Los Osos High freshman Jackie Polk scores 15 of her 30 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Grizzlies to their first girls' basketball state title.
Grainy videos of a tiny girl with a toothy smile and frizzy hair can be found on her Instagram page as far back as 2018, Polk posting hashtags such as #ilovethisgame and #ballislife before she ever hit double-digits on her birth certificate.
She scored 30 points, tying the Division III state-title-game record, stepping back for threes off yo-yo dribbles and dropping in touch floaters.Yalee Schwartz had 21 points and 13 rebounds while Arielle Grossman contributed 18 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Firehawks to first state title.Advertisement
