I told most this year, Etiwanda is primed and focused on winning another title this year, but most followed their favorite and were dissapointed. My prediction is that they will repeat next year as well, because they are only losing four seniors and everyone else is returning, gonna be hard to beat next year as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Seniors:</strong>&nbsp;<strong>[player_tooltip player_id='390502' first='Jada' last='Taylor']</strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/jada-taylor/"></a>&nbsp;, Alexus Finley, Jada Sanders,&nbsp;<strong>[player_tooltip player_id='104797' first='Kennedy' last='Smith']</strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/kennedy-smith/"></a>&nbsp;,&nbsp;<strong>[player_tooltip player_id='645565' first='Sania' last='Jenkins']</strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/sania-jenkins/"></a>&nbsp;, Mykelle Richards and&nbsp;<strong>[player_tooltip player_id='166836' first='Ryann' last='Riddle']</strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/ryann-riddle/"></a><br><strong>Juniors:</strong>&nbsp;<strong>[player_tooltip player_id='393740' first='Aliyahna' last='Morris']</strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/aliyahna-morris/"></a>&nbsp;,&nbsp;<strong>[player_tooltip player_id='761239' first='Grace' last='Knox']</strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/grace-knox/"></a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>[player_tooltip player_id='393735' first='Layla' last='Harris']</strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/layla-harris/"></a><br><strong>Sophomores:</strong>&nbsp;<strong>[player_tooltip player_id='574394' first='Arynn' last='Finley']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>#2: Archbishop Mitty HS (30-1), (12-0) West Catholic League; CCS Girls Basketball Open Division Champions 2023 &amp; 2024, Regional Open Division Champions 2023 &amp; 2024; CIF State Open Division Finalist 2023 &amp; 2024</strong>;&nbsp;</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Archbishop Mitty High School, located in San Jose, California, is known for its successful girls' basketball program.
