Alexandria, LA (2/13/2024) – In a riveting clash between the Peabody Warhorses and the Franklin Patriots, the Warhorses emerged victorious with a final score of 63 to 53 on the road.
The intense matchup showcased the resilience and skill of the Peabody squad as they battled against a formidable opponent.
Despite facing adversity, the Warhorses showcased their depth and determination, with standout performances from key players. Rashad Mitchell (#1) orchestrated the offense with finesse, contributing 12 points and 5 assists to lead the team. Isaiah Jones (#11) displayed his versatility with 8 points and 5 rebounds, while Robert Garland (#12) delivered a stellar performance with 12 points and 5 rebounds of his own. J. Mathews (#43) also made significant contributions, adding 10 points and 5 rebounds to the team’s effort.
However, the victory came with a setback as Justin Burns (#21), known for his dominant presence on the court, was sidelined due to injury and unable to play. Burns, who typically averages an impressive 15 points and 15 rebounds per game, was sorely missed by the Warhorses but his absence did not deter them from securing the win.
Looking ahead, the Peabody Warhorses are poised to return home to the Emerald Palace for their next game on February 17, 2024.
