Basketball roundup: Five-star Cal commit lights up Carondelet at Sabrina Ionescu showcase

CONCORD – When Aliyahna “Puff” Morris drove into the lane against host Carondelet on Friday evening, the short Etiwanda guard often disappeared among the taller players crowding the paint.

But almost every time, the five-star Cal signee would emerge from the traffic, and often complete the foray with a tough layup or finish for two hard-earned points. They were the kind of plays that the Golden Bears and coach Charmin Smith hope she can replicate at the collegiate level later this year.
