Abijah didn’t have his most efficient day, but he was still extremely productive and was a major factor in Wren’s win putting up 35 Points and 10 Rebounds on 12-25 FG.

Franklin was a major piece for the Wren Hurricanes who were the 3A Upper State Runners Up last year. Franklin was the 3A State Player of the Year averaging a whopping 23.9 Points Per Game. Abijah is near impossible to stop when he gets a head of steam towards the paint, but is also skilled enough to step back and create space with limitless range. Wren were placed in Region 1 after reclassifying from 3A to 4A and they will be the favorite to win that region’s championship.
