She’s back.
Sierra Canyon’s Jerzy Robinson, who is one of America’s top 2026 girls basketball recruits, missed the team’s first six games before making her return and senior debut last Wednesday night at home.
Robinson started and played just 16 minutes in the Trailblazers’ 89-62 win over Rancho Christian, but she made her time count. She tallied 14 points, eight rebounds, five assists and two steals. A few nights later, she tallied 19 points, three rebounds, four assists and two steals in Sierra Canyon’s 86-52 win over Bishop O’Dowd.
Sierra Canyon, which is nationally ranked at 7-1, will travel to Missouri to take on national powerhouse Incarnate Word Academy on Friday.
The 5-star guard is the only top-end prospect who hasn’t committed to a college yet. She holds offers to LSU, South Carolina, Connecticut, USC and UCLA. Robinson averaged 26.8 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game as a junior.
LIONS, LANCERS MARMONTE LEAGUE CONTENDERS
The Oaks Christian boys basketball team has stormed onto the local basketball season with a sophomore tandem leading the way. Brady Sullivan and Hank Baskett are averaging 15 and 14 points per game, respectively, to anchor the Lions’ 11-1 start.
Sullivan, who is more of a traditional shooting guard, recently poured in 22 points on 12 shots in a win over Simi Valley. Baskett is a wing-type who also averages 8.2 rebounds per game.
Oaks Christian’s lone loss is to San Marcos (6-1), but early on, it looks like the Lions are a top contender for the Marmonte League title with Thousand Oaks (6-0).
Thousand Oaks is unbeaten with a favorable schedule until a home showdown with Chaminade on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. The Lancers are led by senior Dylan McCord’s 22.5 points per game with junior Jaydon Nwene pouring in 15.2 points per contest.
According to coach Logan Baltau, the team is averaging 16 steals per game and 19.5 offensive rebounds per game.
NOTES
Keep an eye out for a little school out in Simi Valley, Grace. The Lancers won a CIF championship in football and the basketball team is off to an 8-1 start. Sophomores Nathan Pang and Donovan Merrill are both 6-foot-5. Point guard Owen Spencer is running the show.
Bedlam in the Foothill League. After a hot start from Valencia (8-4), the Vikings lost to Saugus (5-2), and then Saugus lost to West Ranch (2-2). Golden Valley (5-4) is unbeaten in league play at 3-0 with a win over West Ranch.
