(Farmington) The Farmington Knights did their typical explosive damage in a 78-65 victory over the Festus Tigers last (Tuesday) night in the Class 5 District 2 boys’ basketball semifinals on KREI and KJFF.

It was Festus who stormed out of the gates with a strong start.

Farmington would not slow down from there, as Brant Gray finished with a game-high 25 points to help the Knights lead by as much as 18 on their way to the win.

Head coach Terry Noble says the discussion after taking an early punch was simple: get back up.
