Important Note regarding Video Streams

At the request of the Franklin High School Athletics Department, live streams of games will no longer be shown on The Saber Roar YouTube channel. Moving forward, live streams of home games will be shown on HUDL Fan. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our followers.

We will continue to share links via our socials and here on our website, so you won't miss any action. Additionally, we will also continue to stream the majority of games from schools that do not have HUDL via YouTube. They will then be uploaded into HUDL for purchase.

FYGBA celebrated at Youth Night!

Friday, January 10 was a landmark evening for FYGBA and the entire Girls Program!

 

The Sabers crowd joined our guests from Tremper to witness 50+ future FHS Sabers join our High Schoolers on the floor for warmups, starting lineups and the National Anthem.

 

Then random players from each team were represented in the first Hot Shot Competition during halftime, with Team Saber Strong winning Amazon and Starbucks gift cards. Three lucky FYGBA student-athletes also went home with some sweet FHS Sabers swag!

 

Check out the photo gallery for images from the evening.
