Here’s Stanislaus District fans’ pick as The Bee’s Girls Prep of the Week
Gregori’s girls basketball team is making its way up the Central California Athletic League standings. The Jaguars are peaking at the right time, having won five straight after dropping their league opener. At 5-1, they are in second place.
The Jaguars’ second win in their recent hot streak came in convincing fashion against first place Pitman High. The 42-24 win was a good bounce back for coach Marissa Shull’s team after losing to the Pride three days prior.
Guard Savannah Pearson provided a spark when her team needed it. The junior scored a team-high 17 points and added six rebounds and six steals. The fans noticed her performance, voting her The Bee’s Girls Prep of the Week.
Pearson collected 59% of the votes in the weekly poll. She finished ahead of Pitman soccer player Mya Sanchez and Hilmar basketball player Emily Cogswell, who came in second and third, respectively.
