On senior night, Juju Watkins scores a career-high 60 points for Sierra Canyon

It was an energy for Watkins, Gottleib said, that she’d seen only from her time as an assistant with the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers, watching Kevin Durant or LeBron James warm up.Amid a slew of jumpers, putbacks and free throws, Watkins never left the floor in the second half as the Trailblazers built a 40-point lead. Her 50th point, coming on another three-pointer seconds after a layup, was an inevitability. Her 60th point, coming late in the fourth quarter, was the finishing touch.

The scoring display, however, left the Notre Dame girls with long faces and a few comments on social media questioning why Watkins wasn’t removed earlier. By the third quarter, Sierra Canyon had built an insurmountable lead. “Do whatever you want to do,” Notre Dame coach Paul Gross said, when asked if Watkins not being taken out rubbed him the wrong way. “I don’t worry about what the other team does … you wonder, do they risk injury that way, but that’s not my decision.”
