The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Edriel Molina-Lopez, who earned 14 points. What's more, he also racked up three threes, the most he's had since back in December of 2023. Another player making a difference was Mykel Owens, who scored eight points in addition to three steals.
Benjamin Franklin took a serious blow against Frankford in their previous matchup back in January of 2018, falling 65-36.
