Nobody said becoming a dynasty was going to be easy and the South Medford girls ran into a team that already is a dynasty in Thursday’s quarterfinal round of the state tournament.
Two-time defending champion Southridge never trailed en route to a 19-point win, ending the Panthers chances at a state title.
"I don't even know what a perfect game looks like, but we knew we were going to have to be better than we've been all year, and unfortunately we were not better than we've been all year,” head coach Tom Cole said. “I think some of that has to do with the fact that Southridge is very good."
The No. 7 team in the nation is now two wins away from a three-peat, thanks in large part to the efforts of junior Cameron Brink.
Ranked the No. 2 prospect in the country, and committed to Stanford University, the 6-foot-5 Brink played even bigger today.
She was a matchup nightmare for South Medford, finishing with 20 points and 15 rebounds.
"She's a tough player and I've seen a lot of tough kids in this state over the past 12 years. She's as good as it gets," Cole said.
Brink’s presence is felt in so many ways.
