A 10-point halftime lead was not enough for visiting Las Vegas on Friday night, as Jayme Connors and Amber Fife rallied Silverado to a 57-48 basketball victory in an early game between unbeaten Sunrise Division teams.
      The Skyhawks trailed 30-20 at halftime, but a switch to a man-to-man defense in the second half paid dividends.
