BOTETOURT'S SALVI BOMBS NORTH CROSS

Ryan Salvi sank six 3-pointers and finished with 20 points as Lord Botetourt rebounded from Friday night's loss to Salem, beating North Cross 66-55 in a non-district boys' basketball game Saturday night.

Jeff Cronise grabbed 19 rebounds as the Cavaliers outrebounded North Cross 51-38.
