With Whitney Jacob leading the way, Mullen girls hoops look for 4A postseason success

On a checklist of what it takes to win a championship, the Mullen girls basketball team can mark off every box. They’ve got a bonafide star in senior Whitney Jacob, who coach Frank Cawley said is the best all-around player he’s had at Mullen. They’ve got depth with the likes of savvy senior point guard Tori Galvan and the junior twin tandem of Sydney Congdon and Jaden Congdon, a trio of underrated players who might be able to help the Mustangs dethrone two-time defending 4A champion Valor Christian come tournament time. And perhaps most importantly, the Mustangs possess the intangible of experience, with the majority of its starters and bench players back from last season’s 18-9 squad. It all makes for a giant, gold ball opportunity—and it’s one Jacob and her teammates aren’t taking lightly as Mullen eyes its first state title since 2006, and fifth overall. “We definitely have a high confidence level coming off of last year and making the Great 8, but we know that we have to work harder this year because we want to go further than that,” Jacob said.
