SOUTH POINT — Thomas Wolfe was right. You can’t go home again.

With construction at the new high school, the South Point Lady Pointers were forced to play Thursday’s home game in the old high school gym.

The Lady Pointers played well for three quarters, then went cold from the field in the fourth quarter as they fell 48-38 to the Oak Hill Lady Oaks.
