The Trailblazers defeated Santa Ana Mater Dei 59-47 to advance to the Open Division girls' basketball regional championship game Tuesday.
Mater Dei was able to turn up the pressure in the second half after falling behind by 19 points at halftime, getting as close as 11 points. Juju Watkins & Co. stepped forward when needed for the Trailblazers. Watkins finished with 26 points and 13 rebounds and Izela Arenas made a critical three-pointer in the fourth quarter to derail Mater Dei‘s comeback hopes.
Mackenly Randolph added 13 points for Sierra Canyon, which needs one more win to earn a trip to the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento to play for a second consecutive state championship on March 11.Kiernan used to coach Sierra Canyon coach Alicia Komaki when she played at Fullerton Troy. Komaki became an assistant under Kiernan, the winningest girls’ coach in California history. Now Komaki has the Trailblazers poised to make history. She appreciated the challenge Mater Dei offered.
“You should get challenged in the Open Division in state,” she said. “We want to be challenged. We want to see everybody’s best.” Mater Dei‘s future should be good, since freshman Kael Wynn provided a lift by making three three-pointers.
