For the Lady Tigers. they were led in scoring by Shyrell Ross with eight points.
Franklin High School Lady Bronco head coach Mona Sumblin commented after the game, “Yes, we should have won the game. We hustled, but the shots that we normally knock down we were not knocking down. We have to do a better job on defense and rebounds and play better ball in terms of hustle.”
