Corrections

CUMBERLAND — Fort Hill midfielder Shaolin Murray (No. 6) was incorrectly identified in the photograph from Wednesday night’s Bishop Walsh-Fort Hill boys soccer game that appeared in Thursday’s sports section.

Also, the Northern boys soccer team defeated Southern on Wednesday, 3-2. The headline incorrectly identified Southern as the winner of the match. The story appears again in today’s high school boys soccer round-up.

The Times-News regrets the errors.

 

Liz Lowe places 11th in MR Invite

CUMBERLAND — Fort Hill cross country runner Liz Lowe posted a time of 26:28 to finish 11th in Tuesday’s Mountain Ridge Invitational.

The Times-News regrets the omission from Thursday’s story
