COAL GROVE - Now that's getting off on the right foot.
The Coal Grove Lady Hornets opened up a comfortable halftime lead and coasted to a lopsided 64-30 season opening win over the Portsmouth Notre Dame Lady Titans on Saturday.
"It's always nice to win that first game," Lady Hornets coach Nick Miller said. "It got a little sloppy at times, but you expect that the first time out."
Samantha Hall and Chelsea Markins scored 17 points each to lead the Lady Hornets. Maggie Young added 8 points.
Maggie Cardosi had 9 points, Chrissy Glockner 8 and Heather Lansing 7 to pace the Lady Titans.
Hall scored 8 points and Markins 5 in the first quarter as Coal Grove took a 15-8 lead.
The defense held Notre Dame to 6 points in the second quarter and Markins scored 5 more points including her second 3-pointer as the lead grew to 28-14 at halftime.
Hall had 6 points in the third quarter as Coal Grove opened up a 46-20 cushion and Miller emptied his bench.
Coal Grove plays at Piketon on Tuesday.
