Picking up steam
The Franklin Parish Patriots made their road to the postseason much more manageable after winning back-to-back district contests last week.
Franklin Parish (14-11, 3-2 in 2-4A) took care of Bastrop on Tuesday, 77-64, before completely smothering West Ouachita, 66-39, on Friday to give the Patriots solid momentum going into the final three games of the regular season.

With a formula of physical defense and stingy offense the Patriots frustrated Bastrop (11-8, 3-2) for the entire contest, limiting the Rams' opportunities for easy scores.
