Richmond Salesian makes it at NorCal girls’ basketball sweep with win over Windward
Bragging rights and a trophy haul go to the boys’ and ladies’ basketball groups from Northern California, which proceeded to win the primary 5 video games of Friday night time’s CIF state championships at Golden 1 Heart.
Richmond Salesian gave Northern California a sweep of the three ladies’ video games with a surprisingly dominant 62-51 victory over Los Angeles Windward within the Division I championship sport.
Windward (23-11) had given a few of Southern California’s finest Open Division groups aggressive video games in latest weeks, however the Wildcats have been no match for Salesian (21-5) and significantly 6-foot-1 heart Silivia Fonongaloa, who bulldozed her approach to 18 factors and 11 rebounds.
Junior guard Skye Belker led Windward with 21 factors and senior guard Maya Stokes had 15 factors.
There’s discuss that a number of Northern California groups have been adequate to play in greater divisions. The Delight have been capable of draw back to win their first state title after Windward had closed to 26-25 early within the third quarter.
It was a difficult season for Windward, which misplaced its finest participant, Juju Watkins, within the offseason. She transferred to Chatsworth Sierra Canyon, which performs for the Open Division state title Saturday. And the Wildcats misplaced their coach, Vanessa Nygaard, who resigned through the season to turn into head coach of the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury.
Windward is anticipated to announce its subsequent coach this coming week. Ronald Cass stuffed in on an interim foundation and was capable of get the Wildcats a runner-up state end.
Division III
With the clock winding down and Oakland Tech clinging to a one-point lead, Mari Somvichian made a clutch three-pointer from the baseline with 21 seconds left to seal a 39-33 victory over Pasadena La Salle within the Division III championship sport.
A scoring drought by La Salle between the third and fourth quarters coupled with an 11-0 Oakland Tech run put the Lancers (31-3) down by six, however a backdoor layup by Audrey Chen made it 34-33 with 1:14 left. Chen completed with 13 factors and Ryann Riddle had 10 for La Salle.
“I’m pleased with the best way they competed,” stated La Salle coach Scott Wiard, who didn’t have two-time All-CIF participant Ellie Chen after her knee gave out earlier than the sport.
Division V
Yalee Schwartz sat behind the Shalhevet bench within the second half, her injured proper ankle closely taped and resting on a chair, her toenails lined with white nail polish. It was an harm 5 minutes into the sport that Shalhevet couldn’t get better from in a 38-27 loss to San Domenico within the Division V closing.
“Shedding our most dynamic participant within the first quarter form of took the wind out of our sails,” coach Ryan Coleman stated. “We have been in a bit of little bit of shock.”
Schwartz scored the primary two baskets for Shalhevet (23-7) till struggling her harm. Although Shalhevet held a 14-11 halftime lead, the Firehawks lacked rebounding and an inside sport with out the 5-foot-9 Schwartz.
“Hats off to San Domenico,” Coleman stated. “That’s the best-coached crew we’ve confronted.” Coach Mike Fulton gained two state titles beforehand teaching at Branson.
Shalhevet made simply six of 19 free throws and was three for 20 from three-point vary. Lily Reese led San Domenico with 12 factors. Summer season Jenkins had the game-changing basket with 2:11 left, making a steal, scoring and ending up a three-point play to show a four-point lead right into a seven-point cushion.

Deontay Wilder scared for Mike Tyson's well-being in Jake Paul fight: 'He’s too old for this'
From one former heavyweight title winner to another, Deontay Wilder fears 57-year-old Mike Tyson might end up in a coma after fighting Jake Paul.
Tyson shocked everyone when he agreed to fight Paul, which was commissioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations as a professional fight, on July 20.
What was initially an exhibition match has turned into a highly anticipated bout, but Wilder doesn’t think anyone truly cares about Tyson’s well-being.
“I think it’s bad the commission has licensed Mike Tyson because he hasn’t been active in 20 years, so they should not just license him because of who he is, that’s how people get hurt – God forbid he gets hurt,” Wilder said to Sportsbook Review.
“People can get hit in the wrong place and at the wrong time, there’s lots of examples where guys have been hit into a coma. It’s easy to do. He’s too old for this.
“At the end of the day, no one gives a f— about Mike.”
MIKE TYSON VS. JAKE PAUL BOXING MATCH OFFICIALLY SANCTIONED, WILL COUNT FOR PROFESSIONAL RECORDS
Wilder continued by saying he doesn’t care that Tyson underwent tests to deem this a professional fight.
“As long as you’re willing to suffer the consequences if something bad goes wrong,” Wilder said.
After the fight was sanctioned, Paul recently said he is “super respectful” of Tyson, but “All is fair in love and war.”
“I love the guy, but as soon as it turned into a pro fight, one of us has to die,” the YouTube star-turned-boxer said.
Videos of Tyson working out for the fight have shocked many with how fast and powerful he still looks at his age. But Wilder, again, doesn’t care what videos show or what Tyson even says about his well-being.
“His power may not have left completely, but you still need to set it up, your stamina needs to be a certain way, or it’s going to look like a clown show. I don’t want to see it to be honest,” he explained.
“I don’t want the last thing I remember of him is him getting knocked out by a YouTuber. The last thing you do, that’s what people remember you by.”
While Paul and Tyson prepare for their fight, Wilder will be fighting Zhilei Zhang on June 1.

Giants legends Lawrence Taylor, Ottis Anderson speak at Donald Trump's Jersey Shore campaign rally
Nearly 40,000 people were in Wildwood, N.J., Saturday for a Donald Trump campaign rally, and one of those spectators was arguably the greatest defensive player of all time.
New York Giants legend Lawrence Taylor was spotted at the Jersey Shore rally.
Assemblyman Paul Kanitra from New Jersey’s 10th legislative district saw his “favorite player growing up” at the rally.
Those in attendance got a surprise when Taylor and former Giants teammate Ottis Anderson spoke on stage.
“I grew up a Democrat, and I’ve always been a Democrat, until I met this man right here,” Taylor said to cheers. “Nobody in my family ever will vote for a Democrat again.”
L.T. is widely regarded as the greatest linebacker to ever play. He was a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, including in his rookie season.
He won two Super Bowls, made 10 straight Pro Bowls and was named the MVP of the 1986 season. He also remains the franchise’s all-time sacks leader, which includes his 9½ sacks from his rookie season, before sacks became a stat.
This came despite a lavish lifestyle off the field, which resulted in legal troubles after his playing days.
Many attendees who spoke to Fox News said they believe Trump could flip the Garden State in November, when he hopes to take back the White House for a second term.
Rod Delaine, an Amazon factory worker in Staten Island who lives in New Jersey, told Fox News Digital he drove nearly 2½ hours to attend the rally.
LIONS ROOKIE SAYS HE CHOSE NO. 0 BECAUSE ‘AIN’T NOBODY LIKE ME’
A New Jersey schoolteacher who identified herself as Anna said she was motivated to attend because of the state of the economy.
Another supporter, who identified himself as Carlos, said he believed the country needed to return to the way things were under the former president.
“I think this country needs to change. Although, we already know what Trump’s all about. So, that change is just going to come right back to us because that’s what we need,” Carlos said. “We need Trump because I don’t think Biden is just getting the job done right now. Some of it’s his fault. Some of it is probably the people around him. But I think we need Trump back to get this country back to where it needs to be.”
