The State Journal reports:
The hits keep on coming for the Franklin County girls basketball
team, but they won’t keep the Lady Flyers from making another trip to
the 11th Region tournament.
FCHS defeated Western Hills 61-36
Tuesday night in the first round of the 41st District tournament at the
Frankfort Convention Center.
The victory puts the Lady Flyers in Friday’s district championship game and assures them a spot in the regional tournament.
All of this despite a rash of injuries that started before the season did.

Mello began the season recovering from a torn ACL and didn’t return to
action until January. Ashli Mayes, the team’s only senior, tore an ACL
in December and is out for the rest of the season, and point guard
Nannilena White is sidelined with a shoulder injury.
Last week, against Dunbar, Mello tore her ACL again.
“When

kids to keep faith in each other and keep playing for each other, and
