The Poly girls’ basketball team played one of their best games of the year on Thursday, against an overwhelmed Stockdale team.  If they can keep from having a letdown tonight at 7pm against Summit, they’ll be punching their ticket for yet another SoCal Regional final—they are right now just three wins away from an historic fifth straight state championship.

The SkyHawks are a good team, but like most quality prep girls’ teams, they feature two good scorers, and then a supporting cast.  The players to watch for Summit are Adrianne Thomas (#14), the 5-9 senior guard who leads the team with 18 points per game, as well as 6 boards and 3 steals.  Her backup is post player Ana Brodie (#3), a 5-11 sophomore who also leads the team in rebounds, while putting up 11 a game.  The SkyHawks have a little height, but not enough to match Poly’s depth in the paint.

The biggest issue for them is that they can’t shoot the three—they’re under 30% on the season.  Not many teams in the country can beat Poly in the paint and mid-range game, if anyone.  If the Rabbits can play their game with consistency—even if not at the sky-high level they did on Thursday—they should be making travel plans to the Galen Center next weekend, to face the winner of Santa Monica/Clovis West.
