Lady Scots hit 20-0 with win over West Shores

CALEXICO — A perfect regular season for the Vincent Memorial girls’ basketball squad seems all but assured at this point.

On Tuesday the Scots annihilated the West Shores Wildcats 78-17 to round their record up to 20-0 on the year.

The outcome was more or less a foregone conclusion given the 62-24 beating the Scots had previously administered to the Wildcats back on Jan. 17 in Salton City, but the extent of Vincent’s dominance on Tuesday was still striking.

The Scots shot 52 percent from the field, tallied 32 steals against just eight turnovers and grabbed 14 offensive rebounds.

Star guard Alexandria Swift flirted with a triple-double, logging 25 points (on 10-of-13 shooting), nine assists and seven steals. Kamila Jaime had 17, four assists and five steals. Delta Nelson and Bella Gonzales tied for the team lead in rebounds with seven, chipping in with eight and five points respectively.

Vincent has just three games left on the schedule, all against Manzanita League foes they’ve already thrashed. The Scots play at Borrego Springs on Friday.

Despite their long string of crushing triumphs, and despite being the last remaining undefeated team in the San Diego Section, the Scots’ are currently power-ranked second in CIF-SDS Division V for quality of competition reasons.

Ranked ahead of them are the Cardinals of Hoover High — a more-than-formidable opponent with a 21-3 record and a school enrollment close to 3,000 — making Vincent something less than a shoo-in for postseason glory when the time comes.
