I did a live blog for the Sunny Hills-Troy game on Thursday at Troy High. Here’s how it all went down:
LIVE FROM TROY HIGH
I have the Mobile OCVarsity Press Row set up at Troy High for the Freeway League showdown between Sunny Hills (11-7, 3-0) and Troy (14-4, 3-0). Sole possession of first place in league is at stake. The Freeway League title is always a battle down to the wire.
Here we go.
Sunny Hills is not messing around in the top of the first.
Nebraska-bound Marjani Knighten leads off the game with a single and steal second.
Madi Cruse with a grounder to short and they try to get MJ at third … No way! MJ is way to fast and everybody is safe.
MJ’s lil’ sis, Marshaylee Knighten, who has committed to Oklahoma, singles to drive in her big sis.
Amber Elliott flies out. One down.
Jennifer Brubaker singles and … THE BASES ARE JUICED!!!
Sarah Wilson delivers an RBI single and … THE BASES ARE STILL JUICED!!!
Santa Margarita senior Lauren Rodriguez scored two goals and recorded an assist to lead the South All-Stars to a 5-1 victory over the West All-Stars in the 37th annual Senior Showcase Sunday at Servite High.
Rodriguez was named the game’s MVP.
Sydnie Zuccolotto (Dana Hills) tallied two goals for the South, with Beckman’s Nikki Martino adding a goal.
Troy’s Rachael Wix scored the lone goal of the match for the West All-Stars.

After blazing through the first couple rounds of predictions, I struggled with my picks for the water polo semifinals, going just 5-3. The picks don’t get any easier for what should be a great Saturday of water polo finals. But I’m to press on and finish what I started:
Division 1
Newport def. CdM (I wonder if the Sailors peaked in the semifinals but I still like the Sailors’ strength at 2-meter offense and defense and in goal with Harrington. And despite their 8-5 victory against Santa Barbara, they can shoot better than they did in the semifinals. The Haralabidis twins are difference-makers who can raise their games, so the Sea Queens will be make this a one-goal game. Key matchup to watch: Outside shooters Cassidy Papa, Stephania Haralabidis vs. Cleo Harrington. The potential loss of Maddie Musselman (injured) also is a big factor.)
SATURDAY’S CIF-SS GIRLS WATER POLO FINALS
All games at William Woollett Jr. Aquatics Center, Irvine
DIVISION 4
LA SERNA OF WHITTIER (21-10) VS. TROY (24-8 ), 1:30 p.m.
Outlook: The Warriors have reached the finals for the first time but have plenty of CIF championship experience on their coaching staff. Coach Jason Wilson guided Sonora to a CIF Division 6 title in 2008 while assistant Jim Crowther guided La Habra to a pair of CIF runner-up finishes (2008 to Wilson, 2009). Both are former Register coaches of the year.
Here’s the schedule for Saturday’s CIF girls water polo championships at the William Woollett Jr. Aquatics Center in Irvine:
Session 1
Division 7: Ocean View vs. Hemet, 9:20 a.m.
Division 6: Pacifica vs. Yorba Linda, 10:30 a.m.
Division 3: Los Osos vs. Palos Verdes, 11:40 a.m.
WEDNESDAY’S CIF-SS GIRLS WATER POLO SEMIFINALS
DIVISION 4
TROY (23-8 ) VS. LOS ALTOS
Site, time: Brenda Villa Aquatic Center, Commerce, 3:30 p.m.
Outlook: The second-seeded Warriors are looking to reach the finals after falling to Los Osos of Rancho Cucamonga, 15-11, in last season’s Division 4 semifinals. In the way is third-seeded Los Altos and prolific scorer Stephanie Contreras.
Here’s the semifinal schedule for Orange County’s girls water polo teams Wednesday (the county could be represented in as many as five divisional finals Saturday – which would shatter the county record of three divisions):
Division 1 at Woollett
CdM-Foothill, 5 (OCVarsity spotlight game)
Santa Barbara-Newport, 6:45
Division 2 at Woollett
Santiago/Corona-Mater Dei, 5
El Toro-Santa Margarita, 6:30 (OCVarsity spotlight game)
Troy jumped on Brea Olinda early, as the Warriors took a 14-3 lead after the 1st quarter, on way to an easy 52-30 victory.
Troy was led by Briana Roberson with 21 points.
