Patch Oak Creek, WI --
A season to remember for the Oak Creek girls' basketball team came to an abrupt end Thursday night.
The Franklin Sabers used a 20-7 fourth quarter advantage to pull a 58-53 upset and shock the top-seeded Knights in the sectional semifinal.
Oak Creek led most of the way and took a 46-38 lead into the fourth quarter. But after the Sabers' huge comeback in the final frame, Oak Creek's dream season concluded far sooner than they hoped.
The Knights had not lost since their opening game in late November, running off 23 wins in a row and climbing to No. 2 in the Associated Press state poll.
Franklin was paced by Carly Graverson's 23 points, while Cassidy Mihalko added 20, according to WisSports.net. Katie Finn led Oak Creek with 18 points; Steph Kostowicz chipped in 15.
The Sabers (21-4) play in the sectional final Saturday afternoon against Milwaukee Riverside. Reported by Patch 57 minutes ago.
