First up is D4 with Cardinal Newman and Antelope Valley.
State Championship Saturday
- Thread starter Streak One
- Start date
Cardinal Newman leads 13-9 with 14 seconds left in Q1. Cardinals aren't intimidated by big stage.
They need to go inside (Newman) to many 3's early. Hard to shoot in a big gym. Newman really struggling in 2nd.
Cardinal Newman just got its second shot inside from its 6-3 and 6-5 players. The only girl over 6-0 for Antelope Valley has three fouls. It's 29-23 right now, but it's hard to grasp why Newman doesn't throw the ball to the block more.
Antelope is scrappy and they seem to make there defense into offensive. If Newman takes care of the ball they are getting good looks. Keep going into Walker and vice.
Cardinal Newman used a 12-0 run to get back into the game. Lead Antelope Valley 33-31 with 56 seconds left in Q3
Newman looking much better in the 3rd. If they take care of the ball and keep this pace it will be there game to lose in the 4th. Walker is really a defensive stopper. She must have 6 blocks or more.
CN has only given up 7 points in the second half. They lead Antelope Valley 38-31 with 451 left in Q4.
I can't believe Newman hasn't broken this press one time for a layup. This game shouldn't be this close.
Lowest scoring D4 girls game in state history. Big defensive effort for CN in holding Antelope Valley to 13 second half points.
He appeared to be subbing defense for defensive situations and the same for offense.....
Elk Grove leads El Cajon 29-27 with 330 left in Q3. Back and forth game. Mira Shulman doing some nice things for Elk Grove
Congratulations to Cardinal Newman. I think teams who care more about winning percentage than advancing in the post season should take notice. They scrimmaged SMS, Clovis West, Vanden and St.Francis. Foundation game versus Miramonte. In season Sacred Heart Cathedral, Eastside Prep, Clovis, Inderkum, Palisades, Mcclatchy. They were better prepared today than Antelope Valley. They did not play zone, they were in help. AV did not make any adjustments. The CN girls were completely engaged with their coach, AV was not. CN has shot a lot of 3's all year and their bigs do a great job getting offensive boards. Remember the 6'3 girl did make 4 3's today. AV was in foul trouble, that was not panic by the coach it was offense for defense. Congratulations CN, great work.
Elk Grove was scoreless for the first 6-7 minutes of the fourth quarter. Long scoring droughts doomed them today.
El Cajon had 11-0 and 19-0 runs.
El Cajon wins 55-36. Gave up 65 total points in the regional and state games.
