Destiny Littleton just passed legendary Cheryl Miller in Calif. record book

[Carnac]

When you think of legendary names that are synonymous with women’s basketball, Cheryl Miller is among those at the top of the list, especially in Southern California.

The former Riverside Polytechnic star went on to win two national titles at USC and an Olympic gold medal and earn a spot in the Basketball Hall of Fame. Miller now has company when it comes to her prep career.

Destiny Littleton from Bishop’s High (La Jolla, Calif.) has passed Miller for No. 2 on the California state career scoring list. Littleton has 3,526 points and moved up with a 56-point effort last week in 20 minutes of action against Our Lady of Peace (San Diego). Miller had 3,449 from 1979 to 1982.

After passing Miller, Littleton then scored 50 against Scripps Ranch (San Diego). She had back-to-back games of 65 and 68 already this season and is averaging nearly 54 points through 11 games.

Chardé Houston has the California state record of 3,837 points at San Diego High from 2000-04 before playing at UConn. Like Miller, Littleton will play her college ball at USC. Unlike the 6-2 Miller, Littleton is a 5-9 guard.

Littleton averages 53.8 ppg this season on a team that averages around 95 ppg.
Same HS team that former USF wing Inga Orekhova played for.

Sounds like a Kelsey, Mitchell or Plum.

54 ppg is CRAZY!

Plum finished her career at La Jolla Country Day with 2247 points. Littleton already has 3500+

Cheryl Miller is one of the 5 best players of all time! She has that little brother too. Whats his name?

Destiny is becoming a popular name. I could imagine it being tough to grow up with a name like that.

From the article:
"Littleton averaged nearly 36 points per game last season after posting nearly 34 per game as a sophomore and 20 as a freshman. Her shooting percentage this season is at a career high at 57 percent from the field overall and 45 percent from three-point range. She shot 50 percent last season and 45 percent from three."

At first, I'm thinking ok DL must be a volume shooter with lower percentages on shots, and gets the ball the entire game. Then I read how her teammates can score too and push the score ahead, makes me think she shares the ball well. And after reading her current clips from the field and beyond the arc (let alone last season's stats) this girl sounds like the real deal.

At which school has she signed? Great get for that program and coach.
