Girls Basketball:

One of GHS’ most remarkable careers came to an end on Saturday night.

Riverside Poly outscored the Tartans by 12 in the second half, and left Glendora with a 64-59 victory in the second round of the CIF-SS Division 2A playoffs.

GHS point guard, Hailey Schaffer, scored 23 points in her final prep game.

She became one of seven to ever reach the 1,000-point club, and her versatility made her incredibly special.

Brianna Gomez chipped in with 12 points and Rylie Anderson had eight.

Sydnee Salcedo had a game-high 27 points for Riverside Poly.

Jenna Lopez provided 13 points in Saturday’s win.

Quotable:

Glendora coach, Adam Nunemaker: “I was blessed to coach a very special group of young ladies this season and it is unfortunate that had it to come to an end tonight. We won our fourth league championship in six years this season and the future is bright.”
