The Colonels' bench players outscore the starters 43-35 as all 10 players register points.

By virtue of its dominating 78-32 win over Patrick Henry on Thursday, William Fleming's girls basketball team finished the regular season with a single loss, meaning Franklin County has to win its final two games to force a playoff to determine the Western Valley District regular-season champion.
