Wright caps season in All-CIF fashion

Sage Hill School junior Haywood Wright was selected to the girls

basketball All-CIF Southern Section Division IV-A second team. The

selections were released Tuesday.

Wright, also chosen Daily Pilot Player of the Year, averaged 13.1

points, 13.2 rebounds and helped lead the Lightning to a quarterfinal

playoff appearance, the deepest the school has ever gone in the

postseason.

The 6-foot-1 guard led the team with 81 blocks and 59 steals,

while providing a mixture of an inside and outside game that was

tough for opposers to match up against. Her 81 blocks was the most in

the Academy League and she was second in the league in rebounding.

Wright scored a season-high 21 points in a 64-32 league-opening

win against Oxford Academy on Jan. 7.

Sage had wins over Buckley and Woodcrest Christian in the first

and second rounds of the postseason before falling to eventual

champion Brentwood in the quarterfinals.

The Lightning finished the season 14-9, 8-2 for a share of first

in league with Brethren Christian.
