Mea culpa on this.
Cheli in fact did return Saturday, coming off the bench for 19 points and 5 rebounds.
Folsom (26-6) opened the second half on a 15-8 run before Cheli got hot to stop the charge. The visitors made another run in the fourth quarter, cutting the margin to 72-66 with just under four minutes to play.
Cheli again put a stop to the rally, her 3-pointer stretching the lead back to nine.
...
Mitty wanted to keep Cheli’s minutes in the low 20s. But she exceeded that number because, well, she was needed.
Phillips was asked what her star showed in her return.
“Besides lights-out shooting, she brings a level of confidence to our group, some composure, the leadership,” Phillips said. “Understands our schemes, the other team, what they’re trying to take away. She’ll look to exploit that. Recognizes our team’s set of strengths and gets people the basketball where they can score and be at their best.”
