Desert Vista routs Westview for Division I high school girls basketball title

Fifth-seeded Phoenix Desert Vista defeated No. 6 Avondale Westview 53-37 Saturday in the Division I championship at Jobing.com Arena in Glendale, claiming the first girls basketball title in program history. After a shaky start, Desert Vista (30-2), led by the trio of Emily Wolph, Sabrina Haines and Kristine Anigwe, clearly distinguished itself as the better team, putting the game away by the end of the third quarter. Westview (26-7) had control early on, jumping out to an 11-4 lead after the first quarter and putting Desert Vista on its heels. But Desert Vista responded, finding the 6-foot-4 Anigwe inside for several easy layups. Anigwe had nine points in the second quarter as Desert Vista took a 23-19 lead into halftime. Desert Vista then outscored Westview 20-3 in the third quarter to go up 43-22.
