The White River High girls had little trouble winning their South Puget Sound League 2A season opener Tuesday night, whipping the outmatched Clover Park Warriors 65-23.
The easy win, played on the Hornets' home court, pushed White River's overall mark to 3-0.
The game didn't start with a bang, as neither team scored for nearly four minutes. The Hornets quickly rattled off nine points and built a 9-4 advantage by the end of the period.
The second quarter made all the difference, with White River pouring in 22 points to take a commanding halftime lead of 31-7. Cassidy France scored 10 points during the period to lead the charge and Kennedy Hobert added seven.
Freshman starter Amanda Lance dropped in three 3-point bombs in the third quarter as the Hornets pushed their lead to 30 points and then 40.
Hobert added 10 points in the second half and finished with a game-high 19. France chipped in with 14 and Lance finished with 12.
