Aisia Robertson – Basketball – Senior

   With Asha Thomas sidelines for much of the season, the Dragons morphed into Aisia Robertson’s team. She was the senior leader and go-to star through the first two months, so it was no surprise — even with Thomas once again sharing the backcourt with her — the Kansas-bound guard took things over in the second half of the CIF Division III Girls State Championship on March 27. 

Bishop O’Dowd – Basketball – Senior

   With Asha Thomas sidelines for much of the season, the Dragons morphed into Aisia Robertson’s team. She was the senior leader and go-to star through the first two months, so it was no surprise — even with Thomas once again sharing the backcourt with her — the Kansas-bound guard took things over in the second half of the CIF Division III Girls State Championship on March 27. Robertson scored a team-high 16 points and added eight rebounds, five assists and two steals. She also committed just one turnover while playing 28 of a possible 32 minutes. With Robertson leading the way, the Dragons outscored Brea Olinda 18-9 in the third quarter and never looked back on their way to a 55-40 victory. 

   WHAT HER OPPONENT SAID: “She’s probably the best guard we’ve seen all year,” Brea Olinda coach Jeff Sink said. “She’s the total package. Her athleticism is off the scale. She’ll be a great college player, and if she keeps developing her outside range, I think we could see her in the WNBA”

Honorable Mention: 

   Chris Hansen: Campolindo’s senior post player closed out his career with a monster double-double of 25 points and 14 rebounds in 70-57 a Div. III state finals loss to Damien-La Verne.

   Madeline Holland: Archbishop Mitty’s sophomore guard scored eight points to go along with a game-high 13 rebounds as the Monarchs won the Div. II state championship 53-31 over Mark Keppel-Alhambra. 

   Keith Smith: San Ramon Valley’s senior point guard scored a team-high 20 points and added eight assists and six rebounds to lead the Wolves to a 79-71 double-overtime Div. I state championship victory over Chino Hills.
