WINDSOR – Bertie High School has advanced to the Final Four.

The top-seeded Lady Falcons will compete in the Class 1A Girls Eastern Regional championship game on Saturday thanks to their 60-44 win over fourth-seeded Northside here Tuesday night.

In that game, Bertie built a 10-point halftime lead (33-23) and then dashed any hopes of a Northside comeback in the third quarter where the Lady Falcons raced out to a 20-point advantage (49-29).
