Seven area girls teams crack state's Top 50

As expected San Francisco Sacred Heart Cathedral Prep finished first in the final studentsports.com CIF-state rankings.

The Fightin' Irish (33-0) overcame (to some extent) the emotional jolt of star player Tierra Rogers having her father Terrell Rogers shot and killed across from the SH gym at halftime of a victory against Archbishop Mitty. Rogers made the game-winning basket in the final 10 seconds in the NorCal title game.

Numerous Inland Empire teams made the Top 50. They were:

5. Miller, CIF-SS Division II-AA champions. Returns sophomore star Chloe Wells, the DII-A player of year.

7. Cajon, CIF-SS DII-A champs. Returns four of five starters, including section POY Layshia Clarendon and top rebounder Darshae Burnside.

26. Ayala, CIF-SS DII-A runners-up.

27. Perris, lost to Cajon is CIF-SS semifinals

33. Summit (30-3, won 27 consecutive games). Returns everyone.

42. Colony, won CIF-SS D III-A title

49. Etiwanda (23-8)
