Heidelberg hosts a first-round, Class 3A state playoff contest Tuesday, when the Oilers entertain the Division 6-3A runnerup.
Forest girls 50, Heidelberg 44: The Lady Bearcats from Forest built a 26-23 lead in the first half and doubled it for the final margin in the 7-3A girls' championship contest.
Forest, the defending Class 3A runnerup, got 14 points from DeeDee Bryant and 10 apiece from Ebonee Leverette and Patsy McKee in the victory.
Heidelberg was led by Katina Fowler's 14 points, while Lakesha Hales scored 13.
