In the opening game of league play versus Lake Oswego, she put up a complete game with 8 points, 7 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks, and in a recent huge test against Oregon City, Padilla had a crucial 12 points and 5 rebounds to help secure the win. In her increased role, Padilla will continue to shine the rest of this season.
