From the Franklinite: Red Law doesn't have any basketball records at Franklin, but this is still a great photo. At 5-10, he could dunk and entertained  during warmups in 1966. One thing he did do is put up an 0 16-16 16 line in a 62-54 loss to Corry in early February 1964. He also made his only free throw the next game. In between time he was 0-for-3 against Oil City and 2-for-8 to end the streak at either 17, 18 or 19. Another  thing he did: outbound Meadvile culture all-stater (first team!) Chris Buchanan, 25-5, in one game. And in case you're wondering, Law scored 632 points as a three-year regular from 1964-66.

Other Numbers of Note

Shaun Grill holds the school and maybe county record with 11 3-pointers in a game. And he probably holds both marks for most 3-pointers in a season with 111 in 2002.

Chuck Snell made 22 straight free throws in 1956, including 20 in one game. The paper called Snell's feat "undoubtedly another record." Snell, in only 56 varsity games, converted 285 of 396 free throws (72%) in his career.

Final point totals for Franklin's first state championship team in 2001: Greg Loeffert 433, Joe Grill 390, Jason Rockwell 387, Shaun Grill 345 and J.J. Horne 195. Pretty balanced.

Meadville's 62-game winning streak at the House of Thrills  went down the drain at the hands of Franklin on Feb. 3, 1970. Bob Witherup scored 34 points, making all 14 of his free throws, in the 66-61 victory.

Franklin's 1949 team, led by Bill "Sleep" Richardson and Ted Marchibroda, finished 22-3 after losing to Sharpsville in the D-10 title game. That was the Nursery's best record since 1927 when the "Steam Rollers," as they were called, went 25-2. Franklin's "Pony Express" squad of 1938 also lost in the D-10 championship game. The Nursery's starting five averaged 5-8, and height-wise were no match for Farrell, whose center stood 6-4.

High-scoring trio -- The Knights just missed having three players score at least 400 points in a season. Dave Miller tallied 519, Kevin Blackhurst 452 and Scott Walters 396 in 1989, Ike Burnett's last season as coach. Those three hit 29 of 41 shots (71%) in a game against Titusville. Franklin scored 100 points three times that year...A few years earlier, in 1971, the Knights almost had a pair of 400-point scorers in Jim Guyton and Mike Bowen. Guyton finished with 470, but Bowen just missed with 395. Guyton also enjoyed a 41-point game, while Bowen later netted 37...

Terri Brinker averaged 23.9 points (335 in 14 games) as a junior in the fall of 1975 in the early days of girls basketball. She graduated in 1977 with every program record to be had at Franklin...Angelina Starr shot 82 percent from the foul line (420/510) and made 154 three-pointers during her career...Becca Gravatt drilled 85 three-pointers her senior year...
