
down Point Loma guard Ashley Johnson, who scored all
of her game-high 18 points on 3-point shots, yet only
one after the intermission.
We picked it up on defense in the second half,
said Patriots coach THOMAS LOWERY. We were not
closing her out properly, so we went to a box-and-one
to get back into the game.
Meanwhile, the offense got into gear behind a team-best
14 points by ALYSSA LOWERY, while MIKAYLA BAILEY tallied
all of 7 points in the second half.
Christian gained an opportunity to tie the contest
with 16 seconds, but elected to try to fool Point Loma.
We were down by three, but we went for a two,
then go for the steal or foul since they werent
making their free throws, added the coach. But
we missed a layup and Point Loma got the rebound.
Christian: Alyssa Lowery 14, Monique Elliott 8, Amelia
Mia Johnson 7, Mikayla Bailey 7, Mary Grabowski
1.
MOUNT MIGUEL 80, MONTE VISTA 37 The visiting
Matadors built a 73-29 lead before the running clock
took over in the 4th quarter in Fridays (Feb.
5) Grossmont Valley League game at Monte Vista.
SHAY YOUNG was 8 for 8 from the free throw line as
she finished with a game high 20 points for the Matadors
(21-2, 5-0 GVL).
MYISHA WATKINS added 18 points and YVONTE NEAL tacked
on 15 for Mount Miguel.
I thought our defense was really good in the
2nd half, especially in the 3rd quarter. We let them
get too many easy buckets in the 2nd quarter,
said coach ROBBIE SANDOVAL, whos Matadors held
the Monarchs to 5 points in the 3rd quarter and 13 in
the 2nd half.
DEANNA BEMBRY led Monte Vista with 10 points, 10 rebounds
and 5 assists.
We did a lot of real good things tonight,
said Monarchs coach MICHAEL SKIBBE. We had a few
glitches that led to a few runs by Mount Miguel. Actually
Im pleased with the way we played tonight. We
didnt back down from them at all.
We are going to see them one more time this year
in the (Division III) playoffs, Skibbe
declared.
Mount Miguel: Shay Young 20, Myishia Watkins 18, Yvonte
Neal 15, Nicole Fountain 9, Danielle Miller 8, Shataera
Anderson 4, Dechae Evans 2,Charity Lyons 1.
Monte Vista: Deanna Bembry 10 (10 reb, 5 ast, 2 blk,
3 stl), Tasha Brown 9 (2 reb), Shamonique Boyd 7 (5
reb), Alex Ross 5, Kayla Pusey 3, Dionna Mercer 3.

The key basket for Grossmont (10-11, 4-1 GHL) was registered
by TEYSHONNIA BEALER-WEST with 1:30 remaining, extending
the Hillers lead to 51-45.
The Foothillers were trying to run out the clock when
they foolishly fouled East County scoring leader SABRINA
JIMENEZ, who made two free throws to cut the deficit
to 4.
Granite Hills put a full court press on us and
we got called for traveling with 45 seconds left,
said Grossmont coach MEGAN LONG.
With 13 seconds left we had the ball and Granite
Hills trapped us, Long noted. We fouled
Jimenez again. She made both free throws (making it
51-49).
The outcome came down to the final 10 seconds as Granite
Hills fouled DANIELLE DAHLE, who missed the front end
of a 1-and-1. Granite Hills got the rebound and called
timeout with 4 seconds remaining.
The Eagles brought the ball in at half court but were
unable to get off the final shot as they lost for the
first time in five games.
Bealer-West had an awesome game with 10 rebounds,
4 assists and 4 steals, said Long.
Bealer-West pulled down 10 rebounds for the Foothillers.
In the 3rd quarter DANIELLE BALDERAS racked up 8 of
her 17 points, including 2 threes for Grossmont.
CHLOE COOK also connected on a three in the 3rd quarter
for the Foothillers.
Lately Chloe is hitting crucial 3s at the right
time, said Long. We held them to 8 points
in the 3rd quarter. We played pretty good defense.
FRANKIE TREADWELL (11 points) hit some timely
shots. She handled the press, had a couple of runners
right through the lane that kept them at bay.
CARLEY APPLEGATE is such a solid all around player.
Treadwell hurt her back and came out of the game for
awhile, and Dahle was out with foul trouble, so I had
Carley run the point. We didnt skip a beat
we even scored 5 points off the sets that she ran.
They came back on us in the 4th quarter but we
were able to hold them off, Long said.
Jimenez finished with 18 points, while freshman SKYLAR
WILLIAMS chipped in with 16 points.
STEELE CANYON 33, HELIX 28 Steele Canyon
coach PENNY SMITH had to figure that his Cougars were
staring at defeat when they scored only one point in
the 1st quarter of Wednesdays (Feb. 3) Grossmont
Hills League encounter at Helix.
Fortunately for Smith his team found firm footing as
they went on to post Steele Canyon s third win
in four decisions.
JANVIER BARBARIN scored a game high 17 points to lead
the Cougars (9-12, 2-3 GHL).
KIM SCOTT topped Helix with 13 points.
For Helix (8-11, 1-4 GHL) it usually just boils down
to free throws. The Highlanders made only 11 of 28 charity
shots. The fact that Helix made only 8 of 33 shots from
the field (24 percent) made for even tougher sledding
for the Highlanders.
When you shoot like weve been shooting
the last couple of games, you cant expect to win,
said Helix coach TRINA MERIDETH. We are rushing
our shots and thats never good.
The 1st half was riddled with errors but in the
2nd half we came alive, said Steele Canyon assistant
coach RODNEY VAN. Our defense is coming on
were getting better and better. We only shot 31
percent from the field but 65 percent on free throws.
JV (Barbarin) scored critical baskets in the
2nd quarter. The bigs JV and ALI MERLINO
kinda took over the game at the end of the 2nd quarter
and in the 3rd quarter.
Helix: Kim Scott 13 (3 reb, 1 blk, 2 stl), Kristina
Scott 3 (2 reb, 2 stl), Jacqueline Smith 3 (6 reb, 1
blk), Jasmine Hunn 7 (10 reb, 1 blk), Lexi Audley 1,
Iesha Murray 1 (3 reb), Dana Hosley (1 reb, 1 blk).
SANTANA 65, MONTE VISTA 55 SAMMY WHITE
scored a career high 19 points and grabbed 7 rebounds
in Wednesdays (Feb. 3) Grossmont Valley League
game in Santee as the Sultans surprised Monte Vista.
The Sultans scored a season high as ALYSSA PADBERG
tallied 15 points and DELIA FILES and KIM GROSS each
scored 13 points.
We completely befuddled them tonight, said
Santana coach MARK TIPTON. We deserved to win
the game.
Files recorded a double-double in that she led the
Sultans (7-16, 3-1 GVL) with 10 rebounds.
She was strong in all aspects of the game,
said Tipton.
DEANNA BEMBRY led Monte Vista with 18 points, 12 rebounds,
5 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks.
ALEX ROSS landed 6 three-pointers to cash in 18 points
for the Monarchs (12-10, 2-2 GVL).
Everybodys going to play us zone,
said Monarchs coach MICHAEL SKIBBE. We have to
do something to make them play other defenses.
EL CAPITAN 26, EL CAJON VALLEY 23 This
Grossmont Valley League game on Wednesday (Feb. 3) boiled
down to free throws in the 4th quarter.
AMBER REL-SOLIA nailed two free throws, CHELSEY KYLE
hit a bucket and a free throw and ERICA ARIE also contributed
2 points as El Capitan (9-13, 1-3 GVL) squeezed out
the victory over host El Cajon Valley.
It was like a boring movie... you know, like
the ones you just keep waiting to get better,
said El Capitan coach FRANK QUINONES. I thought
the ending was OK.
El Capitan freshman NIKI SPRING led all scorers with
8 points.
Weve been in kind of a funk lately but
its kinda scary to think that we scored more points
against Mount Miguel than we did against El Cajon Valley,
said Quinones.
The Braves (3-18, 0-4 GVL) were on the verge of a mild
upset when HAZEL DOE fouled out with 1:40 to play.
If she wouldnt have fouled out at that
point Id like to think we had a chance to win,
said Braves coach CARLOS MOSS. We were close all
the way, and I thought this might be the night. This
might have been our best chance.
El Cajon Valley: Natasha Fernandez 7, Hazel Doe 4,
Terika Williams 4, Kaylani Faten 4, Chelsea Ball 2,
Sharde William 2.
WEST HILLS 54, VALHALLA 32 Those in the
Valhalla huddle had to be excited after the close of
the 1st quarter in Wednesdays (Feb. 3) Grossmont
Hills League game as the host Norsemen led Top 10 ranked
for West Hills 14-12.
Turns out it was hardly worthy of a celebration as
West Hills (16-5, 5-0 GHL) came to life in the 2nd half
by outscoring the Norsemen 32-12.
Let's be honest, they started their entire second
string against us, which I was all for, said Valhalla
coach VALLI LOPEZ. Let's have the underclassmen
play the underclassmen, since my starting 5 only carries
one senior. We played great against them. Then West
Hills put all 5 regular starters in and we played well
against them.
SHERIKA MILLER led West Hills with 13 points. KIMBERLY
CLARK led the Wolf Pack rebounders with 7 and MARIAH
BENNETT had 4 assists.
We mixed it up tonight. We started our sophomores
and freshmen, said West Hills coach RYAN KINSER.
They didnt play very well, so we put our
seniors back in. They didnt play well either.
We didnt respond well early we were outplayed.
We finally put our offense and defense together in the
2nd half.
We lost steam at the end of the game, said
Lopez. I have 7 players and we just ran out of
steam.
This league makes me laugh because on any given
night any team can beat any team. After tonights
rounds of games, the results will speak for themselves.
TENISHA LEE led the Norsemen with 11 points.
West Hills: Sherika Miller 13 (2 reb, 2 stl), Taylor
Aguirre 8 (4 reb, 2 ast, 3 stl), Jillian Brown 8 (6
reb, 1 ast, 1 stl), Taylor Ingrahm 8 (4 reb), Danielle
Hays 6 (4 reb), Kimberly Clark 5 (7 reb, 2 ast, 2 stl),
Marilyn Naderhoff 3 (3 ast, 1 stl), Mariah Bennett 3
(3 reb, 4 ast), Emily Cole (2 reb), Alexa Evens (1 ast).
Valhalla: Tenisha Lee 11, Alle Mims 9, Kandise Kalasho
7, Danielle Wilson 3, Mackenzie Cartmill 2.
No. 1 Mount Miguel Matadors
at No. 2 La Jolla Country Day Torreys (Slideshow by Ed Piper)
Take Granite Hills for example. The Eagles came off
the weekend and found themselves locked in a 34-all
deadlock after regulation in Mondays (Feb. 1)
Grossmont Hills League against underdog Steele Canyon.
Yet believing that they are championship caliber, the
Eagles found a way to pull out a 47-40 overtime victory.
They almost didnt reach overtime. If not for
SABRINA JIMENEZ 3-pointer with 8 seconds left
in regulation, Granite Hills (18-5, 3-1 GHL) would have
gone down in defeat.
SAMANTHA SILVA hit a 3-pointer to launch the Eagles
overtime surge. Granite Hills led the entire extra period.
The girls were really confident we have
played a lot of close games this year, said Eagles
coach JERRY PARKER.
Freshman SKYLAR WILLIAMS paced the Eagles with 15 points,
one more than Jimenez, who also had 7 assists.
We had a bad 1st half, werent shooting
the ball well, said Parker. We have to do
a better job of boxing out and catching the ball. We
had some girls in foul trouble and they kinda beat us
up on the boards.
MICHELLE YBARRA did a great job of boxing out,
Parker added.
For Steele Canyon GABRIELLE BEASLEY scored a team best
11 points.
WEST HILLS 59, HELIX 34 Freshman EMILY
COLE proved her worth to the Wolf Pack in Mondays
(Feb. 1) Grossmont Hills League victory over visiting
Helix by scoring 10 points and snaring 5 rebounds, despite
not starting.
Emily Cole did a good job off the bench,
said West Hills coach RYAN KINSER.
Senior MARILYN NADERHOFF, who hit 5 of 8 shots from
the field, paced the Wolf Pack (15-5, 4-0 GHL) with
11 points.
KIMBERLY CLARK chipped in with 10 points the
majority coming on a trio of treys and 5 rebounds.
We played some pretty good defense at times,
said Kinser. We did, however, give up too many
2nd chances. Im happy with the offense side of
the ball. We took some good open shots. Kimmie Clark
was open early. She shot well from 3-point range.
KIMBERLY SCOTT led Helix (8-10, 1-3 GHL) with a game
high 15 points.
JASMINE HUNN grabbed a game high 11 rebounds for the
Highlanders.
We had a tough time with a good team,
said Helix coach TRINA MERIDETH. We are still
having some problems shooting (11 for 41 tonight) from
the field. The girls came out and played hard. At times
in the 2nd half their pressure defense hurt us.
Helix: Kim Scott 15 (2 reb, 2 ast, 2 stl), Kristina
Scott 6 (1 reb, 1 ast, 1 stl), Jasmine Hunn 4 (11 reb),
Jasmine Williams 4 (1 reb), Dana Hosley 3 (3 reb, 1
blk), Faith Leaupepe-Tele 2 (1 stl), Jacqueline Smith
(3 reb), Iesha Murray (1 reb).
MONTE VISTA 55, EL CAJON VALLEY 39 The
old days are over. The Monte Vista Monarchs are for
real.
Maybe theyre not as good as perennial power Mount
Miguel, but in East County theyre starting to
climb the ladder. The Monarchs (12-9, 2-1 GVL) are probably
a lock for 2nd place in the Grossmont Valley League,
as they proved Monday (Feb. 1) to visiting El Cajon
Valley (3-17, 0-3 GVL).
Were still a target, said Monte Vista
coach MICHAEL SKIBBE, whose Monarchs have won 4 of their
last 5. I never focus on any one game. Were
guaranteed five more games. Anything beyond that...
were just going to keep working. Our season doesnt
end until it ends. We got a lot of people on the court
tonight. Weve been working on some zone stuff.
Skibbes crew isnt interested in creating
superstars its all about winning games.
Boyd erupted for 9 points and 8 rebounds, sharing the
scoring lead with ALEX ROSS.
Sophomore SHAMONIQUE BOYD is 6-foot-1, with a
6-4 mother, so she has some growing to do, and TASHA
BROWN, 5-11, are really coming around, said Skibbe.
To us they are big.
TERIKA WILLIAMS and KAYLANI FATEN each had 11 points
for the Braves.
The 2nd quarter really got to us, said
Braves coach CARLOS MOSS of the Monarchs 18-4
scoring run. We got into their style of game in
the 2nd quarter. They really made us pick up our pace
and play a much faster game, which we did not want to
do. We played our style of game in the other three quarters.
El Cajon Valley: Terika Williams 11, Kaylani Faten
11, Hazel Doe 9, Danielle Santana 2, Miranda Mullens
2, Natasha Fernandez 2, Chelsea Ball 2.
GROSSMONT 59, VALHALLA 24 Even though
host Valhalla got off to an impressive start, leading
the Foothillers 12-10 after one quarter of Mondays
(Feb. 1) Grossmont Hills League game, Grossmont (9-11,
3-1 GHL) dominated the final 24 minutes for its fourth
win in five starts.
Sophomore DANIELLE DAHLE delivered a double-double
of 12 points and 11 rebounds to pace the Foothillers.
CHRISTA SAWYERS added 10 points, including a pair of
treys, for Grossmont. She was 4 for 4 from the floor.
( Valhalla ) had a good half-court offense and
they executed well in the 1st half, said Foothillers
coach MEGAN LONG. They played sticky defense in
the 1st half. We went to a press in the 3rd quarter
it bothered their young guards. Our outside shooting
was crucial to our offense tonight.
Grossmont broke the game open in the 2nd half, outscoring
the Norsemen 39-7.
We were only 3 down at the half, said Valhalla
coach VALLI LOPEZ. The reason was we were relaxed
in the 1st half, our shots were falling. Their press
got to us in the 2nd half. We just tensed up. Grossmont
had 6 threes that was a big part of the game.
Im not disappointed in the way we played in the
1st half.
TENISHA LEE tossed in 9 points and collected 10 rebounds
to lead Valhalla (5-15, 0-4 GHL).
DANIELLE WILSON also tallied 9 points for the Norsemen.
MOUNT MIGUEL 68, EL CAPITAN 27 When the
Mount Miguel Matadors ventured to Lakeside to take on
El Capitan Monday (Feb. 1) in a Grossmont Valley League
game, one had to figure theyd be angry and ready
take it out on the host Vaqueros.
Matadors coach ROBBIE SANDOVAL didnt see it happen
that way.
We didnt really get going until the 3rd
quarter, Sandoval said. We were still suffering
jet lag from Saturday (a 66-46 loss to La Jolla County
Day).
Mount Miguel (20-2, 4-0 GVL) led 38-14 by halftime
and broke the game open with a 20-5 scoring spree in
the 3rd period.
I thought it was one of our better games against
the press in my three years at El Capitan, said
Vaqueros coach FRANK QUINONES. We did it against
one of the best Mount Miguel teams Ive seen in
a long time.
SHAY YOUNG led Mount Miguel with 16 points and 5 blocks.
I have to give credit to SHAY YOUNG that
girl is class, Quinones said. She knocked
over (El Capitans) ERICA ARIE several times and
each time she helped Erica up.
Nobody from El Capitan scored more than 5 points.
If it werent for our mental mistakes tonight
we would have scored a lot more, Quinones said.
Wed break the press easily then turn the
ball over. If we minimize our mistakes we score 20 more
points.
