Millsap dumps Hico, garners Santo crown
SANTO – Emily Boetz, Ashton Waters and Tiffany Brown each scored in double figures Saturday and powered the Millsap High School Lady Bulldogs to a 54-34 win over 14th-ranked Hico in the championship game of the Santo Invitational Basketball Tournament.
The Lady Bulldogs went 3-0 in the tournament, outscoring their opponents by a staggering 181-84.
Hico, now 8-1 for the year, had rolled into the tournament finals fresh off a win over 17th-ranked Strawn in the semifinals.
Boetz, Waters and Brown proved to be too much for the Lady Tigers. Boetz pumped in a game-high 18 points in the contest, while Waters and Brown contributed 13 and 12, respectively.
Millsap had earned a spot in the final on Friday by hammering out a 53-38 win over the Santo Lady 'Cats.

The Lady Bulldogs, who are coached by Jackie Jeter, opened the Santo tournament with a dominating effort against Lingleville. The MHS girls dispatched Lingleville by a 74-12 margin.
The three wins in Santo extended Millsap's recent win streak to four. The Lady Bulldogs had entered the tournament fresh off a 51-47 win over 24th-ranked Lipan.
