The Franklinton Red Rams are packing up and heading out on the road for their first away game of the season: they will square off against the Corinth Holders Pirates at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Both come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Franklinton is headed out to face Corinth Holders after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. The Red Rams skirted past Rolesville 35-33. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Red Rams have posted against the Rams since December 14, 2018.
Meanwhile, you're bound to get a positive result if you outscore your opponent every quarter and that's exactly how it played out for Corinth Holders on Saturday. They strolled past Garner with points to spare, taking the game 57-40. The victory continues a trend for the Pirates in their matchups with the Trojans: they've now won five in a row.
Franklinton better focus on containing Jada Vanderhorst and Darla Lee as the pair were huge in Corinth Holders' win. Vanderhorst dropped a double-double with 14 points and 15 rebounds, while Lee posted 19 points and six boards. Vanderhorst is on a roll when it comes to boards, as she's now pulled down eight or more in each of the last eight games she's played dating back to last season. The team also got some help courtesy of Lauren Sizemore, who scored five points in addition to nine rebounds and five steals.
Franklinton didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup against Corinth Holders when the teams last played back in November of 2017, but they still walked away with a 48-42 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Red Rams since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
