Girls Basketball:

Of the three Palomares League co-champions, no one finished stronger than did Bonita High School.

The Bearcats officially wrapped up their share of the league title with Thursday’s 56-24 victory over visiting Colony.

To get to this point, however, BHS needed consecutive wins on Friday and Tuesday over first-place co-leaders, Claremont and Glendora.

As far as Thursday goes, Amore Mason hit three 3’s and scored a game-high 20 points.

Cassie Upton had eight, Nicole Uballe seven, Maria Aguiar and Tressa Beatty chipped in with five points.

Five separate players had at least one 3-pointer for the Bearcats.

Up next: CIF will release the playoff pairings on Sunday at noon.
