If Lyon County’s girls were sluggish because of the early start time, you sure couldn’t tell it.
The Lady Lyons opened the game with a 17-3 run and went on to rout Massac County (Illinois) 73-36 Saturday afternoon in the 2024 Holiday Hoopla Classic at McCracken County.
The game was the first of six Saturday at Strawberry Hills Pharmacy Arena in West Paducah and tipped off at 12:30 p.m.
However, Lyon showed no ill effects of the early start, leading 24-11 after after one quarter and 46-18 at halftime.
The contest hit the 35-point margin for a running clock midway through the third quarter on a 3-pointer by Trinity Taylor.
Lyon took a 68-25 advantage to the fourth quarter.
Taylor dumped in 22 points to lead four Lady Lyons in double figures. Courtney Collins had 17 – all in the first half, Jenna Coursey 14 and Piper Cotham 13.
Coursey grabbed eight rebounds and Collins had seven.
The Lady Patriots (3-7) got 12 points from Kenna Hight and 11 from Lydia McCraw.
It was the fourth straight victory for Lyon, which is off to a 5-1 start this season.
The Lady Lyons next host Crittenden County for 5th District action Tuesday night.
