Dessy Coleman turned in a dominating all-around game, leading Santa Barbara High’s girls basketball team to a 55-38 win over Dos Pueblos in the Channel League finale on Wednesday.
Santa Barbara completes the regular season with a 19-7 overall record and a 6-2 mark in league play, good for second place.
Coleman scored 20 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, had six assists and seven steals. Ivette Gil scored 15 points and had 12 rebounds and Amber Melgoza added six points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the Dons.
