Franklin County vs. North Laurel Updates (Girls' Sweet 16®)

[16thBBall Fan]

In the final game of day 1 the Lady Flyers take on the 13th region representative North Laurel. Franklin has an RPI of .65891 and North Laurel's RPI is .68455. I feel that even through North Laurel has the higher RPI Franklin Co. has played a tougher schedule. They do have a common opponent that they played just 5 days apart in Ryle. Ryle defeated North Laurel by 16 on Feb. 10th 48-32 and on Feb. 15th they lost at Franklin Co. 66-46. I think the Lady Flyers win this one by double digits.
