Altavista and Franklin squared off in some playoff action on Friday, but Altavista had to settle for second. They fell 67-56 to the Franklin Broncos. The Colonels were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Broncos apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in February of 2023.
Altavista has also traveled a rocky road recently having lost seven of their last nine matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 12-14 record this season. Those losses can't be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 64.7 points over those games. Franklin pushed their record up to 15-12 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home.
