The Falcons avenged an earlier loss at Hampshire when the Trojans won by 35, 73-38.

Hampshire led 11-8 after the first quarter before Frankfort used a 17-10 second period to lead 25-21 at halftime. The Falcons then led 39-36 going into the fourth quarter and used the free-throw line to hold off the Trojans in the fourth quarter.

“We had a six-point lead with about a minute to go and that was the largest of the game,” said Slider.

Frankfort made 13 of 22 from the free-throw line while Hampshire hit 9 of 14.

Hampshire won the junior varsity game 44-33 behind Jordan Grapes’ 13 points. Trent Hamilton had seven for the Falcons.
