Jeffersontown 75 Franklin County 66

[Bluegrass Hoops Report]

Franklin County kept it close all night led by Vance Hall's 30-points, but J-Town's pressure defense and athleticism proved to be too much for the Flyers.

 

J-town's Thomas Jackson came up with some huge defensive plays, offensive rebounds, and clutch free throws down the stretch to seal the win, finishing with a team high 27-points.

Thomas Jackson is the best pg in the state IMO. He is very solid at both ends of the floor.

 

Nice win for the Chargers over a quality opponent.

He made some big plays tonight. Took a little while for him to get going, but he was very clutch down the stretch.

 

Vance Hall for Franklin Co was very impressive as well. Had 16 points in the first half and 14 in the second. Just a pure scorer. He should be getting more recogntition

Some very questionable calls in the 4th quarter swung the momentum to JTown. JTown outplayed FC in the 1st quarter, but FC was clearly the better team in the 2nd and 3rd quarters before the 4th quarter rolled around.

 

Vance Hall was the best player on the floor hitting 11-14 shots from the field. Thomas Jackson gutted out some 4th quarter cramps and hit his free throws down the stretch.

Franklin County will be fine come March. Hall will only continue to get better and as he gets better so will the team. Good effort Flyers and start off the district right Friday @ Woodford.

Sounds like the Flyers ran out of gas. It was a tight game at the end of 3. J-Town up only 5 at that point. Other than Hall's 30 points the only other Flyer in double digits was Jennels with with 14. Hang tough guys and go put it on Woodford Fri. :thumb:

Actually I was at the game and Franklin led by 1 going into the 4th quarter. Stretched the lead to 5 and then had a series of costly turnovers in the half court. Good effort by both teams, but both showed its early in the season.

I agree, it was apparent that Franklin Co. was worn out in the 4th quarter. J-town's depth and pressure defense had them gassed by the final period. Hall and Jennel (sp?) had great games for the Flyers but you can only expect so much out of two young kids. They both played nearly the entire game and scored more than half the team's points.

I totally disagree. They didn't look gassed.

 

Terrible call on an obvious charge, and then a 3 point play on the a drive where the guy took at least 3 steps before he shot the ball and was fouled. Those two plays totally threw the momentum towards J-Town.

 

FC only had 12 turnovers and most of those were unforced. J-Town's pressure didn't seem to affect FC.

They were noticeably tired in the final period. Those calls did swing the momentum towards Jtown, and once that happened FC didnt have enough left to pull back into it. And saying that most of those turnovers were unforced is just wrong.
