Panthers look to Young for big senior season (8/10/07)
If you’re looking for a
crucial component as to what kind of success the 2007
Franklin High football team might enjoy this season, look no
further than senior RB/LB Josh Young.
 Young
(6-0, 215), entering his third season as a starter at LB,
finished second on the team each of the past two seasons in
tackles (114 and 79, respectively), while ranking third in
rushing during his junior campaign with 659 yards. With
the graduation of the top two rushers from 2006 (Chris
Lequire and Robert Browning) and the team’s leading tackler
the past two seasons (Michael Carson), Young will be looked
to and counted on heavily as the leader on both sides of the
ball this fall.
Not only the leading
returning rusher and tackler, Young also returns as the
team’s leading pass catcher from 2006 with 14 receptions
(154yards).
A bruising runner and
punishing tackler, Young is currently 73 tackles shy of
Carson’s school record 268* and 321 rushing yards away from
becoming the school’s 16th * career 1,000 runner.
Franklin, coming off
back-to-back 11-2 seasons, will open their 2007 schedule
August 17th at home against Hayesville.
