The Breckenridge Lady Buckaroos tipped off their 2019-2020 basketball season with a great performance against the Clyde Lady Bulldogs. Breckenridge won their opener 48-39.

The Lady Bucks scored off the opening tip-off with a pass from Nayeli Hernandez to Madison Stanley. Breckenridge was able to control the game defensively early, but a 3-pointer by Clyde gave them a 4-3 lead.
