Franklin 13, Hunter Huss 7

     The Panthers and the Huskies locked up in an old fashioned slobber knocker Friday night in the Panther Pit.  Franklin broke a 7-7 tie midway through the 4th quarter to seal the win 13-7.  Both teams scored touchdowns in the First quarter and the score remained tied until Blaine Clark would cap a time consuming drive with 7:29 left to go in the game with a 7-yard Touchdown run.  Franklin got a huge effort from the Defense as they came up with big plays time and time again. 

     Franklin moves on to face the #3 seeded Asheville Cougars next Friday night in Asheville.  Asheville beat #14 seed West Iredell 46-8.   

           

 

Game Notes:

     

     Blaine Clark had 127 yards on 37 carries.  His totals for the season are 1518 yards on 321 carries.  His career total now stands at 3,297 yards.  He is 122 yards away from breaking the all time record at FHS.

         

     Since 2000, The Panthers have won 8 and lost just 2 games in the first round of the playoffs.
