Livonia Franklin Girls Basketball Update 12/31/2025

The Livonia Franklin girls varsity basketball team has signaled they are a force to be reckoned with this winter, jumping out to a 4-2 record through the month of December. Under the direction of Head Coach Colleen Flaherty, the Patriots have demonstrated a balanced attack, highlighted by a dominant 69-32 victory over Detroit Southeastern and a gritty road win against Gabriel Richard.

Mid-Season Analysis

Franklin’s early success has been defined by their defensive pressure and ability to control the pace of the game. After sweeping their opening home stand against Walled Lake Central and Walled Lake Western, the Patriots faced a tough road test against Plymouth Christian Academy. While they stumbled against a sharp-shooting PCA squad and dropped their league opener to Dearborn High, the team bounced back immediately with their highest-scoring performance of the year against Southeastern.

The roster features a veteran presence with seniors Kinsey Nordbeck and Sammy Carignan providing stability in the backcourt, while the emergence of sophomores like Vick Hairston and Bri Wilkerson adds a layer of athleticism that has troubled non-conference opponents. As the calendar turns to January, the Patriots enter the heart of the Kensington Lakes - East schedule, where matchups against rivals like Churchill and Stevenson will determine their postseason seeding.
