If you enjoy watching Steph Curry, you should see Kaitlin Imai.
Her coach, Gabe Gonzales, said, “On her historic night, her shot was pretty to watch. I personally do not know if there is anything prettier than watching a great shooter get hot.”
He calls Kaitlin “our rock.”
She made 13 three-point attempts, and five of six free throws.
Her three-pointers set a Central Coast Section record. The previous record was 11.
That 44 point game: A record for Scotts Valley High School.
That such an accomplishment came during a pandemic make Kaitlin even more amazing.
“Kaitlin deserves everything she gets as she works hard all year around on her game,” her coach said.
Sounds like another hot shooter on the Golden State Warriors.
Congratulations, Kaitlin!
It’s not too late to watch and the Falcons in action.
Scotts Valley is 11-7 overall and 4-2 in league. Their last league games are against Aptos Friday Feb. 4 and against Harbor Feb. 9. Both are away games starting at 6 p.m.
Kudos to Santa Cruz High girls led by Bella Stevens, who left the floor with a win, 72-56. They are 9-9 overall and with Bella’s return undefeated 6-1 in league. Tough competitors!
