HIGH SCHOOL ROUNDUP : GIRLS’ BASKETBALL

Palomar League

Mt. Carmel 67, Rancho Buena Vista 48--A week ago, Mt. Carmel scored its biggest victory of the year, a 60-57 decision over top-ranked Poway. Then the Sundevils had two letdowns--but still won--57-35 over Torrey Pines and 41-27 over Orange Glen--before getting it together against RBV.

The Sundevils (12-3, 7-1) spent 90 minutes at practice on Wednesday talking about their season.

“I was racking my brain, ‘How could a team that was so unified a week earlier be falling apart?’ ” Johnson said. “My answer was that there were different types of jealousies and concentrating too much on the ‘I’ instead of the ‘We.’

“We spent a lot of time just talking about what’s happened since the Poway win and mainly about changing our attitude and getting that attitude back that we had, playing as a team, and I was really happy the way we played tonight.”

Jennifer Alley scored 16 points and Tammy Brokaw scored 14 and pulled down eight rebounds to lead Mt. Carmel. Jennifer Harris led RBV (11-9, 5-3) with 18 points. Sophomore Tori Anderson added 12.

Poway 65, Fallbrook 51--Top-ranked Poway (16-3, 7-1) got 14 points and 15 rebounds from Kara Milling, and Stephanie Guerena added a team-high 15 points. Marcia Jeffries had 18 for Fallbrook (9-8, 4-4).

Torrey Pines 69, San Dieguito 53--Catherine Blake became the first Torrey Pines player to reach 20 points this season. Blake had 22 points to go with 16 rebounds, and teammates Nada Tomic scored 15 and Carol Livingston 10 as the Falcons evened their record at 9-9, 3-5.
