Girls basketball

Fresh off its first State B trophy, Valley Christian appears primed for bigger things.

Carli Smith scored 38 points Friday night as the Panthers opened their season with a 70-27 non-league win at Class 2A Riverside.

Smith finished 16 of 21 from the field and 6 of 9 from the free-throw line. The junior has already eclipsed 850 career points.
