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.

“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.
