FRANKLIN:  WEEK 3 PREDICTIONS

By Patrick Forrest | Franklin Media Associate

Commissioner’s Choice vs Fly Agents

Each team is coming off a loss but in very different ways. Commissioners Choice started off extremely slow in their previous game but closed with a fury in the second half.  The Fly Agents started off strong keeping the game close in the first half of their game but had no answers on the offensive end in the second half. 

Alex Sweet (23.5) and Zach Leonard (22.5) lead Commissioner’s choice in scoring, they’ll look for their third wheel to join them to really put the team over the top.  The Fly Agents are led by Beau Beach (13) and Caleb Kleibscheidel (9) in the scoring department.  The Agents must get more scoring from their leaders and they need help as well if they expect to keep this one close. 

Prediction:  Commissioner’s Choice by 15

The Monstars vs Ace In the Cole

The Monstars will be coming off a bye week, well rested and ready to get back to it, look to prove their league domination can continue.  If Marcus Haislip score 30-plus points again and Chris Harris shoots over 85 percent from the field, that answer will be an easy yes.  Although it was only one game, it is going to be difficult for this team to lose.  Tough matchup for Ace In The Cole, they’ll need to be playing at their absolute best to pull off the upset. 

Big man Cole Theodoropoulos is going to need to pull out all of his tricks on the offensive and defensive end as I am sure he will draw Haislip.  Guards Kendall Graves and Eli Zeigler will need to have strong a strong shooting night and be able to control the pace of the game as well, picking their team’s spots.  Bryan Kimmons will need to get his mid-range game going, Ace In the Cole is going to need as many points as they possibly can to keep up with the Monstars.

Prediction:  The Monstars by 22
