There's little discussion necessary when determining California's most valuable high school girls basketball player. Mater Dei senior Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis is the winner, no debate needed.
In leading the Monarchs to the Division I state championship and a No. 1 MaxPreps national ranking, the Connecticut-bound Mosqueda-Lewis always came up big when her team needed her most. That was never more evident than in the state championship against Berkeley, where the 6-foot senior helped the Monarchs overcome an early first-quarter deficit by pumping in a season-high 33 points.
Mosqueda-Lewis finished the season averaging 22.1 and has already earned National Player of the Year honors from MaxPreps and Gatorade. She also is the Player of the Year by the Orange County Register and the Los Angeles Times.

Tom Gonsalves of St. Mary's is the California Girls Coach of the Year. Despite losing All-Americans Chelsea Gray and Afure Jemerigbe to graduation from last year's state champion, and No. 2 nationally ranked, team, Gonsalves and the Rams put together another fantastic season that included a third straight state championship, but at a higher level. The Rams were state champs in Division III last year but moved up to Division II for the 2011 season.
The Rams finished the season 29-2 overall with 27 straight wins and a No. 5 national ranking by the
MaxPreps Freeman computer rankings.
Following are the MaxPreps overall all-state teams, comprised for a first, second and third team along with 15 honorable mention selections, listed in no particular order. Five 10-player divisional teams are also posted with an MVP selected for each division.
