Shelburne was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. She attended El Camino Real High School in Woodland Hills, California where she was a class valedictorian. Staff Writer Alemany of Mission Hills girls' basketball coach Brandi Murrish knows her team will be one of the strongest teams in the Mission League next season. After starting 4-1 in league this season, however, she began to allow herself to think her team's time might have arrived early. ``This is for first place,'' Murrish said before Alemany's game Tuesday night at fourth-ranked Chaminade of West Hills. Murrish's hopes, though, were dashed early, as Chaminade senior guard Christina Zdenek hit a 10-footer with 1:16 to go in the first quarter to sparked a 22-7 run en route to a 62-41 victory over Alemany. ``We knew we didn't play to our level against Harvard-Westlake (of Studio City on Friday),'' said Zdenek, who finished with a game-high 25 points, nine rebounds and five steals. ``So we knew we just needed to come out with more intensity tonight and play from the heart. ``They're definitely a good team, they can come out and give you a definite run for your money, so we just tried to shut them down early and not let them think they had a chance.'' Chaminade (18-3, 5-1), which had a winning streak Noun 1. winning streak - a streak of wins streak, run - an unbroken series of events; "had a streak of bad luck"; "Nicklaus had a run of birdies" snapped at 16 games against Harvard-Westlake of Studio City, moves back into a tie for first place entering the second round of league.

But it was sophomore Joy Sterling who drew reactions from both sides of the stands as she nearly dunked the ball on a fast-break layup. Sterling had been trying to touch the rim in practice the entire season and finally succeeded Monday. On Tuesday, the 5-foot-11 Sterling palmed the ball in her right hand and touched the bottom of the rim with the ball, about three inches from a dunk. She finished with 11 points. ``They're very young, but (Murrish) has got a lot of good young players,'' said Chaminade coach Kelli DiMuro, who plays in a women's league Women's League (in Swedish: Kvinnoligan) was a feminist organization in Sweden, based in Lund.

Even trailing by as many as 24 points, Alemany tried to put a scare into senior-laden Chaminade. With two minutes to go in the third quarter, the Alemany fans erupted in boos when no foul was called as senior point guard Leah Sabado drove in between two defenders on a fast break. Then the normally soft-spoken Murrish bolted off the bench and said something to referee Bryan Rodgers that immediately earned her a technical.
