Girls Basketball:
One day after Christmas, La Salle senior Kaden Cortes made some impressive school history.
The Lancers guard scored 12 first-half points, including half of her program’s four 3-pointers.
That led LSHS to a 61-28 victory over La Serna in the first round of the Glendora Tournament.
Those 12 points put her exactly at the 1,000-point mark for her career.
Perhaps even more special, though, Cortes was part of the program’s 98th win.
That is more than any player in school history.
La Salle took a 35-14 lead into the break and the outcome was never in doubt.
Casey Higgins scored a game-high 13 points.
Aislin Tamez Torres chipped in with nine points and Maddy Chiang had six.
Ellie Martinez led La Serna with 10 points.
Martinez tied Cortes with a game-high two 3-pointers.
Kaylee Carreno scored six points in the loss.
Up next: The Lancers face Summit on Friday night at 8.
Quotable:
La Salle coach, Scott Wiard: “Kaden has been an important part of our program her entire career. She has started every game, and has provided some of her biggest moments in the biggest games, including leading us in scoring in the semifinal and championship games in 2023. She achieved these accomplishments by being one of our hardest workers and one of the best teammates I’ve ever coached. She is loved by her teammates for being kind and caring. I’m so proud of her and look forward to a great finish to her high school career.”
