Brandon Bennett and Raphael Oloyede led their team with 13 points each in the boys’ basketball teams’ loss in Dec. 27 Keith Benovengo Memorial Tournament play to Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School at Scotch Plains.
Also contributing to the effort were Jaelen Davis with 11 points, Hasheem Miller-Ware with 7 points, Giovante Robinson with 5 points and Kareem Cotton and Alex Smith with 2 points each.
Davis and Miller-Ware each hit a 3-pointer, while Oloyede had six field goals and Bennett had five.
Franklin did outscore Scotch Plains in two quarters — 15-14 in the second and 16-8 in the fourth — but it was not enough to overcome the lead that Scotch Plains built during the rest of the game.
The loss leaves Franklin with an 0-3-0 record for the season.
