Franklin Road Academy needs to make room in their trophy cases as both the boys and girls basketball teams won the Division II-A East/Middle District titles last night.
The Panthers narrowly defeated rival Battle Ground Academy 74-69 in the battle between the top two seeds in the tournament.
FRA Upper School Dean Prentice Stabler posted his congratulations to the boys team on Twitter.
