Turlock High sophomore Jaydon Williams was named the Central California Conference’s basketball MVP, and she was joined on the first team by her sister, senior Shaw Glasgow Williams.

The Williams sisters led the Bulldogs to their CCC title in six years, edging Pitman and Atwater. Turlock (20-8) closed a competitive league season on a six-game winning streak and finished 10-2, one game clear of rival Pitman (9-3, 17-11).

Atwater (8-4, 20-8) was third.

Jaydon Williams averaged 13.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.1 steals and 2.9 assists, showcasing an all-around game. Glasgow Williams averaged 12.2 points and a team-high 8.4 rebounds.

Junior Sarah Musselman (4.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists) joined the Williams on the first team.

Pitman and Atwater had two first-team selections.

Junior forward Kaylin Randhawa and senior Andrea Selkow were picked for the Pride. Randhawa led the conference in scoring average with 16.3 points, while Selkow blocked a CCC-best 2.7 shots.

The Falcons were represented by point guard Jasmine Xiong, who averaged 4.9 assists to go along with 11.9 points, and forward Alondra Ponce, the Falcons’ best on the boards at 7.7 rebounds

Golden Valley’s Abbee Croninger (13.3 points, 12.3 rebounds), the only player to average a double-double, and Merced’s Raelynn Blackwell (12.5 points) rounded out the first team.

Calaveras boys basketball sweeps MLL’s major awards: The Calaveras boys basketball team was rewarded for its perfect run through the Mother Lode League. Six-foot-7 junior Dillon Autrey was the Most Outstanding Player, the league’s highest individual accolade, while teammate Kyle Byrd was the MVP.

Teammate Bowie Wood gave Calaveras three first-team honors. Calaveras (26-3) went 12-0 in league play and lost just two regular-season games in coach Kraig Clifton’s return to the bench. Clifton missed most of the 2015-16 season after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Nate Patterson (13 points, 4.6 assists) and Jace Decker (16.6 points, 6.2 rebounds) of Sonora (10-2, 20-6), Jared Votaw (15.8 points) and Adison Cramer (14.3 points) of Argonaut (8-4, 23-9), and MLL leading scorer Daylan Thetford (17.1 points) of Amador (3-9, 3-17) rounded out the first team.

Argonaut’s Arevalo ‘Most Outstanding’ in MLL: Calaveras’ Brookelyn Larkin and Sonora’s Sha’nece Garrett share the Mother Lode League title and now its MVP award, too.

Larkin ranked among the MLL leaders in scoring (13.3 points), assists (league-high 5.1) and steals (3.3). Only a sophomore, Garrett averaged a league-best 14.3 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists for the Wildcats, who finished 10-2 and 21-5 overall.

Calaveras was also 10-2, 21-6 overall.

Argonaut’s Macie Arevalo is the Most Outstanding Player. The junior helped engineer a banner season for the Mustangs, who went from third place in the MLL to Sac-Joaquin Section Division V champions.

The all-MLL first team included: Bret Harte’s Cali Anderson (11.1 points, 10.4 rebounds), the only player to average a double-double; Calaveras’ Kate Lumley (9.3 points, 5.7 rebounds); Argonaut’s Lauryn Davis; Summerville’s Karina Herrera; and Sonora’s Makenna Poole (11 points, eight rebounds).

Quick hits: Central Catholic football players Jared Rice and Bryce Wade were recently honored by the National Football Foundation for their achievements on the field, as well as in the classroom and community. ... Sierra soccer standouts Eddie Aguilar and David Lopez will sign letters of intent Thursday to attend Ottawa University in Arizona.
