HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL ROUNDUP : Grossmont Girl Takes Free Throw Streak to 28

Grossmont’s Christina Adams set two section records by making 21 consecutive free throws in Grossmont’s 81-57 victory over El Cajon Valley Thursday night at Grossmont.

The 21 free throws was the most made in a row in one game, eclipsing the 20 made by Michelle Wilkes of Southwest in 1986. Wilkes’ record had also stood as the most made in a row over more than one game, but Adams made seven consecutively in Tuesday’s 56-54 upset over first-place Santana. She missed her last free throw Thursday and finished with a streak of 28.

The junior guard was 21 of 22 from the line against El Cajon Valley and finished with 31 points. She also pulled down 11 rebounds.

Earlier this season, Adams made 28 free throws in a game against Serra.

With the victory, Grossmont (12-6, 6-2) ousted El Cajon Valley 19-5, 5-3) from a two-way tie for second place and claimed it for itself.
