This feature serves as our statewide collection of milestone achievements in California high school sports. The biggest news was senior guard Dejah Saldivar of Ontario Christian setting a new girls hoops state record by making 17 three-pointers in one game plus head coach Dave Kleckner in boys hoops becoming the 22nd in state history to reach 700 milestone wins. We also had two 50-point girls games on the same night and a new school record of 48 points in one game at Damien of La Verne from a sophomore.
