Written by: Ryan McHayle

The Boys Freshman basketball are having a spectacular 2025-2026 season. While they had faced one tournament loss, they have otherwise had an amazing regular season! Other than individual excellence, this incredible season can be accredited to the strong chemistry between each and every player. In an interview with the players about how they felt about their season, many expressed content, freshman player Trevor said:

“The season is going great; everyone on the team gets along and works great together on the court. I feel like our last 3 games of the season are going to be our strongest, which is going to make us have a winning season of 20-1.”

The team is excited to finish the season strong and are very capable of doing so. This team has given other schools and even past Franklin teams a run for their money and plan to continue to do so for the rest of their season.
