Franklinton’s Demons hung on to defeat Mt. Hermon, 50-48, on the final day of the Jimmy Magruder Tournament Saturday.

The event took place at Franklinton, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Franklinton led, 27-18, at halftime before Mt. Hermon nearly came back to tie things up late in the game.

“We didn’t start out as well as I thought we should have,” Franklinton coach Elicia Crain said. “We didn’t make the shots I thought we should have. We just started out slow. We’re getting a different look at things, that I think we need to work on a little more.”

Mt. Hermon’s Nicole Riley led the Lady Jackets with 18 points, including three treys.

Kailee Hughes posted 11 and Jada Norman had nine. Hughes hit three 3-pointers.

Mt. Hermon coach Danny Seals spoke about the contest.

“It was a fast action game up and down the court,” Seals said. “They controlled the inside game. It was a seesaw game the second half. Both teams had many opportunities to score more points but missed shots they should have made.”
