Franklin High School student and athlete Maggie Stewart will not be calling her basketball career quits just yet.

Friday at the FHS gym, Stewart signed with the Catawba Valley Community College Bucks to continue her education while playing for the junior college who had a 30-1 record last season and won the Carolinas-Virginia Conference championship.

Baseball

The Franklin High School varsity baseball team snapped an extended losing streak Monday when the Panthers travelled to Bryson City to take on the Swain County Maroon Devils. In what proved to be a shootout, the Panthers eventually sealed a much needed win, 19-8.

Maleeah Langstaff and the Macon Middle School Track Team won first place in a meet on Tuesday, April 9, in Rabun County, Georgia.

Langstaff set a new Macon Middle School High Jump record by jumping 4'10".

The previous school record stood at 4'8".

FORT WORTH, Tex.— The record book will say that Kyle Busch won the NRA 500 on Saturday night. If truth be known, Busch started the process on Friday afternoon and applied the coup de grace with 20 laps left on Saturday evening.

Yes, Busch capped a perfect weekend when he took the checkered flag .508 seconds ahead of runner-up Martin Truex Jr. But Busch’s first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory at Texas, his second of the season and the 26th of his career started with a pole-winning run on Friday that afforded him the luxury of picking the No. 1 pit stall.
