Long Beach Poly wins state, Dominguez stumbles

Poly is the first team to obtain a 3 peat since Point Loma (85-87).
Poly  held Berkeley to only 22.9% shooting as they cruised to a 55-31  victory.  Washington State-bound guard April Cook held Berkeleys  Jazmine Perkins, who is also headed to Washington State, to seven points  on 3-for-16 shooting, and 10 turnovers.  Cook finished the game with 12  points and seven steals.
Polys Jasmine Dixon, who was named the  Gatorade California Player of the Year, and who is headed to Rutgers,  finished her stellar career with a team high 17 points and 10 rebounds.
The game was a route from the beginning.  Poly, ranked No. 3 in the  nation by USA Today, jumped out to a 28-11 lead in the second quarter.   By the fourth quarter they were clearing their bench.
This team  will go down as Polys best and they are one of the best girls team  ever in the State of California.
In the boys section Dominguez was  looking to continue the dominance of Southern California over Northern  California.  So Cal teams have won every State title this decade.  But  this year the north finally broke through as Oakland McClymonds  completed their undefeated season with a 73-54 victory over Dominguez.
McClymonds  was routed by Fairfax 54-29 in last years title game, but this year  they were much better on both sides of the ball.  They shot 47%, and  held Dominguez to 32%.  Last year McClymonds was held to only 22%  shooting against Fairfax.
Dominguezs Jordan Hamilton finished the  game with 22 points.
Dominguez had a great season with victories  over three state champions.  They defeated Santa Ana Mater Dei (Division  II), Santa Margarita (Division III), and North Hollywood Campbell Hall  (Division IV).
