Skylar Groesbeck scored 21 points and the Skyview defense clamped down to eliminate Curtis from the 4A bi-district tournament, 62-47 on Friday.
“We played great defense and moved the ball around,” Skyview coach Brett Johnson said. “It’s all about defense now.”
Skyview (14-5) held Curtis (3-21) to 17 points in the first half, taking a 31-17 lead into halftime.
Johnson praised the big-game play of Groesbeck.
“She led us in pushing the ball up the floor, moving the ball around,” he said.
Kiki Parks added 17 points for Skyview, and Charlotte Baker had 10 rebounds to go with six points.
Next for Skyview is a loser-out matchup Tuesday on the road against either Kentridge or Sumner.
