GRR: HS Girls
Fallbrook has been wearing a target for the previous five years – the consequence of winning consecutive girls high school national championships – but in 2015, that mark seemed closer than usual. The Warriors lost a couple of tournament games in March, the SoCal league was providing inconsistent competition, and the team was chasing the development curve.
Southern California has named the pool of players who will comprise the varsity and junior varsity Griffins teams.
It’s tempting to rely too heavily on a scoreline in telling the story of a match, and in the girls high school Oregon state championship, the 38-36 final does say a lot. Yes, the Beaverton vs. Grant was a tight, back-and-forth affair, but it was nearly a blowout.
The Valkyries knew it was going to be a special year, but the Pennsylvania team had something to prove heading into last weekend’s girls high school state championship.
Fallbrook and South Bay played two very different styles in their respective national finals, but they were incredibly effective in producing big wins.
