IT'S BEEN VERIFIED! With LaReesha Cawthorn's 27 rebounds Saturday against EIU, she ties the NCAA single-game freshman rebound record, joining Aneesah Morrow (DePaul, 2021-22), Jillian Alleyne (Oregon, 2012-13) and Anriel Howard (Texas A&M, 2015-16). Congrats, LaReesha! #WingsUp
Only fitting for LaReesha Cawthorn to add one more double-double onto her impressive HS resume๐ @ReeshaCawthorn
Cawthorn will be suiting up for Tennessee Tech WBB next season @TTUWBB
Excellent player, even better person. Left a great legacy for @FsLadyCats
It's been 16 years since Franklin-Simpson made their last trip to the Girls Sweet 16. @coachTaylorFSHS says she remembers her 7 seniors saying they wanted be the next group to make it there when they were just freshmen.
They not only met that goal, but they also lost only 5 total games over the last 2 seasons combined. Incredible legacy.
Franklin-Simpson went wire-to-wire as preseason region 4 favorites to now being crowned champions for the first time since 2009.
From heartbreak in Diddle last year to a dominant exclamation point this year. These girls and coaches deserve all the flowers, theyโve EARNED this.
The Franklin-Simpson Lady Wildcats return to the 4th Region Championship for the first time since 2022 on Saturday!
After defeating Barren County in a heavyweight battle, we checked in with the squad before they go head-to-head with Metcalfe County.

The end goal for every team in any sport is to win the championship trophy, but it takes a full season of hard work and dedication to get there.
Both coaches for this year's 4th Region Girls Championship shared what motivates them to put the best product on the court each night.
