From LBPOSTSports.com: After an objective analysis, it has not in fact been all that hard to be a Jackrabbit the last few years, especially not if you’re a fan of the Poly girls’ basketball team, which last night won its fourth-straight Division I state championship with a 57-33 thumping of Monte Vista—it’s the first time a team has ever won four straight Div. I state titles.
They did it by correcting the mistakes that had plagued them for much of the CIF and state playoff brackets—they executed in the paint, they broke a low zone, they got their opponent’s star into foul trouble and kept her there, and they didn’t turn the ball over. In fact, the Jackrabbits had nearly 20 fewer turnovers in the first half of the state title game than they did in last Saturday’s regional championship. Perhaps more impressively, they finally finished their foe off—time after time, against Santiago, against Troy, against Troy again, Poly would get a lead and let it slip away. But after taking just a two point lead into halftime, the ‘Rabbits came out firing in the second half, outscoring the Mustangs 38-16 down the stretch.
