Back-to-back high school girls basketball reigning national champion Etiwanda has graduated three McDonald's All-Americans in the last two years.
But there appears to be no slowing down for the Eagles – Etiwanda just won its third Section 7 title in a row. And the last two preceded national title runs.

4-star combo guard and rising senior Arynn Finley, a top-40 prospect in the Class of 2026 per ESPN HoopGurlz, dropped 28 points in the finals against Utah powerhouse Lone Peak to win 71-60 for the crown.
Finley was a Junior All-American a year ago with 12.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 2.4 steals per game to help Etiwanda three-peat as CIF Open Division state champion. She has received offers from USD, SMU, Michigan State, Nevada, and Arkansas in the last five weeks alone, with the latter two coming after Section 7.
Point guard Chasity Rice, wing Andrea Alamo, and forward Tess Oldenburg, all rising juniors, were also among Etiwanda's top performers.
Etiwanda's road to the AIA Bracket finals consisted of beating Desert Vista (AZ) 85-68, Gilbert (AZ) 71-37, and fellow recent CIF-Southern Section champion Oak Park 65-57. The rest of the bracket contained pretty much nothing but big names – Tualatin (OR), Sage Hill, Carondelet, Bishop Gorman (LV), Democracy Prep (NV), Mira Costa, Perry (AZ), Oakland Tech, Millennium (AZ), Francis Parker, and Fairmont Prep.
Keep your eyes out for more wrap-up coverage from the 2025 Section 7 girls basketball tournament. Section 7's boys tournament takes place Friday through Sunday, June 20-22.
