[...] beating second-seeded Carondelet-Concord on the road Friday night in an opening-round CIF State Open Division game was even more exhilarating.
Avery Cargill made a layup with eight seconds left after a nice feed from Boise State-bound Hailey Vice-Neat to lift Cardinal Newman, the seventh seed, to a 48-47 victory.
Vice-Neat drew two defenders with a strong move to the basket before finding Cargill, who made the wide-open layup.
After a timeout, Carondelet got a last-second shot that didn’t draw iron, and Cardinal Newman (29-3) prevailed.
University of Portland-bound Lauren Walker, a 6-foot-5 post, had just seven points but contributed 14 rebounds, four blocks and excellent defense against Carondelet’s big frontcourt.
Brianna Simonich (16 points) gave the Cougars a 47-46 lead with 28 seconds left on an inside bucket before Cargill’s final basket.
Haley Jones had 19 points and 10 rebounds and Maddy Holland added 16 points and 10 rebounds as top-seeded Mitty (26-2) beat No. 8 Sacred Heart Cathedral (18-9) at home for the third time this season.
