Last month, Destiny Littleton shot past Cheryl Miller. On Saturday, she squeaked by Charde Houston and became the all-time leading scorer in California girls' high school basketball history.
Littleton, a 5-foot-9 senior guard at Bishop's (La Jolla, California) and a USC recruit, scored 30 points Saturday in a win over Ramona (California) to move past Houston, a former UConn star who was in the stands for the game.
