SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Navaeh Gavino, Annie Swanson and Lauren Herbelin each scored in double figures as St. Francis' JV Red squad defeated Del Campo, 48-24, in girls' prep basketball action Saturday afternoon.
The Troubadours win their fourth straight game to improve to 5-1. The win also marks the second of the year in the series, having defeated the Cougars by a 56-14 final back on November 19.
Gavino continues to lead SF's all-freshman JV Red team offensively, hitting six field goals – including a pair of three-pointers – for 18 total points. Swanson and Herbelin each shot 5-for-8 from the floor for 12 and 10 points, respectively. Swanson also drained a three and added a tick from the free-throw line.
