Hannah Lising has 35 points and Alyssa Jaime makes a critical free throw in double overtime to lift the Parrots past LACES for City Division I title.
Alyssa Jaime stole the ball, was fouled, and made the second of two free throws to put Sun Valley Poly up by three points with 7.1 seconds left in overtime and the fourth-seeded Parrots held on to defeat Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies 67-64 in the City Section Division I girls’ basketball final Saturday afternoon at Pasadena City College. It was Jaime’s only point of the game, but perhaps her team’s most crucial of all.
Senior guard Sofia Cruz scored 11 points, sophomore forward Jhada Cordon had 10 and freshman guard Audrey Flores added eight for Poly. Senior guard Maya Sano scored 15 points, junior guard Katie Chiba added 13 and senior forward Moka Tsukino had 12 for the third-seeded Unicorns , who were after their seventh section crown and second in Division I.
Poly was making its third appearance in a title game, having lost the Division III final to Legacy in 2015 and the Division II final to San Fernando in 2021.
