Barren County ran away from Franklin-Simpson beginning in the second quarter Tuesday night en route to a 75-49 win.

The Lady Wildcats led 16-14 at the end of the first quarter. The Trojanettes posted a 21-9 rally in the second quarter to lead 35-25 by halftime. The run continued in the third quarter — 23-13 — and Barren led 58-38 after three.
