Lady Warriors Win League Championship
Tehachapi Wins A School Record 26 Games


The 2022-23 Lady Warriors had one of the most successful seasons in school history. The team won a record 26 games;
went undefeated in the Mountain League with a perfect 8-0 record; and advanced to the CIF finals losing in
the championship game against Liberty-Bakersfield. To put icing on the cake, Tehachapi was invited to the State playoffs,
hosting a game in Tehachapi against Oak Park.

The Warriors jumped out fast to begin the season winning their first 13 games. Tehachapi participated
in two tournaments winning the Frontier Hoop Fest Tournament with wins over Shafter, Sanger, and Lancaster. Riley Walden was named
to the all-tournament team.

In the Highway 58 Shootout Tournament, the Lady Warriors defeated Bakersfield High and Bakersfield Christian --- two
quality wins against seasoned basketball programs. The championship game proved to be too much as Tehachapi lost
to Arroyo Grande, snapping a 13-game win streak.

In the pre-league season, the Lady Warriors went 6-0 including impressive wins over Rosamond, Garces, Taft, Independence,
Burroughs, and Foothill. In league play, the Lady Warriors walloped the competition by 20 or more
points in each game.

The Warriors dominated the All-league selections placing six Warriors on the All-Mountain League team.
Senior Laura LaMonte was the Most Valuable player; senior Michelle Orellana and sophomore Riley Walden were first-team honorees;
senior Trista Diefenderfer and junior Kennedy Perkins earned second team honors; and freshman Koree Rodden was the Rookie of the Year.
