The Matilda Torres girls basketball team used a dominant first quarter to ride to a 46-27 victory over the Sanger Apaches in County/Metro Athletic Conference play.

The Toros outscored Sanger 15-4 in the first quarter that gave them enough of a margin to ride the rest of the game.

Although the Toros committed more turnovers (22-19) than Sanger, they controlled the boards, pulling down 35 rebounds, and nine on the offensive glass.
