Sparks scores 17 as Ball State beats Franklin 87-60

Led by Payton Sparks' 17 points, the Ball State Cardinals defeated the Franklin Grizzlies 87-60

NOVEMBER 9, 2024 • Associated Press

Zane Doughty - Plays four minutes off bench Doughty (foot) ended Friday's 87-60 victory over Franklin with one point (0-1 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one block over four minutes.

Impact Doughty didn't make a big impact in the win over Franklin. However, the four minutes he logged off the bench were enough to believe he can be a contributor down the road now that he's healthy.

Zane Doughty - No action in opener Doughty (foot) did not appear in Monday's 71-66 loss to Georgia State.

Impact Doughty was ruled out for the season last January with what was later revealed to be a foot injury, and with little media coverage surrounding the program, one can only assume that the affects of that injury are still an issue for the 6-9 center. He remains on the team's official roster, but it's unclear if or when he'll make a return this season.

Ethan Brittain-Watts - First action since 2022-23 Brittain-Watts (leg) posted 12 points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and four rebounds in 23 minutes during Monday's 71-66 loss to Georgia State.

Impact Brittain-Watts played his first four collegiate seasons at Boston University before sitting out a season ago with a leg injury. Now at a new home for his final year, the 6-1 guard has seemingly settled into what looks to be a productive reserve role for the Cardinals.
