Madeleine Gates blocked 113 shots this season, an average of 2.8 per game. She piled up 217 defensive rebounds and 125 offensive rebounds for a total of 342 rebounds, an average of 11 per game. Add this to her "elite" kill statistics in volleyball last fall, and you have some fun numbers to play with.

Sophie Sowers potted 215 three-point shots in four years of high school basketball. She plunked in her 80th three-pointer of the season with 2:43 left to tie the CIF Finals 46-46 against Central Union of Imperial Valley March 8. "She holds the La Jolla HS record for most 3's in a game (8), most 3's in a season (81) [last year] and most 3's in a career (215)," emailed her dad, Tom Sowers.

Long-braided Sophie Sowers (13) demonstrated a
new ability this season to drive to the basket. She
was forced to develop this when Coach Dave
Westhem handed her more of the ball-handling
duties. (Photo by Ed Piper)
