A year ago, the Salisbury girls’ basketball team got hot late in the season to make a push for a playoff spot. The team might have to do the same thing this season

The only second quarter points scored by Salisbury came when Roxana Cardenas hit a three-pointer as she was on her way to scoring 10 points in the game. Kendra Morgan finished with 14 for the Falcons.
