FROSTBURG — Alycia Horner scored 13 points and Heidi Welch and Alli Shaffer had 10 as fourth-seeded Southern defeated fifth-seeded Fort Hill, 56-36, in their Class 1A West section playoff game Tuesday at Mountain Ridge.
The first-round was scheduled to have been played at Southern on Friday but was postponed repeatedly because of snow and snow removal at the Oakland school, then was moved to the neutral court of Mountain Ridge.
