Boyd wins McKinney-heavy OrthoTexas Invitational
Boyd came out on top, beating McKinney 71-66 in the OrthoTexas Invitational championship game. McKinney high schools were well-represented in the eight-team boys basketball tournament. In addition to the all-McKinney finals, McKinney North advanced to the semifinals, making three of the final four teams hailing from McKinney.
Broncos senior guard Michael Grant was named the tournament MVP. Boyd hosted the weekend holiday tournament which began on Friday. In addition to Boyd, MSH and North, other tournament teams included Lovejoy, Rockwall, Little Elm, Richardson Pearce and Frisco Centennial.
Lovejoy was the host site for the inaugural tournament in 2009, with Plano Senior laying claim to the event the past two seasons. The event had previously been known as the Avery Air Invitational.
Bobcats end 2012 with loss
The Celina boys basketball team was in action on New Year’s Eve and ended 2012 on a losing note.
The Bobcats dropped a 75-58 contest to Quinlan Ford after both teams entered the locker room with a 30-30 tie.
A pair of juniors led Celina in scoring with Braylin Brown pouring in a team-high 16 points and Deshawn Davis adding 12 more. Senior Kyle Sudberry became the third Bobcat in double figures after chipping in 12 of his own.
Celina will look to start the new year on a winning note when the Bobcats and Lady Bobcats take on Nevada Community in back-to-back home affairs.

McKinney North senior guard Alexis Mason set the Lady Bulldogs’ school record for most points in a single game at 33. The effort came against Plano in the semifinals of the Sherman Holiday Classic.
North beat Celina 62-52 in the final to win the tournament championship. North also beat Melissa 66-50 and Plano 67-62 earlier in the weekend’s holiday tournament. Mason and teammate KK Connor earned all-tournament honors. With their successful weekend, North improves to a dominant 19-3 on the season.
