Merrill turned a relatively close game into a blow-out with a 19-0 run from late in the first half into the halfway point of the second half. The Jays reached a 63-19 lead nearly three minutes before the 9:00 remaining point with a 40-point lead that turns on the running clock.
The girls built a 46-19 lead in the first half of the contest, then put away a 70-24 game with a 24-5 second half.
