FRANKTON, Ind. (WTHR) – Another great year of Operation Basketball is winding down. The IHSAA boys state finals just three weeks away, it’s time for WTHR sports director Dave Calabro to hand out a some hardware.
The town of Frankton is surrounded by farmland. We drove through cold, peaceful scenery Thursday morning en route to Frankton High School - where we found things in the gymnasium weren’t quite as peaceful.
A raucous assembly was underway and the Eagles were wide awake and cranking up the volume in anticipation. They knew the reason for our road trip.
Frankton finished with 22 wins this season and an active student cheer block had something to do with that success. The have good old-fashioned school spirit!
The world-famous Operation Basketball Spirit Award, along with 100 Operation Basketball tee shirts, goes to the best fans in the stands: the Frankton High School Eagles!
It’s the 24th year for the award, and we’re already looking forward to the silver anniversary season.
Nice job Frankton!
