Lopsided contests are most common in the first round of the playoffs. One of those lopsided get-togethers occurred in the 2A bracket when Strom Thurmond traveled to face Landrum. With a 26-point outburst from Fortner, The Cardinals successfully defended The Cage to the tune of a 73-18 victory over the Rebels. As one of the state’s premier sharpshooters, one would expect for 3-pointers to be aplenty. Fortner had six of them and Landrum as a team connected on 10 of its attempts from behind the arc. Fortner already has participated in one state championship game two years ago and is in search of one more state berth in her senior season. Next up for Fortner and her Cardinals is a second-round matchup against Saluda.
