SBLive California’s pre-season All-State Girls Basketball Teams

La Jolla Country Day leads the way with two First Team All-State members.

While many teams are still yet to play, most of California is a week or two into high school girls basketball season. So without further ado, here are SBLive California’s All-State Girls Basketball Teams going into the 2021-2022 season.

Our pre-season all-California teams consist of First Team, Second Team, and Third Team All-State. They do not take into account any games so far since the start of the 2021-22 season.

Did we miss anyone? Let us know on Twitter or Instagram, where our handle is @SBLiveCA. We will have a lot more awards coming out throughout the rest of the season, and we never stop striving to spotlight all the top athletes in the state.

SBLIVE CALIFORNIA'S ALL-STATE PRE-SEASON GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAMS

FIRST TEAM:

G Londynn Jones – Corona Centennial – SR.

The 5-star UCLA commit averaged 21.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and four steals per game last season for the CIF SoCal champion, and made SBLive’s First All-State Team. Jones was one of the top three-point shooters in California in the spring, making 74 threes at a 37% clip for an EFG of 57%.

G Jada Williams – La Jolla Country Day – JR.

A transfer from Blue Springs (MO), the 4-star PG averaged 19.1 PPG, 5.3 RPG, and 3.6 APG as a sophomore.

G/F Hannah Stines – Troy – SR.

A 4-star Washington commit, Stines OA to the fourth seed in the CIFSS Open Division last season. She put up 19.5 PPG, 8.8 RPG, 5.4 APG, 4.2 SPG, and 1.5 BPG, and also shot over 40% from three.

G/F Juju Watkins – Sierra Canyon – JR.

Arguably the top player in the Class of 2023, Watkins averaged 24.9 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 1.5 blocks per game last season as as a sophomore at Windward. As a freshman, she averaged well over 20 PPG to lead Windward to the CIFSS Open Division title game. Now the 5-star wing is at Sierra Canyon.

A 4-star combo guard in the Class of 2023, Briggs averaged 29.5 PPG, 11.6 RPG, 7.6 APG, 3.2 SPG, and 1.4 BPG as a sophomore. She led Ontario Christian to the 3-AA title game and was named the division’s player of the year despite the Knights coming up just short in the finals, which is a rare honor.

F Gabriela Jaquez – Camarillo – SR.

Last season as a junior, Jaquez averaged 31.7 PPG, 14.8 RPG, 2.4 APG, and 2.9 SPG, and she also helped lead Cal Stars to a Nike EYBL championship over the summer. Last season in a one-point Division 1 playoff loss to Bishop Montgomery, Jaquez dropped 52 points (second most in Ventura County history) on 19-36 shooting to go with 18 boards and two steals. The 4-star SF is committed to UCLA.

F Natalie Pasco – San Ramon Valley – SR.

Perhaps the top breakout player in the state as a junior, Pasco averaged 28.3 points and 13 rebounds per game to lead the Wolves to an 11-0 season and East Bay Athletic League title. She hit 2.9 threes per game at a 49% to shoot a massive 62% from the field. Pasco was also named SBLive’s North Coast Section Athlete of the Year.

Smith averaged 22.4 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.8 steals per game on one of the best teams in the section last season. Both SBLive and Cal-Hi Sports named her Freshman of the Year, and she’s also a member of our first all-state team.
