Photos: Archbishop Mitty, nation's No. 1 girls basketball team, wins 32nd CIF Central Coast Section title
Just how good is the nation's No. 1 girls basketball team?
Down two starters — including McDonald's All-American Morgan Cheli — the Archbishop Mitty Monarchs from San Jose (Calif.) won their 32nd Central Coast Section title — by 44 points.
The Monarchs doubled up a very good St. Ignatius team from San Francisco, 88-44, at Santa Clara University's Leavey Center Friday night.
McKenna Woliczko showed why she’s one of the top sophomores in the nation with 30 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks, Bucknell commit Elana Weisman scored 15 of her 16 in the first half and eight other Monarchs found the scoresheet, with sophomore Emma Cook and freshman Tee McCarthy scoring 10 points apiece while Jordan Bowar dished out 11 assists.
UConn commit Cheli and Lehigh-bound Belle Bramer were out with nagging injuries but should be back for the first round of Northern California regional play. The Monarchs (28-0) are two or three wins (depends if they receive a bye) from facing likely one of two Southern California national powers, Etiwanda or Sierra Canyon.
Etiwanda, No. 3 in the country, made quite a statement of its own Friday with a 65-44 win over Sierra Canyon for the CIF Southern Section title.
