1995 PREP BASKETBALL: ALL-STARS : Crenshaw, Washington Players Dominate First-Team Squad : Girls’ all-stars: Coming off successful seasons, the Cougars and Generals each have two players honored.

Crenshaw High’s success was unmatched by any City Section girls’ basketball team over the last three years.

The Cougars were 76-10 during that span, losing only twice against City competition. Both defeats came against Washington during the 1993-94 season.

The Cougars, though, got the upper hand against their Southern Pacific Conference rival this season, beating the Generals four times on the way to their third consecutive City 4-A title.

Crenshaw went 29-1 and advanced to the Southern California Regional Division I semifinals, where the Cougars lost to eventual State runner-up Mater Dei.

It was also a banner season for Washington (18-7), which reached the City 4-A final for the first time since the Generals’ unprecedented four-year title reign from 1989-92. Selections were based on ballots received from area coaches and a sportswriters’ poll. All schools were invited to participate.

Here is a look at the first team:

Tina Greer, Washington--The slick, 5-2 junior point guard was selected to the All-City 4-A first team for the second season in a row. Greer averaged 14.3 points and 5.1 assists, pouring in a season-high 31 points in a Southern Pacific Conference game against Carson.

Shamekka Higgins, Locke--The 5-7 junior guard-forward was named to the All-City 4-A and Southeastern Conference first teams, leading the Saints (20-7) to their best record in more than a decade. Higgins averaged 19 points and eight rebounds.

Zenobia Tyson Hunt, Roosevelt--One of the top post players in the City, Hunt guided Roosevelt (20-2) to its fifth Southeastern Conference title in seven years and a berth in the 4-A semifinals.

A two-time All-City 4-A first-team selection, the 6-3 center averaged 17.5 points, 15 rebounds and five steals despite bring pulled out by the fourth quarter of many lopsided victories.

Jamie Kogan, Marshall--An All-City 4-A second-team selection, Kogan was the Northern Conference most valuable player.

The 5-6 senior guard shot 41% from three-point range and averaged 16.7 points, three steals and 2.4 assists to help Marshall (20-5) go undefeated in conference play. Kogan was also named to the Bell and San Fernando all-tournament teams.

Kristi Lattin, Crenshaw--A three-year starter, the 6-0 senior was the City 4-A co-player of the year along with teammate Naila Moseley. The Southern Pacific Conference’s most valuable player, Lattin was the Cougars’ top ball-handler and led the team in scoring at 23.3 points a game. Lattin, who has attracted scholarship interest from Xavier, Nevada, Arizona State and Texas El Paso, had 16 points and 13 rebounds in the City final against Washington, making six of six free throws in the final minute to seal the Cougars’ third consecutive championship. She was also named the most valuable player at the Las Vegas Cheyenne and San Diego Lincoln tournaments.

Jacqueline Leverett, Jefferson--A three-year starter, the 5-9 senior guard was a key in scoring, rebounding and ball-handling for the Democrats (17-8). A Southeastern Conference first-team selection, Leverett averaged 25.2 points, 9.5 rebounds and 12 assists.

Naila Moseley, Crenshaw--The City 4-A co-player of the year and Washington tournament most valuable player, Moseley averaged 21.1 points, 11.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists. The 6-0 sophomore center proved her merit in the postseason. Moseley had 131 points in six City playoff games, including 34 against State Division I runner-up Mater Dei and 32 in a come-from-behind victory against Westchester in the 4-A semifinals.

Aisha Savage, Fremont--An All-City 3-A first-team selection, the 5-8 senior guard-forward led the Pathfinders (12-13) to their first playoff victory in four years and a berth in the semifinals.
