Bainbridge upsets No. 1 Franklin

BAINBRIDGE — No. 1 Franklin seemed capable of unbeaten season after winning a prestigious tournament in Kentucky and rolling through its in-state foes en route to a 13-0 record.

Bainbridge obviously wasn't intimidated by the 3A powerhouse, pulling off a 62-60 upset on Paul Weese's three-pointer with 6.8 seconds remaining in a Metro League on Tuesday night.

"It's a big win for us, and it's a league win so those are always important," said Bainbridge coach Steve Henderson.

Ben Eisenhardt, a 6-foot-10 post who's headed to Seattle University, had 25 points (11 of 15 from the field) and nine rebounds to lead the Spartans (10-4, 8-2). Weese added 19 points.

Franklin star Peyton Siva, who has signed with Louisville, was held to 12 points on 3-of-11 shooting. Chris Holmes led the Quakers (13-1, 8-1) with 11 points.
