McKinney loses to tough opponent
The McKinney Middle School co-ed basketball team lost Saturday, Jan. 16, in the afternoon at home versus Legacy Christian. The boys and girls were excited to get the opportunity to play Saturday after having two games canceled earlier in the week due to COVID-19-related issues.
Despite their best efforts, the Bulldogs lost 35–26 to the Knights. Scoring during the afternoon was Landon Harris, with 11, Alex Van Ausdal, with nine, and Kaveeyon Wagner, with six. The team hopes to see some action this week and add to their win column.
