Her season-ending injury has a cascading series of impacts, both for her, for the Mitty program and beyond. It would not be out of line to suggest that, in the pantheon of outstanding female basketball players produced in Northern California over the last 40 or so years, she has to be ranked among the best we've seen here, at least so far. She is a stunning prospect, tall, quick, agile, selfless and coachable by all accounts, one of the finest in the nation to be sure. Able to play any position, she is one of those rare basketball gems who, by her very presence on both ends of the floor, combined with her athletic abilities, makes her teammates better. That's the hallmark of greatness at any level of the sport. Losing her for the rest of this season _ and who knows how long heading into the next _ is a huge blow to all concerned. Without her, Mitty becomes very good, not great, not top-tier, not a nationally-ranked, elite powerhouse. She is that good, that dominant in so many ways. Oh, lest we forget, she is also a fabulous softball player, a smooth shortstop who is a college prospect in that sport too. We can only hope that she will fully recover from this injury and return to the basketball court (and maybe the softball field) sometime during the 2025-26 school year.

Pick a good academic school as you never know when it could end.
Sue Phillips has been playing a top nine that has no seniors. Without junior Wolizcko, Mitty will rotate 8 players that will return next season. If McKenna returns next season, the Monarchs will be loaded. Actually, it will force the two sophs and the freshman to take on bigger roles which force them to improve their respective games. Archbishop Mitty also has three good senior guards on this year's team, too.
Statewide CIF open title? yeah, agree. NorCal open title? that injury is tough, but to say a team as deep and talented and well coached as that has "zero" chance? Very premature. Gimme some of that action.
That’s not what he or she is saying.. Mitty is still basically a lock to represent NorCal but they are saying NorCal has zero chance of winning open and they are right.
Their JV would be a good varsity team in most leagues.
The level of talent and coaching at Mitty is off the charts. Our JVs are 12-1. Our only loss? To Mitty's freshman team, by 16. We scrimmaged their JVs and lost 56-8. If they had pressed for more than three possessions, they could have named the score.

It's a common mistake. If you visit any number of gyms in the Southern Section, banners there declare "CIF Champion" when, in fact, they are actually referring to section titles, not actual state crowns.
