PORT TOWNSEND — Irina Lyons burned the nets for 19 points to lead the Port Townsend girls basketball team to a dominating 54-14 nonleague win over Orting on Wednesday.

The Redskins opened the 2011 Crush in the Slush tournament with the game and now will play archrival Chimacum today in the tourney’s second round.

“Defensively, it is as good a game as I have seen us play,” Port Townsend coach Randy Maag said.

“The girls really got after it right from the beginning. They played a full 32 minutes.”

Port Townsend played all 13 athletes on the roster.
