Fairmont Sr., the No. 2 seed, held off the pesky No. 7 Skyhawks, 55-48.

Travon Horton and Jarin Hilson each had 17 to lead Fairmont Sr. to its 20th win of the season. The 20-6 Polar Bears will meet Bridgeport on Friday in the semifinals. Two of Fairmont Senior's wins this season came against the Indians, the No. 6 seed.
