CUMBERLAND — Undefeated Mountain Ridge utilized its balance and used a late second-half run to put the game away in defeating Allegany, 64-38, in Appalachian Mountain Athletic Conference girls basketball action Thursday at Allegany.
Shae Winner led the Miners in scoring with 16 points, while Sarah Raines scored 14 and Emma Baker 10.
