By the way––the two sisters are eighth graders.

Kayla Campbell scored 19 points, 15 coming from three-pointers, in the first half as Franklin rolled to a 32-18 lead. Marissa Campbell contributed five of her 10 points in the first quarter.

Oxford clawed back, closing the deficit down to nine points behind Freshman Karley Miller’s 14 points in the third quarter as they out scored Purple Devils in the quarter 8-5.

But the early game lead by the Purple Devils was added to as Franklin outscored the Blackhawks in the fourth quarter 12-7, closing out the 47-33 win.

“[Franklin] outplayed us in the first half as they beat us to the loose balls,” said Oxford’s head coach Chris Palmer. “We fought back in the second half but just couldn’t get over that 10 point hump.”

Miller finished the night with a total of 15 points, leading the Blackhawks in the game. Teammate Allison Beckwith grabbed nine rebounds in the contest.
