Meanwhile, Mifflin came up short against South on Saturday and fell 70-63.
Franklin Heights will have to keep a close watch on Chernor Jalloh and Nashawn Mitchell, a pair of players who had a big impact on Mifflin's prior game.

Myles Jarrett was another key player, putting up ten points and five assists.
Franklin Heights strolled past Mifflin when the teams last played back in January by a score of 66-52. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Falcons since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
