SACRAMENTO — With one quick Jordin Blackmon flurry, this one was essentially over.

Blackmon finished with a game-high 15 points and Cyria Coleman added 14 as the Knights (23-5) won their seventh state title (against one defeat), but their first since 2003.
Jayla Stokes had 11 points for O'Dowd (24-7), which battled back all night but cold shooting (15 of 57) cost the Dragons.
