District 10 champs -- again
Franklin won its second straight District 10 3A championship in 2022 and its 10th district crown overall -- or since 1922.
Easton Fulmer broke the school scoring record with 1,596 points and made the all-state team.
Underclassmen teammates Luke Guth and Damon Curry are on the verge of becoming 1,000 point scorers themselves.
Knights had lots to cheer about in 2022!
2022 all-staters
Franklin's Easton Fulmer (right) and Rocky Grove's Isaac Clayton were named to the Pa. Writers all-state team.
Fulmer was named a second teamer in 3A and Clayton a third-teamer in 2A.
Both seniors joined the 1,000 point lists; Fulmer is No. 4 all-time in Venango County history.
Diane Lutz
Judias Johnson of Oil City and Camdon Bashor of Franklin, first-team region all-stars, led their teams to playoff berths. The Oilers made interdistricts for the first time in 50 years! Bashor was deadly from the foul line, too.
Venango Catholic sophomore Lily Homan led District 9 in scoring at 20.3 ppg.
