They had played Jasper in a close game on Friday, and then traveled to Brown Coun- ty for a 20 point win on Satur- day. "We just play six or sev- en guys, and with the weath- er and COVID causing sever- al rescheduled games, we just ran out of gas." South Knox pushed their lead to 35 -26, near the two minute mark. The third quar- ter ended with Gish scoring on a drive to make it 37-30. A fter Chandler started the fourth quarter with a basket to make it 39 -30, Gish and Mor- ton combined for six points and cut the Spartans' lead to 41-26 with 6:20 to play, but the Chargers couldn't get any closer. South Knox hit all eight of their free-throws in the fourth quarter to pull away to the 58 -46 final score. CHARGER JVS FALL 48-19 South Knox jumped on the Chargers in the junior varsity game, as Maverick Benjamin scored 10 of this 24 points in the first quarter. The Spartan went onto a 48 -19 win. Three players, Albert Whitehead, Drew Dawson and Breton Fryrear, each had four points to lead the Char- gers. her sectional meet in Jasper. Compare that to the 2:02.14 she swam at this year's HCAC Championships, and you can see the Petersburg native has come a long way. Immediately after wrapping up her career in the 400 free- style relay on Saturday with her three fellow seniors, Bai- ley had bittersweet tears of joy in her eyes. As she went to Coach Hen- dricks, she said, "I never thought I would break one minute." Bailey was referring to the 100 freestyle. In the relay, Bailey turned in a time of 55.74, a personal best. "Quin has made the most of her college experience here at Franklin. She met so many new people, developed friend- ships that will last a lifetime, got heavily involved in Riley Dance Marathon, and became a great performer in the pool when it mattered most," said Coach Hendricks. "Quin's experience was typ- ical of a member of our team and what collegiate DIII ath- letics is all about. She got to experience many things and has left no stone unturned," said Hendricks. Bailey will graduate in May with a degree in Elementary Education and intends to be- come a teacher. She will no doubt take many of the les- sons learned from swimming on her journey forward.
