The McLennan woman opened the Grayson Classic with an 81-32 blowout victory over the Paris Dragons.
It was evident from the opening quarter that Paris would be no match for the fast-paced McLennan offense. McLennan jumped out early, building a 19-4 lead at the end of the first quarter and extending it to 43-12 at halftime. McLennan continued to dominate in the second half, extending the lead to 47 at the end of the third, 66-19. Paris picked up its gam a little in the fourth but it wasn't enough to overcome the McLennan lead.
