Down 10-9 to Tombstone in a low scoring first half, Desert Christian outscored the Yellow Jackets 24-8 in the second half to improve to 5-1 in ranking games and 4-1 in the 2A Conference with the 34-17 victory. Senior Priscilla Genteman leads the Eagles with almost eight points a game and that’s how much she scored in the victory with four of those points coming in the third quarter when the team pulled away from Tombstone.

Junior Cait Lundgren scored a team-high 11 points and Ariana Meares added six to lead Desert Christian. Tombstone was led by sophomore Damaris Alvarez who finished with 11 points and freshman Alyssa Serrano accounted for the remaining seven points. Alvarez is a scoring machine and she is averaging 26 points an outing this year with 883 career points. At her rate, she is projected to break 2,000 career points in her senior season.
Tombstone fell to 1-6 in ranking games with the first set of AIA rankings scheduled to be released on Jan. 13. The Yellow Jackets will host San Miguel (0-9) on Jan. 12. Desert Christian will host 3A program Empire (2-6) Thursday night.
Desert Christian senior Tyson Dobbins has 2,253 career points. 3,000 might be a couple of games out of reach but a spot in the top 10 all-time is likely with 2,535 set by former Cholla standout Chuck Overton. Tyson is currently No. 17 all-time for Arizona #azpreps365 pic.twitter.com/BkiQCvPj74

The race to 3,000 career points continues for Desert Christian senior Tyson Dobbins, who added 17 points to his career total in a 57-25 victory over Tombstone Tuesday night. Dobbins has 2,253 career points and he scored 887 points last year so 3,000 might be in his future if he remains healthy but he is now 17th on the career list for Arizona, one point behind for Corona del Sol standout Alex Barcelo. A spot in the top ten is more likely, however, with former Cholla standout Chuck Overton (1989-92) finishing with 2,535 career points at the tenth spot all-time.
On the girl’s side, Pueblo senior America Cazares had 2,430 career points heading into Tuesday night, which puts her ninth all-time and in fourth place for Southern Arizona. Three boys scored 3,000 or more points in a career (Robert Burries, Globe 3,387, Corey Hawkins, Estrella Foothills 3,154 and Mike Bibby, Shadow Mountain 3,002) but 3,000 career points has not been eclipsed on the girl’s side with former Catalina Foothills and University of Arizona standout Julie Brase finishing with 2,913 in 1998.
Sahuaro senior Cisco Llamas has 1,752 career points as of Tuesday and Douglas standout Diego Lopez has 1,117 career points. Llamas is expected to break 2,000 near the end of the season.
In the victory over Tombstone, The Eagles led 21-6 after one and 30-13 at the half. Dobbins had his 17 points, Samuel Alday added eight and Quinn Wittmann scored six, as did Levi Thigpen. Aaron Alvarado and Josh Givens led the Yellow Jackets with seven points each.
Tombstone (1-7 in ranking games) will travel to St. David (5-0) on Jan. 14 and Desert Christian (4-2) is headed to Baboquivari (4-2) on Jan. 10.
