Shorecrest takes a 10-11 season record into the 7 p.m. Saturday game at Ferndale (8-13). Ferndale gets home-court advantage over Shorecrest because of a better record in the Northwest 3A/2A/1A Conference (5-7) than the Scots had in Western Conference 3A play (4-9).

Horning has scored 220 points in 20 games for an average of 11.0 points per game. 

Ferndale lost its first-round game at Wesco 3A South No. 2 Glacier Peak Wednesday, 64-50.
