The Mission Prep and Templeton High girls basketball teams were the only county teams to win Thursday during the opening day of Atascadero’s Ruth Doser Tournament.

Mission Prep defeated Nipomo 66-36 in its first-round matchup.

The Royals’ Bri Harvey scored a game-high 19 points as Mission Prep (2-0) used a big third quarter to break open a game that was close at the half. Mission Prep outscored Nipomo 27-10 in the quarter.

“I was really happy about the way our girls came out defensively in the third quarter to put the game away early in the quarter,” Royals coach John Krossa said. “We forced turnovers that led to fastbreaks.”

Jenna Dunbar had 14 points, and Kaylee Williams added 12 for Mission Prep.
