Senior center Kristi Daffer scored 20 points, while sophomore guards Alyson Kunzi and Ashley Lindgren added 14 and 13, respectively, as Pahrump Valley defeated visiting Western 58-32 in Southwest Class 4-A girls basketball Wednesday.

In the second half of the doubleheader, Johnnie Diggs fired in six 3-point field goals and 6-9 Melvin Washington added 15 while he controlled the boards, as Western prevailed 64-49.

Pahrump Valley's girls (7-6 division, 16-13 in all games) led 24-8 after one quarter and cruised to victory against the Warriors (1-11, 1-14).

Daffer, Lindgren and Kunzi led a first-half charge that gave the PV girls a 24-8 first-quarter advantage that allowed them to coast to an easy victory.

In the boys game, the Warriors had nine 3-pointers and might have had a wider winning margin if they didn't go 3-for-15 from the free throw line. The Warriors are in fourth place in the Southwest at 7-5 (12-9).

Alex Anderson had 21 points and Marvin Weekly added 17 for the Trojans (0-13, 7-17).
