The McLennan Highlanders slammed the Fort Cavazos Phantom Warriors 106-74 this afternoon at The Highlands.
 
Fort Cavazos began the scoring with a bucket in the lane from Zach Adair. The Phantom Warriors would lead 5-3 before a jumper by Antwone Gonzales and layup by Daylon Dickerson gave McLennan the 7-5 lead with 16:55 to play in the first half. Ledrick Eackles went 3-3 from the free throw line for Fort Cavazos to go up 8-7 but that would prove to be the Phantom Warriors least lead of the contest. The Highlanders responded with a jumper by Mason Lockhart to go up by one and followed with another bucket by Gonzales to go up by three. McLennan continued to pull away. The Highlanders led 48-33 with one minute to go in the half and ended on a 5-0 run comprised of a 3-pointer by Jaden Walker and a pair of free throws from Landon Anderson to lead by 20 at intermission, 53-33.
 
With the game already in hand, McLennan opened the second half on a 15-3 run to extend the lead and cruised the rest of the way to the easy victory.
