KEYSER — Jordan Pacella was 10-for-10 from the foul line in the final quarter to help Southern preserve a nine-point lead Friday evening in a 49-40 win over homestanding Keyser.

Matt Wilmer led the Golden Tornado with 16 points, three steals and three assists. Preston Hartman finished with 10 rebounds and eight points and Jeremy Green eight points.
The jayvee game was won 60-40 by Keyser. Wesley Stullenbarger had 18 points for the Tornado, and Joe Kissolovich scored 13 for Southern.
Southern (1-2) plays Smithsburg on Friday in the first day of the Snowball Classic in Oakland. Keyser (2-1) will play Wyoming East in the Wyoming East Christmas Tournament on Thursday.
