Big Stats ... Determined Team ... Bright Future For Las Positas Women
Hawks enter Coast-North season with trio of state stars. When Las Positas gets full complement of players, look out!
No matter how things play out in the standings, the Las Positas College women’s basketball team will have an impact in the Coast-North Conference this season.
The Hawks (3-11) boast one of the state’s top scorers in sensational sophomore Kierstin Constantino, who is averaging 25.3 points a game, and the state’s top two rebounders in Joyce Mulumba and Monique Cavness, at 22.6 and 19.6 boards a game, respectively. That’s a lot of production for three players, enough so that head coach Caleb Theodore can see nothing but blue skies ahead for his energetic program.
A big key for the Hawks will be getting healthy and having a complete team on the court.
