SOUTH BAY/PENINSULA Jake Wojcik, Bellarmine Sport: Basketball

Position: Guard

Siena-bound standout made four 3-pointers in the second quarter and six for the half on his way to a 29-point eruption as Bellarmine repeated as outright West Catholic Athletic League champion for the first time with an 84-70 victory at St. Francis.

Brittney Cedeno, South San Francisco

Sport: Basketball

Position: Wing

Class: Senior

Made the winning jump shot with 10 seconds left as South City edged Menlo Atherton 59-58 to claim its first Peninsula Athletic League tournament championship in 18 years. Cedeno finished with 19 points and afterward discussed her motivation for transferring from Sacred Heart Cathedral to South City after her freshman year. “I really wanted to put this school on the map,” she said, “because public schools, not so many people think so highly of (them).” Cedeno also scored the winning basket in the semifinals against Aragon. EAST BAY Naseem Gaskin, Bishop O’Dowd Sport: Basketball

Position: Guard

Utah-bound star scored a school-record 44 points as the Dragons clinched the outright West Alameda County Conference Foothill Division championship with an 83-56 victory at Berkeley, which would have shared the title had it won. Feeling ill beforehand — “I threw up about four times” — Gaskin made Berkeley sick from the start, scoring O’Dowd’s first 10 points. He closed out the game with two exclamation point dunks in the final minute, including a windmill that broke the program’s scoring mark Paris Austin set in 2015.
