| "This is the biggest defensive possession of the game right here," head coach Ryan Justice told his team during a fourth-quarter timeout Monday night. The Knights(8-5) had opened the stanza with four points by sophomore Halle Curry to gain control of what previously was a back-and-forth contest with the visiting 11-3 Maplewood Tigers. "Dig in defensively," he told his squad as the scoreboard read 32-25. In the final seven minutes of the game, the Knights had amassed 15 more points and held the Tigers to just four - all foul shots. It's fair to say, they dug in defensively. They blocked shots, forced turnovers and gave very few uncontested looks. It took Maplewood three minutes to score their first point of the quarter - a single foul shot. The Tigers did not score again until both teams had cleared their benches to let the JV squads battle out the final two minutes. The night ended with a Knights victory 47-25. |   |
Katie Boal led a fairly balanced Franklin offensive attack with a game-high 11 points. Curry and Kirsten Hicks both had 10 points. Jamie Blum at nine points and sister Jenn Blum had 7.
The Knights return to action on Thursday with a road trip to Conneaut Area Senior High School.
