Gabby Green of St. Mary’s High was selected to the U.S. under-19 women’s basketball team that will compete at this summer’s FIBA World Championships.

Green, a 6-foot-1 guard, earned a spot on the 12-player team after four days of trials at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. The junior is one of just three high school players selected to the team, which is headlined by UConn’s Breanna Stewart.

Team USA is going for a fifth straight gold medal at the under-19 world championships. The tournament runs from July 18-28 in Lithuania.

Green is the reigning co-MVP of the Tri-County Athletic League-Rock Division and led St. Mary’s to the North Coast Section Division IV title, averaging 16.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, 4.2 steals and 3.9 assists per game.

One of the nation’s top recruits in the class of 2014, Green has not yet made her college decision.

For the first time we have a Northern California CIF state volleyball championship. Can the East Bay teams make a splash and become the champion of Northern California?

James Logan High linebacker Ryan Bua, a first-team All-East Bay selection by the Bay Area News Group, has accepted an invited walk-on offer to play football at UC Davis.

The 6-foot, 200-pound Bua was a force in the middle of Logan’s stout defense, which helped the Colts go 12-2 and reach the North Coast Section Division I title game. It was Logan’s deepest playoff run in 15 years.

“He is the hardest worker and has the highest integrity and character that I’ve ever coached,” Colts coach George Zuber said.

The baseball poll is back here on the blog. Sorry, I’ve been off the past month so I haven’t been around to post the poll here, but with a week left in the regular season, here’s our latest. This is actually the second to last poll of the year. We won’t have one next week when NCS starts (there’s no reason to at that point, since things will get decided on the field). We’ll come back with the final poll after NCS is complete.

Also receiving votes:  Heritage (14-8, 4 points), San Leandro (19-5, 4 points), Alameda (15-9, 1), Liberty (15-7, 1). The East Bay Baseball Poll is voted on by the prep sports staff of Bay Area News Group East Bay. Records are through Saturday.
