Orlando, FL - The Texas Legends (0–1) came up short in their 2025–26 regular season opener Friday afternoon, falling 129–116 to the College Park Skyhawks (1–0) at the Orange County Convention Center. 

Texas kept it close through the first half but was outscored 35–21 in the third quarter and couldn't recover, despite a strong fourth-quarter push. College Park's outside shooting proved the difference, as the Skyhawks hit 21-of-47 from beyond the arc (44.7%). 

Dalano Banton paced the Legends with a game-high 35 points and 12 assists while Sheldon Edwards had a career-high 27 points on 10-of-16 shooting, including 7-of-12 from deep.

College Park’s balanced attack featured five players in double figures, led by Caleb Houstan (25 points, 8 threes) and MJ Walker (23 points).
