Franklin has gone 6-1 against Andrews recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Thursday. A feisty cat fight will be fought when the Franklin Panthers face off against the Andrews Wildcats at 7:30 p.m. One thing working in Franklin's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last nine matches.
Last Tuesday, Franklin strolled past North Henderson with points to spare, taking the game 77-60. Given the Panthers' advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina basketball rankings (they are ranked 134th, while the Knights are ranked 326th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Jack Jack Teesateskie was his usual excellent self, going 6 for 11 on his way to 24 points in addition to five rebounds and four steals. He continues to improve, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Braylen Dezarn, who went 6 for 9 on his way to 15 points.
Meanwhile, Andrews had already won four in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 27.5 points) and they went ahead and made it five on Tuesday. They breezed by the Bobcats to the tune of 83-22. That looming 83-22 mark stands out as the most commanding margin for the Wildcats yet this season.
Andrews' victory was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 8-3. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 73.0 points per game. As for Franklin, they are on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six contests, which provided a nice bump to their 9-3 record this season.
Everything came up roses for Franklin against Andrews in their previous meeting back in November of 2024, as the team secured an 85-33 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Franklin since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
