The Gatorade Male and Female High School Athletes of the Year will be announced tonight in Los Angeles with basketball players winning 10 of the previous 18 times over the first nine years the award has been given out. That figures to bode well for UConn incoming freshman Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis.

Mosqueda-Lewis is one of the candidates courtesy of her being named the nation's top girls' basketball player by Gatorade.

Other girls' finalists Morgan Brian (soccer), Aisling Cuffe (cross country), Paige McDuffie (softball), Krista VanSant (volleyball) and Amy Weissenbach (track and field).

The 6-foot Mosqueda-Lewis averaged 22 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals as a senior while leading Mater Dei of Santa Ana, Calif. to its second straight state title and No. 1 national ranking.

She set single-season records with 116 3-pointers and a 87.0 free-throw percentage . She ended up as Mater Dei's career leader with 2,744 points, 874 rebounds and 337 3-pointers.
