Washburn’s high school team dominated at the McLean County Acalympics Tuesday in Garrison, tallying 41 points to take top honors, with Max a distant second with 29 points and Garrison in third place with 28.
In the junior high division, Max and Garrison tied for first place – no scores were available.
