This season, the girls’ basketball team demonstrated an ultimate superiority over many other
teams. Our Rams advanced throughout the season winning the CIF championship game against tough
competitor Sotomayor 42 to 32 and then moving to the state finals. This great accomplishment could
not have been done without the team’s very skilled players, including its shooting guard and captain
Isabel Lizarraga.
Isabel is a sophomore who through hard work was able to achieve the title of shooting guard
captain. She states that her responsibilities as captain involves “boosting up their confidence and giving
them advice on what they could do better.” During the games, she also makes sure to “control the
tempo the game from both sides of the court.” She plays as a team leader, and the team benefits from
her effectiveness culminating in a CIIF victory! This experience was “one of the best feelings that anyone
could possibly have” she explains. She enjoyed “being called a champ in front of tons of people in the
stands.” Isabel was very proud of her team because they all “went to war for each other… and were
hungry to win.”
