Harrigan steps down from S.F. powerhouse  July 1, 2009 10:27 PM One of state's winningest girls hoop coaches resigns at Sacred Heart Cathedral, which in 2008 had the No. 1 team in the nation. He leaves just three wins shy of 600th milestone victory. By Harold Abend, Special to CalHiSports.com After 28 years, the last 19 at San Francisco's Sacred Heart Cathedral, California girls basketball coaching legend Brian Harrigan has decided to change gears. He announced on Tuesday he would be resigning his post at Sacred Heart Cathedral, but told CalHiSports.com on Wednesday that he could return to coaching at a later date. "A lot of people don't realize or forget how long it's been,” said Harrigan, who began his career in 1981 as a 23-year-old girls coach at the old St. Rose Academy in San Francisco. What a lot of people also don't realize is if St. Rose had not been forced to close after suffering irreparable damage in the 1989 San Francisco earthquake that also halted the Bay Bridge World Series, the affable Harrigan may never have landed a mile west at Sacred Heart Cathedral. He did, and the rest is history. Harrigan leaves behind a legacy of four CIF state championship teams, six Northern Regional titles, 10 consecutive Central Coast Section crowns, and a 597-174 record for the 2006 State Coach of the Year, and the 2009 National High School Coaches Association Girls Basketball Coach of the Year. His 2008 team was also named State Team of the Year. ... (Read full post) basketball, TAGS: CA, Brian Harrigan, Sacred Heart Cathedral, Mike Carey, Tierra Rogers
Fitting finales for Cherry & Rogers  June 15, 2009 5:16 PM Last prep basketball outings for Will Cherry and Tierra Rogers in Battle of the Best Showdowns on Saturday are sensational. Numerous top underclass players also shine in event that pitted North vs. South and Sac vs. Bay in boys & girls all-star games. By Harold Abend, Special to CalHiSports.com There was both a men's Big Sky and women's Pac-10 coach whose incoming freshmen shone brightly last weekend at Laney College in Oakland. The event was the Battle of the Best Showdown North vs. South and Sac vs. Bay put on by affable Piedmont girls coach Bryan Gardere. Standing next to his car prior to the event, dressed neatly but casually, wearing a backpack and talking on his cell phone, Will Cherry looked like just another student arriving for a weekend class at Laney. The difference between the former ESPN RISE CalHiSports.com Boys State Athlete of the Week and other young men at Laney that day was Cherry wasn't there to take classes, he was there to give lessons. In his last high school game, and on what is almost his home away from home, having played on four straight OAL (Oakland Section) teams that won championships on the floor, Cherry soared and the crowd roared, as he led the North and the Bay to 115-99 and 109-103 victories over the South and Sac teams, respectively. ...

California Girls Shine at McDonald's  April 2, 2009 1:19 AM California six help McDonald's All-American West team to an upset 69-68 victory in Miami on Wednesday night. On the boys side, Golden State contingent doesn't fare as well with the East club pulling out a 113-110 victory. By Ronnie Flores, Senior Editor The state of California had six representatives in the eighth annual McDonald's All-American girls team and they proved on Wednesday night that they all belonged, and then some, as each helped the West unit pull out an exciting 69-68 victory over the East club. The game could have went to overtime after Kelly Faris (Heritage Christian/Plainfield, Ind.) was fouled on a three-point attempt with her team trailing, 69-66, with two seconds remaining. She canned her first two attempts only to miss the third one. The West club was the underdog, as it didn't have much size because of the absence YouTube dunking sensation Brittney Griner (Nimitz/Houston), but they competed hard and won the battle of the boards, 64-54. The performance of Tierra Rogers (Sacred Heart Cathedral/San Francisco) typified the determined attitude of the West club. Despite her slender 5-foot-11 frame, the Fightin' Irish standout grabbed eight rebounds, including five on the offensive end, and finished with four points. When she was selected for the game, it truly was a blessing for Rogers, not only because of the family tragedy she's had to endure over the last year, but because SHC teammate Ki-Shawna "KiKi" Moore easily could have been chosen to the team in her place. In fact, at least two other California girls players could have been selected, especially Layshia Clarendon (Cajon/San Bernardino), who might have been the nation's biggest snub on the girls side. Gennifer Brandon (Chatsworth) displayed her toughness on the boards all week long and actually scored the game's clinching points on a lay-up. She finished with 10 points, one of five players in double figures for the West team. Danesha Stallworth (Pinole Valley/Pinole) showed a national audience why she might be one of the nation's most under appreciated recruits. She was one of three players to score a team-high 11 points. She will join Brandon, Clarendon, Rogers and Eliza Pierre (Muir/Pasadena) at the University of California in the fall. Pierre also showed she belonged by dishing out a game-high five assists and coming up with a game-high four steals. Not to be outdone, USC recruit Christina Marinacci (Foothill/Tustin) displayed a great all-around game, also scoring team-high 11 points and canning three of five three-pointers. Monique Oliver (Poly/Long Beach) contributed four points and six rebounds, but made only two of 13 field goal attempts. On the boys side, the California four in Coral Gables for the McDonalds festivities didn't fare as well. To make matters worse, the West boys lost the game 113-110 after a last-ditch three-point attempt by Mason Plumlee (Christ School/Winona Lake, Ind.) was off-target. EA SPORTS National Player of the Year candidate Derrick Favors (South Atlanta, Ga.) scored the last four points of the game as his team trailed 110-109 following a three-pointer by the West's Xavier Henry (Putnam City/Oklahoma City). Both of Favor' baskets were thunderous two-handed dunks. The California Class of 2009 on the boys side is considered average in comparison to recent classes and it showed on Wednesday night. Twin brothers David and Travis Wear (Mater Dei/Santa Ana) combined for six points, all of them scored by Travis. Renardo Sidney (Fairfax/Los Angeles), who was considered the best national prospect in this class as a 10th-grader at Artesia of Lakewood, floated on the perimeter most of the time and finished with 11 points, six rebounds and three assists. Michael Snaer (Rancho Verde/Moreno Valley) played with passion all week long and it paid off during the game. He scored 13 points, on six of nine shooting, including a few acrobatic moves around the rim. Florida State looks like they went out West and found itself a gem.

New Cal-Hi Sports Bay Area Top 20s  January 6, 2009 11:48 PM Boys No. 1 McClymonds still rolling along, while Sacred Heart Cathedral is still tops for the girls despite loss to Long Beach Poly. Watch Cal-Hi Sports Bay Area every Sunday night at 7 p.m. on YourTV 20 in San Francisco. Replays during the week on Comcast SportsNet throughout Northern California. By Harold Abend, Special to CalHiSports.com The caravan moves from the frosty gridiron to the warm gymnasium this week as we transition from football and other fall sports to the hardwood courts and basketball. While we haven't seen but a handful of Bay Area boys teams yet, there's little doubt as to who the top three teams are with the season just over a third gone. After that, several teams have beaten each other with a few common opponents as well At McClymonds, first-year head coach Brandon Brooks has picked up right where Dwight Nathaniel left off. The Warriors have dispatched 45 straight opponents since losing two years ago to Fairfax (Los Angeles) in the Division I state championship game. Mack has only played four Bay Area teams, San Leandro, El Cerrito, Valley Christian of San Jose and Berkeley, and only really was challenged by San Leandro in a 63-54 victory to open the season. Senior 6-foot-6 forward Damon Powell (15.3 PPG, 10.7 RPG) has rattled lots of rims already and fellow senior guard Will Cherry is handling the rock in the backcourt and averaging 13.6 points, 5.0 steals, 4.2 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game. The East Bay Athletic League looks like it might be even more competitive at the top in basketball as it was in football with Monte Vista emerging as a legitimate challenger to De La Salle's recent dominance amongst North Coast Section Division I teams. Mustang Coach Bill Powers' squad is perfect to start the campaign with wins over St. Mary's of Berkeley and Moeller of Cincinnati en route to the tourney title at the Don Bambauer Classic at Marin Catholic. Frank Allocco's Spartans have a suspicious loss to an Oakland Tech team that Monte Vista beat by 12 points, but other than that blip have been good and last week routed defending CIF Division IV state champ Campbell Hall. The two will meet Jan. 21, two days after De La Salle plays Mack in the MLK Classic at Cal. New Boys Top 20 Rankings (Through games of Jan. 3) (Not including forfeits) 1. McClymonds (Oakland) 13-0 2.

They are unquestionably still the top squad in these parts. The Irish were tested by Punahou of Honolulu and Oregon City in the first two games of the Iolani Classic last month before being soundly beaten 51-36 by Long Beach Poly in the finals but those aren't Bay Area teams. The closest any Bay Area/NorCal team has gotten was Eastside College Prep (East Palo Alto) in a 63-49 final. St. Mary's of Berkeley, which held its own and won the Consolation Championship of the Platinum Division of the West Coast Jamboree, fell 62-32 to the Irish. After SHC, it's really anyone's game. Bishop O'Dowd of Oakland had two quality wins at Nike against Villa Maria of Pennsylvania and La Jolla Country Day before losing to nationally-ranked Whitney Young of Chicago. They also have another quality win against Encinal (Alameda) and twice trounced rival Moreau Catholic of Hayward. We'll see what they really have when they face the Irish at the Marin Catholic MLK Classic. Carondelet of Concord will get points for a win against Mitty, and for almost beating Potter's House Christian of Florida (52-51) in the Platinum's fifth-place game at the Jamboree, but frankly Deer Valley looked better at home in the Jamboree. This was especially true when the Wolverines had Hanford on the ropes until they got rained on for seven straight threes in the game's closing moments in an 81-74 defeat. By contrast, Carondelet lost 79-62 to Hanford and was never really in the game. It's too bad the old rivals can't meet now that Carondelet moves into the EBAL like its brother school De La Salle while Deer Valley is in the Bay Valley League.

Girls Basketball Preseason State Rankings  November 28, 2008 4:07 PM (listed with win-loss record from last year) (final 2007-08 ranking by CalHiSports.com from overall top 50 in parentheses) (we are in our 30th year of providing California high schools with rankings, all-state teams and other honors) Compiled by Mark Tennis, Harold Abend and Ronnie Flores 1. (2) Poly (Long Beach) 32-2 For the third consecutive season, coach Carl Buggs' Lady Jackrabbits are the preseason No. 1 team in the Golden State. In the fall of 2005, they opened up the season No. 2 behind Troy of Fullerton. A constant on those teams was forward Jasmine Dixon, but the 2008 Mr. Basketball selection is now at Rutgers. Despite her graduation, Poly shouldn't miss a beat and are the favorites to win a fourth consecutive CIF Div. I state title. Junior Thaddesia Southall (6-3) was Dixon's understudy but got plenty of experience because Poly was involved in so many blowout wins. She'll be part of a nice 1-2 inside punch with senior Monique Oliver (9 ppg, 9 rpg), who blended her talents on an incredibly deep team. She could double her scoring output and help take pressure off the perimeter players. The backcourt will be manned by Ariya Crook-Williams (5-9), a freshman all-state selection last season, and twin terrors Brittany and Ashley Wilson. A threat on the wings is 5-11 Kelli Thompson, who is a deadly outside shooter from the corner, but one player who could actually be missed as much as Dixon is April Cook (Boise State), who always took on the challenge of shutting down the opposition's best scoring threat. The rich only get richer, though, as sophomore Sheila Boykin (6-2), a potential All-American down the line, transferred in from nearby Lynwood. With three straight CIF Division I state titles plus the key transfer, it just makes the most sense to start out the Jackrabbits at No. 1 in the state. The top three teams, however, are all playing in major national tournaments so who's No. 1 at the start doesn't matter much. It's fairly certain that the debate between Poly, Sacred Heart Cathedral and St. Mary's of Stockton will get decided on the court. 2. (1) Sacred Heart Cathedral (San Francisco) 33-0 Sure, you can definitely make the case that the Irish should be behind St. Mary's of Stockton to start the season due to the number of returning players the Rams have, but SHC is a three-time defending state champ with a 56-game win streak and returns three dominant players of its own. Tierra Rogers is a smooth forward who scores well in the clutch and is headed to Cal. Kiki Moore is one of the top point guards in the nation, especially at stealing the ball in the open court. And then there's Kamilah Jackson, who looks more and more impressive as a rebounder, shot blocker and inside scorer every time you see her. If some of the younger players come through to offset the graduation loss of two-time all-state Jazmine Jackson (Kamilah's older sister) and with head coach Brian Harrigan calling the shots, the Irish have a chance to be just as good as last year when they were No. 1 in the final FAB 50 national rankings. 3. (3) St. Mary's (Stockton) 32-1 The Rams are No. 1 nationally in the ESPN RISE FAB 50, but are No. 3 in these state rankings. This just shows how close it is among the top three and that disagreement will be okay among sites on the ESPN platform. Head coach Tom Gonsalves' team returns nine of its top 10 players from a unit that came within one last-second shot of beating Sacred Heart Cathedral in last year's CIF Northern Regional Div. III final. St. Mary's will feature two legitimate All-American candidates in junior Chelsea Gray (5-10) and junior Afure Jemerigbe (5-11). There isn't a ton of size on the inside, but Gray and Jemerigbe are so athletic that they'll clean up the glass against taller players anyway. Another key for St. Mary's is its depth surrounding its top players. The list of those players includes Allie Moreno, a feisty 5-5 point guard, Emily Gonsalves (the coach's daughter) and 5-11 forward Annissa Garcia. If Jemerigbe can be back to full strength by the time the huge tournaments roll around due to a serious ankle injury she had during the summer, the Rams will be tough to beat and could live up to their preseason acclaim. 4. (30) Mater Dei (Santa Ana) 25-4 Multi-year state championship head coach Kevin Kiernan, who won three at Troy of Fullerton, begins his second season at the Monarchs' helm. He loses point guard Kaitlyn Soto (now at New Mexico State) and 6-foot forward Jenna Lujan, but this year's team, although young, will be far better than last year's 25-4 squad that bowed out of the Southern Section playoffs in a 66-51 loss to Lynwood. The girl that will provide the most firepower is 6-foot sophomore Kaleena Masqueda-Lewis. One of the most highly regarded players by ESPN Hoopgurlz from the class of 2011 and a girl who tied for the top ranking in the 2008 CalHiSports.com Girls of Summer rankings; Lewis averaged 15.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per game playing mostly up top. With her size and power, her game is not limited to the perimeter although she's a deadly shooter. She was the youngest player to participate at this summer's Nike Skills Academy where she was particularly impressive. In fact, Masqueda-Lewis was on of the summer's top performers for girls from any class in the entire nation. Also returning after an excellent freshman campaign is 6-foot-1 Alex Vaioletama. Last season she had per game averages of 11.6 points and 5.9 rebounds and looked much improved in summer action. Joining the mix is 5-foot-11 incoming freshman Jordan Adams, one of only six girls on the ESPN Hoopgurlz watch list for the class of 2012. She can shoot off the dribble, slash, handle the ball in traffic and will be an excellent compliment to the big girls. Senior 5-8 guard Kathryn Haugen and senior 6-1 Mya Olivier will provide leadership. Haugen can also handle the ball and is not afraid to go to the glass with bigger girls. Olivier earned a decent evaluation in this past Girls of Summer rankings. 5. (14) Brea Olinda (Brea) 25-4 It should be another terrific season for the Ladycats, especially if 5-7 sophomore guard Alexis Perry can be the dominant point guard she was expected to be last year as a freshman before she was sidelined the entire season with a knee injury. Head coach Jeff Sink already has the State Freshman Player of the Year back, 6-2 Justine Hartman, and two other legit all-state talents in 5-6 guard Jonae Ervin and 5-10 junior Kelsey Harris. Toss in 6-0 forward Kendall Rodriguez plus additional depth coming up from the JV team and it's all there for Brea Olinda to perhaps end up being better than either of the top three and make a run at being State Team of the Year. 6. (7) Cajon (San Bernardino) 30-4 Two four-year starters return to lead a club that not only stepped up in its level of competition, but stepped up its game and took home its first CIF Southern Section Div. II-A title. It all starts in the backcourt with 5-foot-9 senior guard Layshia Clarendon, last season's Cal-Hi Sports state junior of the year. Clarendon averaged 20.7 ppg, 6.7 assists and 4.0 steals and could wind up high on the state's all-time list for scoring and assists. In the rebound department, there is no one better around than Darshae Burnside (6-2), who is on track to break Courtney Paris' (Piedmont/Oklahoma) career state record for caroms. After getting a taste of top-notch competition, this team has its sights set on another solid showing at the NIKE Tournament of Champions and, more importantly, a Div. II state title. The Cowgirls didn't have much depth last year, but this is the season coach Mark Lehman has clearly been pointing to. The rotation should be improved as only two lettermen have graduated from last year, plus sophomores Kori Walker, Alexa Saturday and Rashida Simpson should be much improved players. 7. (9) Clovis West (Fresno) 28-3 Head coach Craig Campbell has built a dominant program in the Central Section in a short time and the Golden Eagles should be hard to beat this season. Headlining a solid group of returnees are 6-0 senior Morgan Hatten, who has scored as much as 24 ppg during her prep career but dipped to 11.8 last season in more of a team offense at Clovis West. Janae Coffee, a 6-3 post player, also is back after leading the team with 13.0 ppg a year ago. Another key returnee is 5-9 junior guard Briana Orlich. 8. (9) Sacramento 26-3 Pam McGee resigned as coach to help transition her son into the NBA, JaVale McGee, a 7-foot center at Nevada last season, who is now with the Washington Wizards. Also gone is last year's second leading scorer Quanisha Turner, who is now playing for IUPUI in Indianapolis. New coach Michelle Massan inherits a team that returns leading scorer, and the Sacramento Bee's All-Metro center, junior 6-foot-3 Erica Barnes (17.1 PPG and 8.9 RPG), as well as third leading scorer, Brittany Shine, who averaged 13.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.6 steals per game. Barnes looked good this summer but her frontcourt mate, Kyra Dunn, a 6-3 power post looked just as good. Last season, Dunn was the Dragons' leading rebounder with 11.1 per game. She also dropped in an even 10.0 points a game and was a shot blocking machine, averaging 6.6 blocks a contest and getting double-digit swats on four occasions with a high of 16 in a game against cross-town rival Grant. Shine is more than capable of filling the void left by Turner's graduation, and you add in junior guard Katrina Salinas (11.3 PPG), the Dragons should give fellow Div. III St. Mary's of Stockton all it can handle at some point those should inevitably meet. 9. (21) Archbishop Mitty (San Jose) 23-11 Head coach Sue Phillips' program has won two straight CIF Division II state titles and four overall and looks like a good bet to get to a ninth CIF state championship game this season. This year's team features one of the top backcourts in the state with 5-8 junior Classye James (already a verbal to Oregon State) and 5-7 sophomore Ashley Watson, an all-state freshman from a year ago. The team also has solid size up front with 6-3 junior Courtney Wilson, 6-1 junior Elizabeth Gordon (younger sister of UCLA freshman Drew Gordon) and 6-3 senior Keilani Ricketts (also one of the top softball pitchers in the nation). 10. (12) Berkeley 29-4 Currently, there are a lot of uncertainties with respect to the Yellowjackets, including the status of last year's head coach, Cheryl Draper. Jazmine Perkins is graduated and now at Washington State, and last year's best inside player 5-foot-11 Camila Rosen, is out with a knee injury. Also, speedy sophomore point guard Brittany Boyd, who supposedly transferred from Hercules, has had her eligibility questioned, and awaits a final decision on her status from the North Coast Section. CalHiSports.com has been told it will be decided next week. The good news in Berkeley is the team is still loaded with talent. Power forward 5-foot-11 Airika Warren returns for her senior year after a very solid junior season. Dominique Williams-McNac comes back from a knee injury and will be tested early at the point. Chairese Culberson, who impressed as a 6-foot freshman center, comes into the season looking much improved and could be a rising star in the Bay Area. Junior Taylor Wallace, a 5-10 forward can score and rebound in the paint, and Sharonda Morgan, a 5-6 junior, will be needed to help at the point and on defense. 11. (nr) Foothill (Tustin) 24-5 Coach Bill Seifert brings back a powerful front line led by USC-bound Christina Marinacci, who tied for the top spot in the CalHiSports.com Girls of Summer rankings and is ranked No. 35 nationally in the Class of 2009 by ESPN Hoopgurlz. Marinacci averaged 21.5 and 11.7 rebounds per game for a team that was ousted 57-52 last year by San Clemente in the Southern Section playoffs. The other half of the twin towers in central Orange County is 6-1 Makenzie Hirz, who averaged 10.9 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. Those two will dominate the paint but there are questions about the perimeter game. Blair Shinoda, a 5-10 senior guard looked good this summer and averaged 9.0 points and 5.3 assists per game but her ball-handling is a little suspect. That means the 6-foot-2 Marinacci has to bring the ball up against the press and do a lot more when the Knights play top-level teams. 12. (25) Hanford 26-5 The Bullpups emerged as one of the state's top teams last year and should be better this season. Almost everyone is back, led by sophomore point guard Madison Parrish, daughter of head coach Tom Parrish, who averaged 10 5 points and 6.2 assists per game as a freshman. Two other double-digit scorers returning are 5-10 senior Courtney Rose (11.4 ppg) and 5-8 junior Taylor Spikes (10.;7 ppg). 13. (nr) Bishop's (La Jolla) 21-10 The top team to open the season from the San Diego Section may provide Coach Marlon Wells a chance to return to ARCO Arena, this time in Division IV. His Charde Houston-led San Diego Cavers lost the 2004 D1 title to Oakland Tech. He loses No. 2 scorer Michelle Brunker (now at Lafayette) but this team is finally healthy and has two D1 college recruits on its roster. Austrian-born 6-foot-3 Inge Orekhova returns after missing most of last season with injuries and a late start due to eligibility issues. Still, she averaged 16 points and eight rebounds in 11 games. The Northwestern-bound star has an all-around game that is unmatched by most girls her size. In an exhibition for college coaches at the Phenom 150 Camp in San Diego this summer, she showed excellent prowess as a ball-handler and drained nine straight three-pointers in a one-on-one drill with a big girl's hand in her face on each shot. Even with seeing limited action, ESPN Hoopgurlz still rates Orekhova as the No. 40 ranked girl in the 2009 class. Complimenting her will be Penn State-bound Gizelle Studevant, an excellent outside shooter who can also go to the basket. She was last year's leading scorer at 18.5 points per game. Junior 5-10 forward Elaina White (9.7 points 6.0 rebounds per game) will provide additional size down low. Also returning is 5-9 starting guard Brianna Martinez, who averaged seven points and seven rebounds last season. Last year, the team lost the San Diego Section Division IV title to La Jolla Country Day and then exited in the Southern Regionals in the first round with a 64-55 lost to St. Mary's Academy of Inglewood. 14. (7) Chatsworth 26-7 With defending L.A. City Section champion Narbonne graduating its top three players, the Chancellors move into the role as L.A. City Section favorites. Coach Michelle Chavalier's club played the Gauchos tough in the L.A. City title game and in the SoCal Div. I regional and have the pieces in place to make another deep run in the state tournament. It all starts with Gennifer Brandon (6-3), an underclass all-state selection who has signed with Cal and could one day be battling her older sister Kim (now at Arizona State) under the boards in a Pac-10 game. Kim won't be around but Destinee Sellers (5-10) will help to pick up the slack and compliment Gennifer on the inside. The backcourt ace for Chavalier (herself a fine player at El Rancho of Pico Rivera in the early 1990's) is junior Monica Jackson (5-7), a fine scorer who pumped in 29 points in Chatsworth's season-opening victory over Westchester. 15. (33) Summitt (Fontana) 30-3 It was a breakout season for the Skyhawks last year as their roster of completely underclass players not only held their own against senior-oriented squads but beat almost all of them. The Skyhawks were that young because they're from a new school that had no seniors. Normally, this is a great omen for when that school has seniors and that time is now. Leading returnees include 6-2 senior Meghin Williams (13.8 ppg, 9.1 rebs) and 5-8 junior Adrianne Thomas (11.4 ppg, 4.0 assists). 16. (45) Bishop O'Dowd (Oakland) 23-5 Last year's young team that lost 55-46 to Hercules in the North Coast Section D3 playoffs is loaded with talent and only loses 15 points a game to graduating seniors. Robie Mayberry, a 5-foot-11 junior who can play any position on the floor, is back after averaging 13.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, 4.1 steals and 3.1 assists per game. Her junior mate, Alexis Bostock, a 5-8 guard, is just as effective inside as on the perimeter, and had an excellent season in 2007, averaging 12.3 points, 3.6 steals, 3.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. Coach Kevin Cushing has several reported transfers including highly regarded junior 5-7 point guard Mikayla Lyles and 6-2 post Brieanna Ashley, both formerly of Amador Valley in Pleasanton. 17. (23) Lynwood 21-8 The Lady Knights suffered a blow when Sheila Boykin, the runner-up for state freshman of the year last season, transferred to nearby Long Beach Poly. Veteran coach Ellis Barfield will make the necessary adjustments and will continue to win games with pressure defense and an up-tempo offense, but the Knights just won't be as dominant on a statewide level as they might have been otherwise. The key underneath will be Shaylese Shofner (6-3), a four-year varsity performer who must step up in Boykin's absence and show more offensive aggression. The backcourt looks to be in fine hands with 5-foot-8 Brianna Barfield, the coach's daughter and an underrated athlete, and Priscilla Cergol, also 5-foot-8. Cergol is listed on the roster after transferring from Lynwood and playing her junior season at Edison of Huntington Beach. She is a cat quick, ball-handling wizard whose return should have a huge impact. 18. (nr) St. Mary's (Berkeley) 24-6 The top-ranked Division IV team in Northern California loses only two senior starters and around 10 points per game combined. What Coach Nate Fripp does return from a team that bowed out 54-53 to Justin-Siena (Napa) in the North Coast Section playoffs is a roster of mostly underclass players with tremendous upside. The group is led by big, strong 5-10 power forward Danielle Mauldin, who averaged 13.1 points and 11.1 rebounds a game. Sonia Aguilar, a 5-8 point guard who can shoot from the outside, returns for her senior season after averaging 12.4 point a game last year. Other players who will make a significant impact are sophomore Cody Sims, a 5-10 forward who looked impressive this summer. She averaged 9.2 points and 6.9 rebounds as a freshman. Six-foot sophomore center Emily Vann (5.9 PPG, 6.5 RPG) will provide size and additional scoring in the block. 19. (28) Muir (Pasadena) 28-3 The Mustangs lose speedy point guard and leading scorer Cherrish Wallace (12.6 PPG,4.7 assist, 3.9 rebounds, 2.9 steals), now at Baylor, and senior guard Chrishawn Friese (8.4 PPG), but this is one of those teams we like mostly due to the return of one player and that player is 5-7 guard Eliza Pierre, who has signed with Cal and shares the same style of play with current Bear guard and former Oakland Tech (Oakland) bulldog point guard Alexis Gray-Lawson. Pierre stood out last season with 10.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 4.7 steals per game. She's also got another strong returnee to go with her in 6-1 center and Kentucky-bound Brittany Henderson, who averaged 10.7 points and 8.9 rebounds last season. From there it's a little thin for a team that lost by a single point, 40-39, in the Southern Regional championship to eventual Division III state runner-up Magnolia of Anaheim. 20. (38) Oak Ridge (El Dorado Hills) 27-6 This last spot could have gone to a number of top teams, including Carondelet of Concord, so the Trojans beating Carondelet on the road in the NorCal playoffs last year sticks in our craw. There's a lot of returning talent on hand as well. Junior guard Sara James is one of the top players in Northern California and averaged nearly 19 points per game as a sophomore. Others to Watch (On the Bubble) Ayala (Chino Hills) 30-6 Branson (Ross) 29-7 Carondelet (Concord) 26-4 Cathedral Catholic (San Diego) 26-4 Colony (Ontario) 27-3 Deer Valley (Antioch) 26-5 Great Oak (Temecula) 20-9 JSerra (San Juan Capistrano) 21-8 Kennedy (Sacramento) 27-7 La Jolla Country Day (La Jolla) 26-6 Los Osos (Rancho Cucamonga) 25-7 Marlborough (Los Angeles) 23-10 Mater Dei (Chula Vista) 21-6 Monte Vista (Danville) 25-3 Mt.

Girls of summer: Girls basketball final rankings  August 19, 2008 7:00 PM By Harold Abend The caravan put on almost 8,000 miles, there were two weeks of hotels and motels on the road trip, and we saw a total of eight events over a two month period. We started and ended close to home in the San Francisco Bay Area. The first stop on our schedule was the Golden Gate Shootout in San Rafael in mid-June. The last NCAA certified event was the Summer in the City held in Novato, and our final stop was the Back to School Shootout, August 15-17 at Chabot College in Hayward. In between, there were stops in Berkeley, San Diego, Las Vegas, and back to San Diego. All told, approximately 5,000 girls participated at events where we were present. Of those, we evaluated over 1,000 of the top performers to come up with the following list. We have eliminated girls from outside California even though quite a few were evaluated and their names appeared in previous Girls of Summer blogs. At our final stop in Hayward at the Back to School Shootout, St. Mary's of Berkeley won a battle of teams with Panthers as a mascot, defeating Pinewood (Los Altos Hills), 34-30, behind solid team defense and timely scoring by incoming sophomore Danielle Mauldin. Mauldin shared game-high scoring honors with Pinewood's Lindsay Nickel (2009), each depositing 10 points. Emily Vann (2011) helped seal the victory, leading a charged up St. Mary's defense that held Pinewood to two points in the game's final five minutes. With the conclusion of the Back to School Shootout, we finalized our summer girls' rankings and now present the top 170 girls of the 1,000 evaluated, For new readers and a reminder to old ones, we give a brief summary of the criteria for the ranking system used over the four years of our Girls of Summer feature. The main factor of the criteria is that this is for only those girls that were personally seen or where, in a very limited number of cases, college coaches and recruiters input was used are included. This is not an all-inclusive list. If a player you know isn't shown, it's probably because she was simply not seen. Among those we unfortunately didn't see were the St. Mary's of Stockton duo of Chelsea Gray and Afure Jemerigbe. This year, only girls we saw are on the list. We did, however, take input from several college coaches on some of top performers we only saw once to help equalize the fact we saw several of the top rated girls at two or three events and multiple games at each. Evaluation points are based on a dot system of four grading periods per girl, regardless of how many or how few times we see them play. A perfect score would be four dots per game or a total of 16 points. To earn a ranking, we don't have to see four grading periods but usually do at most events where there are five, six and even seven games. Anyone who can average two dots per grading period or 8 points has done a pretty good job in the areas of evaluation. The evaluation areas consist of speed and quickness with or without the ball; passing abilities; converting makeable shots and layups consistently; ability to pull up and hit the shot including the trey; range of shooting; free-throw shooting; defensive intensity, and body positioning and footwork on defense; stamina and endurance; teamwork; left and right hand abilities to shoot and dribble; blocking out and rebounding; winning attitude plus more. Last year Jasmine Dixon of Long Beach Poly, who is going to Rutgers this fall and was a two-time EA SPORTS All-American, was the top ranked girl with a 15.25 rating over the 2007 summer circuit. In 2006 Ms. Basketball Jeanette Pohlen of Brea Olinda (Brea) and now at Stanford and Vickie Baugh (Sacramento) and currently at Tennessee were tied with a 14.50 rating. The 2005 season had us evaluating nationwide talent as well as girls from California. Superstar Maya Moore from Georgia (currently starring at UConn) and Jasmine Thomas from Virginia (now at Duke) tied for the highest rating at an astonishing 15.5 out of 16.0. The top California girl that summer was Jayne Appel (Carondelet, Concord), currently starring at Stanford, with a 14.5 rating. Heading this year's list are four girls who tied at 14.50. Three are seniors and one is a sophomore. One is a post player, rated No. 20 in the class of 2009 by ESPNU Hoopgurlz, who has improved every aspect of her game; footwork, shooting with either hand, rebounding, shot blocking and overall defensive intensity. Plus she's not afraid to share the ball. Her prowess has earned her a scholarship to Southern California. The second girl, ranked No. 14 by ESPNU Hoopgurlz in the 2009 class has endured more pain than anyone should ever have to suffer. Not even the tragic murder of her father during halftime of a game against her team's league rival could deter her from achieving her's and her father's dream of this young woman earning a D1 scholarship and uplifting herself in life. On the floor, she can do many things well -- like taking a rebound in the air and before coming back down, softly dropping it in the basket for a deuce. The third girl is ranked No. 64 in the class of 2009. Her performance at the San Diego Classic, where she played all 280 minutes of her team's seven game run to the championship title, was remarkable. No wonder she is getting serious looks from Pac-10 schools such as Cal, Arizona, Arizona State, UCLA and USC, plus San Diego State. The last girl, who is on Hoopgurlz 2011 "watch list list of 13 girls nationwide, may end up being the best of them all before its said and done this coming season.
