Mitty girls basketball jumps to No. 1 after epic championship winArchbishop Mitty, which entered the season as the unquestioned best girls basketball program in the Bay Area, is now considered the top team in America according to MaxPreps, jumping from No. 3 to first after sweeping the prestigious Nike Tournament of Champions. The San Jose private school was expected to take the top spot after slipping past previous No. 1 Long Island Lutheran in a 73-72 thriller on national television. Led by 17 points and 10 assists by UConn commit Morgan Cheli, and a team-high 22 points from five-star sophomore McKenna Woliczko, Mitty took the lead with 16 seconds left in the game. “Technically we had nothing to lose, but for us, we all had the mindset we were going to win anyway,” Woliczko told the Bay Area News Group after the game. The Monarchs (7-0) also beat Miami Country Day, Xavier College Prep and Crestwood-Canada by double-digits to reach the championship showdown. Long Island Lutheran dr...

Kurtenbach: Draymond Green’s suspension has been a good thing for the Warriors. It might be a good thing for Green, too

Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 07:20:33 GMT

Draymond Green’s indefinite suspension might have been the best thing to happen to the Warriors this season.And in a twisted way, it might have been the best thing to happen to Green, too.With the forward out of the lineup, Dubs coach Steve Kerr has been forced to play — and trust — the team’s young players, and they have provided both positive energy and positive play.The win over the Celtics was no fluke. Sticking with Denver for all but the final few minutes (blame the altitude… or the refs) can’t be ignored, either. With Brandin Podziemski as a starter, Trayce Jackson-Davis as the team’s center of choice, and Jonathan Kuminga as an offensive focal point, the Warriors won five of their seven games without Green, including five in a row before Christmas.The young Warriors have helped this team find its identity — Golden State is scrappy, smart, and small.It’s reminiscent of the vibe the Warriors found at the end of the 2020-2021 season.This time...
