Correction
Uniontown boys basketball player Adam Franczyk’s name was misspelled in a story in Wednesday’s edition of the Herald-Standard.
Franczyk scored 12 points in the Red Raiders’ 72-65 victory at Laurel Highlands on Tuesday night.
Franczyk was 8-for-8 from the foul line, including six in a row in the final 44 seconds to help Uniontown put the game away.
The Herald-Standard sports department apologizes for the error.
