Feb. 24—Kayla Campbell scored a game-high 46 points to lead the Franklin girls basketball team to a road victory over Walton, 58-54.

Walton jumped out to a 20-2 first quarter lead, spearheaded by its defense. Jacqlyn Gransbury scored 10 of her team-high 19 points in the opening quarter.

From there, Campbell took over. She scored 16 points in the second quarter and 20 in the third quarter to give the Purple Devils a 46-43 lead.

"Kayla is a very smooth and talented young lady. We switched defenses, switched players guarding her and even tried to double her," Walton head coach Gary Backus said via email.

"I felt so bad for our kids that played with a lot of energy that I did not have the defensive solution for them," he added.

Franklin stayed hot in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Warriors 12-11 to close out the game.

Makara MacGibbon added 15 points for Walton.

Up Next: Walton will host Sidney on Thursday.
