Coach’s quote: “Hinsdale played on Friday while this was our first game and you could tell the difference in the first quarter as we looked nervous. Those jitters led to some really sloppy play. We settled down after that and even had the deficit down to single digits in the fourth, but Hinsdale hit a barrage of 3s, while our shots from the outside were off to continuously keep the game just out of reach.” – Franklin’s Dave Bedard
Records: Hinsdale 2-0; Franklin 0-1
