Sophomore forward Grace Padilla led the Santa Ynez High School girls’ basketball team in postseason honors, receiving the Channel League’s Defensive Player of the Year award.


“Padilla has been a huge piece to this puzzle since she arrived on campus last year as a freshman,” said Pirates head coach Jason Finley. “She is a great rebounder, having led the Los Padres League last season and on top of the Channel League this year.”
