Madison Francis is as advertised.

The Lancaster senior, who was featured on SportsCenter earlier this week for her one-handed dunk, poured in 44 points, including 19 in the first quarter, to lead the Legends to a 78-52 victory over Jamestown in an Erie County Interscholastic Conference Division 1 girls basketball game at McElrath Gymnasium on Friday night.

The Mississippi State commit scored on a drive on Lancaster’s first possession and then drilled back-to-back 3-pointers to start a 16-2 run. By the end of the period, the Legends’ led 31-11, a margin that was 47-25 at halftime.

After the break, the closest the Red & Green got was 18 points, but the outcome was never in doubt.
