SIERRA CANYON CIF CHAMPS
Sierra Canyon knocks off Ontario Christian for Open Division girls’ basketball title
Not too many “experts” believed Sierra Canyon could win Saturday night’s Southern Section Open Division girls’ basketball final against defending champion and top-seeded Ontario Christian.
However, Jerzy Robinson and her teammates sure did. Led by their South Carolina-bound senior, the Trailblazers won the upper division title for the second time in four seasons with a gritty 69-62 victory at Toyota Arena in Ontario.
The Trailblazers outscored the Knights 7-0 over the final four minutes as Robinson sank two free throws to give the Trailblazers a 64-62 lead before leading a fast break where she found Delaney White for a dagger 3-pointer and a 67-62 advantage.
Sierra Canyon (29-2) outscored Ontario Christian 18-6 in the final period as Robinson finished with a game-high 32 points. She was 9 of 19 from the field and 11 of 15 from the free throw line.
