By Andrew Snyder, asnyder@starlocalnews.com
McKinney Boyd closed its appearance at the Allen-hosted Texas Open on Saturday by splitting four matches and losing to Plano Senior (25-15, 25-16) in the silver-bracket finals. The Lady Broncos finished sixth overall.
After opening the tournament with a 4-1 run Friday and sweeping pool play to land in the championship bracket, the Lady Broncos beat new district rival Allen (25-18, 25-22) and lost to Lovejoy (25-16, 25-17) to move to the silver bracket, where they exacted revenge against Flower Mound with a two-set sweep (25-19, 25-23). Flower Mound swept Boyd on Tuesday in its first home match of the season.
The win against Flower Mound set up Boyd’s match with Plano, another new district foe. Every team in the new-look District 10-5A – Boyd, Allen, Plano, Plano East, Plano West and McKinney – played in the tournament.
The Lady Broncos will be back in action Tuesday when they host Bishop Lynch at 6:30 p.m.

The Lionettes lost to Rockwall (25-20, 25-23) in the championship match to finish 26th overall.

The Lionettes will return courtside Tuesday when they travel to Frisco Wakeland for a 6:30 p.m. match.
