Pueblo standout guard America Cazares scored 30 points in a 69-20 win over Desert View Tuesday night at home. 30 points is just below her average of about 32 points an outing this year but that average also includes 64 points against Buena on Jan. 16 and 62 against Desert View on Jan. 8.

Cazares broke her own “Big School” single-game record of 59 she scored against Palo Verde two years ago as a sophomore. Former 2A standout Diane Beecroft of Antelope has the state record of 65 points scored against Bagdad in 1977 and she is number five with 58 she scored against Baboquivari in 1976. Beecroft went on to play for Central Arizona and Cazares is committed to Pima. Pueblo holds five of the top nine points in a game records.

Her 30 points also put Cazares with 2,607 career points, fourth all-time behind former Red Mountain and Stanford standout Kayla Pedersen, who scored 2,611 points before graduating in 2007. Breaking the state record of 2,913 points held by former Catalina Foothills and Arizona standout Julie Brase from 1994-98 might prove difficult but the second spot of 2,680 scored by former Sahuaro and UNLV standout Alyssa Brown is very realistic.

In addition, current Desert Christian senior Tyson Dobbins has 2,350 career points putting him 14th all-time. Dobbins needs to score 2,536 to break into the top 10.

Sahuaro senior Cisco Llamas has 1,830 career points and he is hoping to break 2,000 near the end of the regular season.
