MABANK–Third-ranked Martins Mill took a quick lead and added to it throughout a 75-42 win over the hosting Mabank Lady Panthers Tuesday night.
The Lady Panthers were scheduled to play in the Wills Point tournament this weekend before returning home Tuesday, Dec. 7, to host another top-10 squad, fifth-ranked (3A) Bullard Lady Panthers, with a 4:30 p.m. freshman contest opening a three-game slate.
Next weekend, Dec. 9-11, the Lady Panthers will travel to Brownsboro to play in the Great East Texas Shoot-Out before returning to host Wills Point Tuesday, Dec. 14.
Each of the last few years, the Martins Mill Lady Mustangs have secured Class 1A state tournament berths, and they showed superior quickness and excellent court awareness against the Lady Panthers.

TRINIDAD–Basketball and fund-raising will go together Tuesday, Dec. 7, when Trinidad plays host to Penelope.
Trinidad varsity boys basketball head coach John Trammell announced this week TISD will be holding its first “Hoops for Hope” event, part of the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches (TABC) “Coaches vs. Cancer” program.
Trammell said coaches are asking everyone to wear pink for the game, a color which has become the symbol of the fight against cancer.
The Lady Trojans will take the floor first at 6 p.m. with the Trojans and Wolverine boys playing afterward.
Trammell said there will be fund-raising activities throughout the night. Money collected will go toward cancer awareness and research.
