SIERRA CANYON OPEN DIV CHAMPS
The Sierra Canyon girls basketball team cannot be stopped.
The Trailblazers won their first ever Southern Section Open Division championship Saturday night after a 70-57 victory against Etiwanda at Honda Center in Anaheim.
Not only did Sierra Canyon avenge last year’s loss in the same game, the Trailblazers improved their record to 30-0. A remarkable feat.
JuJu Watkins, headed to USC, scored 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead Sierra Canyon, which lost in the 2019 Open final against Windward before coming back to win the Open state title like it did last year.
Izela Arenas scored 19 points and Mackenly Randolph had 17 points and 11 rebounds.
Sierra Canyon will be the top-seed for the state tournament that starts Wednesday for the Open Division.
