PROCTORVILLE — Maybe the sun and 40 degree temperatures outside melted the snow, but it might have been the Fairland Dragons’ shooting.

Bransyn Copay scored a game-high 25 points for North Adams (5-4).

Fairland led 17-14 after the first quarter as Porter buried a pair of 3-pointers and scored 8 points and Steeler Leap had a trey and scored 7 points.

Porter had two more 3-pointers in the second quarter and J.D. Thacker had a triple and scored 6 points while Zach Tooley got a trifecta and it was 34-22 at the half.
