Mercersburg 61, Front Royal Flames 29: After a tough loss in overtime Sunday, the Mercersburg girls basketball team looked to rebound in the final game of the regular season, with a non-league win over the Front Royal Flames on Senior Night.

The Blue Storm came out strong, racking up a 27-4 lead in the first period, with Molly Taylor at the helm, scoring 13 points in the first eight minutes. She completed her final game at home with 24 points and six steals.
