3/4

Jillian Hollingshead had 11 points and 14 rebounds as Holy Innocents won the Private Class A state title Wednesday.

Shay Bollin had 24 points, 14 rebounds, and 4 blocks to help Bridgewater-Raynham into a sectional final.

Shay Bollin after her big playoff semifinal. She has the kind of confident grit that Geno knows the program has been lacking lately.

Road Warrior and I made a last-minute decision to go to the Middletown game tonight. They beat Oakdale by 60-39 to win the sectional (?) championship. I think Saylor had 26 points and bunches of rebounds, blocks, assists, and steals. She's really good. Look for more in the Saylor Live and in Person thread.

3/4

Saylor Poffenbarger: 27 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 6 blocks

Middletown moves on to the state playoffs.

Pheesa 2.0

Aaliyah Edwards putting on a show today at the Ontario SBA championships. Video clips below.


Let's start with the turnaround, fadeaway. Not something you see much in the women's game. Napheesa had it, but not many can do this.

Then there's the seal, catch, and finish in the post in the second vid. Again, terrific post skills.

Finally, a drive into the lane with a flip-shot finish:

Only the 2nd half of the game is available:

I well understand the excitement and anticipation regarding the arrival of Paige. I, too, am looking forward to her impact on the roster but the incoming recruit I am most interested in seeing is Aaliyah Edwards. A taller PG and PF is something that I believe will greatly enhance the line-up sooner rather than later.

You won't find a bigger Edwards cheerleader than me. I wanted her at UConn for nearly a year. Her skill, athleticism, frame, IQ, and effort level will make her a star.

Recent history, the highest touted prospects have not been leading their teams to State Championships in Washington.

Piath Gabriel: 18 points, 17 rebounds

Bradford Christian on to the sectional semis.

3/4

Judea Watkins led Windward into the regional semis yesterday.


Watkins, just a freshman, scored 12 of her 20 points in the fourth quarter, coming up clutch when Windward needed her most.

“She has big-game blood,” Windward coach Vanessa Nygaard said. “She’s learning a lot. It’s easy to forget that she is still just a freshman and she makes errors, but she has got something special.”

Sierra Canyon girls basketball derailed in regionals by Windward’s stunning comeback

Windward overcomes a 10-point deficit with five minutes left to end the season for Sierra Canyon in the first round of the SoCal Regional playoffs.

Hopkins playoff game on right now:

 

[Sluconn Husky]

3/5

Paige Bueckers: 33 points (10-19 FG, 2-4 3-PT, 11-11 FT), 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 blocks

Hopkins is off to the state tourney with probably their toughest foe behind them.

 

[Huskee11]

Hopkins 86 - Wayzata 76. Paige with some big plays and free throws down the stretch.

I only watched the last six minutes or so but the quality of play was extremely high for high school basketball. A lot of Division I talent on the floor.

Some of the Minnesota Timberwolves were in the house.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Paige is clutch!

3/5

Paige Bueckers: 33 points (10-19 FG, 2-4 3-PT, 11-11 FT), 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 blocks

Hopkins is off to the state tourney with probably their toughest foe behind them.

What was wrong? Did she only play 3 quarters?

I love the quote I saw earlier from her coach:" When plan A doesn't work then we go to plan P"
