Franklin Central Confident

As stated yesterday, the Southport Semi-State game featuring Bloomington South and Franklin Central is not the first time these teams have met this year. Back in January, the Panthers whipped the Flashes 77-45, a 32-point defeat for the Indianapolis-area team. Since then, Franklin Central has made some serious improvements, leading them to a big upset win over Lawrence North in regionals, advancing them to the final four. Their best player is 6'8 senior Partick Bade, a Purdue recruit, who has had an outstanding postseason, including two 20-plus point efforts in regionals. Included is a recent IndyStar article about the Flashes and what they believe are their improved chances to knock off the undefeated Panthers. Enjoy!
