The Rebels used tight defense and just enough offense to win their second straight CIF title, taking out Los Osos 51-40. There seemed to be a lid on the Los Osos basket in the fourth, as the Grizzlies only scored four points in the final 6:16 of the game. Star center Cierra Warren battled foul trouble throughout, fouling out with 3:18 left.
Los Osos has scored 6 of the first 9 points of the fourth to move within 43-36. Michelle Dobbs just hit a pair of free throws before a Grizzly timeout.
A 16-3 run to end the third period has the Rebels up 40-30 going into the fourth. Los Osos started the period out well, scoring the first five points to take a 27-24 lead, but the Rebels awoke with consecutive 3-pointers by Chloe Wells and Lola Wells. Tamicka Mackall ended the third with a trey as well for Miller.
Shineque Phillips’ layup with roughly 10 seconds left in the first half gives Miller a 24-22 lead at halftime. Los Osos’ offense settled down and committed far fewer turnovers in the second period, while the Miller 3-point shooting has been non-existent, as the Rebels only have one trey.
Both Cierra Warren (Los Osos) and Brianna Hall (Miller) are in foul trouble with 3 each. Lola Wells leads Miller with 10 points, while Michelle Dobbs has five for the Grizzlies.
Los Osos scored the last four points of the first quarter to pull within 14-8. However, the Grizzlies have been forced into nine turnovers already.
Rebels up 13-4 with 2:05 left in the first quarter. Cierra Warren received two fouls in the first 1:08 and is on the bench.
