The announcement of honorees for the 39th annual Cal-Hi Sports All-State Teams in girls basketball continues with the breakdown of players from schools placed in divisions according to the CIF state and regional playoffs. Competitive equity seeding has made determining which division to place each player even more complicated. In short, they aren’t the same as section divisions in some cases. If a player’s team didn’t get to the regional playoffs, we went with the division her team would have played in.

Cal-Hi Sports Southern California – Girls Player of the Week
Anyssia Gibbs
(Granite Hills, Apple Valley) Sr.

There was no shortage of emails coming in to nominate this girl from the High Desert whose father, Robert Gibbs, is the Cougars head coach. Gibbs was a strong consideration for the award for many weeks this season, but she didn’t have dibs on it until a decision was made early this week.

Last week, the powerfully-built 5-foot-10 senior wing had her top performance of the season, and at the same time helped Granite Hills secure its first-ever Desert Sky League Championship since the school opened in 1999.

First, in a 69-38 victory over Silverado of Victorville, Gibbs went for a triple-double after pouring in a season-high 45 points with 16 rebounds and 10 steals, plus six assists and four blocks. That meant Gibbs had a hand in 57 of the Cougars 69 points.

Then, in the win that wrapped up the league title, she barely missed a quadruple-double in a 68-35 win against Adelanto after finishing with 29 points, 14 rebounds, and 12 steals, with nine assists, and four blocks.

Heading into the CIF Southern Section Division 3-A playoffs, Gibbs is averaging 28.0 points, 12.2 rebounds, 8.4 steals and 7.0 assists per game. According to the MaxPreps database, the points and assists totals are high up on the reported leaders’ lists for the state and the CIFSS, but her 8.4 steals is the No. 5 reported mark in the state and she leads the state in points per 32 minutes with a 33.5 average.

Granite Hills 68, Adelanto 35

At Adelanto, Annysia Gibbs ended her regular season with a bang.
The senior led the Cougars with 29 points, 14 rebounds, nine assists, 12 steals and four blocks against the Saints.

The victory also secured an outright Desert Sky League title.
“This is monumental,” Granite Hills coach Robert Gibbs said. “This is the first time in school history that the Lady Cougars have won the DSL title.”

Natalie Rollins added 11 points, four rebounds, three assists and five steals; Brilonnie Bell had 13 points, 12 rebounds, two steals and five blocks; Dave’on Mitchell ended with nine points, seven rebounds, one assist and four steals; Emily Hernandez chipped in six points, two rebounds, two assists and four steals; Jaymerose Mancha snagged two rebounds; and Ja’Shira Morales had six rebounds and one assist.

Prep Girls Basketball: Gibbs helps Granite
Hills clinch DSL title

Granite Hill 69, Silverado 38

APPLE VALLEY — The last time the Granite Hills girls basketball team claimed a league title, no one on the current team was even born. This is the first time in Granite Hills’ history, that this accomplishment has been achieved.

That’s not true anymore as the 2018 Cougars clinched a share of the Desert Sky League title and the league’s No. 1 seed with a 69-38 victory against Silverado on Tuesday.

“We initiated this journey together and since the beginning, we have talked about this. We kept moving and we finally reached it.” Gibbs said. “It kept escaping us, but we have one more game against Adelanto and we are looking forward to it.”

Granite Hills (16-5, 10-1 DSL) can wrap up the outright league title with a win against Adelanto on Thursday. Victor Valley could still share the league title with a win Thursday and a Granite Hills loss.

Anyssia Gibbs, the Lady Cougars’ lone Senior, led Granite Hills with 45 points, 14 rebounds, 10 steals, five assists and four blocks.
“I thought that today was a fantastic way for our senior to go out,” Robert Gibbs said. “Her performance was amazing and she’s definitely set many team records with that performance.”

Brilonnie Bell had 11 points, 11 rebounds and seven blocks for Granite Hills; Davéon Mitchell had four points, 10 rebounds, four assists and four steals; Emily Hernandez recorded six rebounds, five steals, four assists, four points and one block; Natalie Rollins chipped in six assists, five rebounds, four points, four steals

Granite Hills 42, Barstow 17

At Barstow, the Cougars inched closer to their first Desert Sky League title in program history with a dominant performance against the Aztecs.

Granite Hills had a 19-6 edge at halftime and didn’t allow Barstow to score in double figures in any of the quarters.

Anyssia Gibbs finished with 21 points, 13 rebounds, eight assists, 10 steals and three blocks.

Natalie Rollins chipped in 12 points, five rebounds and five steals; Brilonnie Bell had five points, six rebounds and six blocks; Da’Veon Mitchell contributed four points, eight rebounds, three assists and six steals; Ja’Shira Morales had four rebounds and two steals; Jaymerose Mancha added six rebounds, two assists and two steals; and Emily Hernandez added four rebounds and six steals.

The Cougars are 9-1 in the league with two games remaining. Second-place Victor Valley is 9-2 and has one game left.

Athletes of the Week: Sultana’s Leo Molina and Granite Hills’ Anyssia Gibbs

Posted: Jan 29, 2018 at 12:01 AM Updated Jan 29, 2018 at 11:56 PM

Name: Leo Molina

Sport: Wrestling - School: Sultana - Grade: Senior

Last week’s accomplishment: Molina took first in the 195-pound division at the Raul Huerta Memorial tournament on Jan. 20 and scored a pin in one minute, 55 seconds in Sultana’s victory against Burroughs.

Name: Anyssia Gibbs

Sport: Basketball - School: Granite Hills - Grade: Senior

Last week’s accomplishment: Gibbs led the Cougars with 34 points, 11 rebounds, eight assists, seven steals and three blocks in a victory over the Saints on Jan. 23. She also had 33 points,

12 rebounds, eight steals, eight assist and three blocks in a loss to Victor Valley on Jan. 25.

What do you like most about your sport: The amount of categories that you can be successful at in basketball virtually eliminates excuses. A player may not be the best scorer but maybe they can rebound or play solid defense so no matter what you can always be a contributor.

How long have you been playing your sport and how did you get started: I began playing basketball in second or third grade for my school. My dad would work with me on the outside hoops on the playgrounds and I developed a growing appreciation for it from that point on.

Pregame ritual: Before a game, I leave real life a little bit. I zone out and just talk to God as if he was standing right next to me. This mental escape, if you will, prepares my mind for the intensity that the game requires.

Most memorable sports moment: One of the girls in my league whom I’d never spoken to had a major problem with me and I don’t really know why. After a game I pulled her aside and just started talking to her and she saw that I’m nothing like how I’m labeled and that’s something I’m proud of.

If you could be someone else for a day, who would it be and why: I wouldn’t want to be anyone else ever because no one can be as good as me, as I can and vice versa. I’d like to remain myself, thanks.

Something most people don’t know about you: I’d like to make known to everyone that I’m never “out of control.” I’m perfectly aware and in control of everything I say, do and the way I perform on the court. The idea that I’m anything but is absolutely absurd.

How would you spend $1 million: I’d divide it between my church my family and probably a few charities. I’d keep $100,000 for myself for a rainy day.

Where would you go if you could travel anywhere in the world: I’ve been wanting to go to Hawaii for some time now but it seems like that’s not going to happen so my next choice would be Italy.

If you had an extra hour every day, how would you spend it: I’d spend an extra hour a day doing homework. An extra hour would be quite useful.

What superpower do you wish you had: Super speed would be pretty great or the ability to levitate to increase my vertical.

Favorite class: I enjoy my psychology class, more so because of my teacher than the actual content. Shout out to Ms. Chaires.

Favorite sports team: Cleveland Cavaliers

Favorite athlete: LeBron James because he’s my best friend. Favorite superhero: I’m my favorite superhero.

Favorite TV show: I love “Law and Order: SVU” and “The Good Doctor” Favorite movie: The new “Jumanji” movie is pretty good.

Favorite song: My favorite songs are “Why” by Jonathan McReynolds or “Close” by Marvin Sapp.

Favorite meal: I rarely eat the same thing consistently, but I just like Italian food in general. Favorite local restaurant: I absolutely love Pancho Villa’s

Favorite app: I like iMessage Games. My favorite is Word Hunt.
