California high school basketball state championships: “For whatever reason our mindset was not where it needed to be,” Mitty coach says.

Archbishop Mitty’s Morgan Cheli , Belle Bramer , and Tee McCarthy comfort each other while walking back to the locker room after losing to Etiwanda in the CIF Open Division state championship game at Golden 1 Center Golden 1 Center in Sacramento on Saturday night. SACRAMENTO – Greatness doesn’t need introductions. You have it or you don’t. This season’s Archbishop Mitty girls basketball team had it.

Sue Philips, Mitty’s Hall of Fame coach, said during her postgame news conference that nobody on her team is happy about finishing second, that there are no moral victories. But like Windward-Los Angeles in 2013 and a Miramonte team led by future WNBA superstar Sabrina Ionescu in 2016, which also brought perfect records to the Open Division state final, Mitty didn’t leave Sacramento with the championship.Twenty-five years ago, a Mitty team led by future McDonald’s All-American Rometra Craig – the daughter of former 49ers star running back Roger Craig – captured the Division I state championship to finish 31-0.

The Monarchs entered the state final having played just one game all season decided by single digits and five decided by 20 points or fewer. They had scored 2,338 points and allowed 1,120 for an average margin of victory that was 40.6 points. “Pressure? No,” she said. “We’ve won 16 NorCal titles. The question that should be asked is, ‘What are you guys doing to keep getting here?’ That’s the question that needs to be asked. We keep coming here. The fact we fell short, well, we fell short.
