Speed is the difference so far in this one but Franklin is putting up a fight!

 

[beamer24]

False starts killing us

Updates in the first post of this thread.

Again, I'm a realist & it's going to take a perfect half from Franklin with some help from Hibriten. Great future for you guys with such a young team. (imo story of this game so far is Hibritens speed on D)

 

[DaBluePrint1]

Yep Franklin cant get outside at all on Hibriten.

 

[icardcav3]

Franklin has no offense

 

[icardcav3]

Ball game it's over

 

[DaBluePrint1]

Yep. 16-0...not sure if Franklin can even score..unless on a busted play..offense has been stopped dead in their tracks!!

 

[icardcav3]

I guess those fast corners left their speed in the mountains

 

[DaBluePrint1]

What corners...What speed??

Hibriten 23
Franklin 0

Congrats on the W guys. It's been fun bantering with you.

 

[BiltmoreCANE]

Congrats to Hibriten as they move on to play Shelby. Franklin finishes 13-1, proud of the kids as they never gave up. As I end every season I want to give a shout out to the Franklin radio crew who broadcast the games so those of us who live out of WNC can be apart of the action every year. Enjoyed the Franklin posters this year also. Another year done & they come n go quicker every year. See you all next year for another season of Franklin Panther football.

 

[DaBluePrint1]

Great effort Franklin.

 

[RadioCheck]

Congrats Hibriten. Great team. Defense was incredible. Next week should be a dandy!

 

[Lincolnton]

Hibriten had too much speed and their defense was really good..

 

[Mopar forever]

Hibriten's defense is what surprised me the most tonight. Them jokers was flying to the ball and when Franklin wanted to pass the qb was running for his life ( the Franklin qb had a freaking rocket arm ). That the way they gonna have to play Shelby better not let Malik stand around he will pick you to death

 

[RadioCheck]

Yeah Witherspoon is great but you are right....it’s the defense and team speed that set them apart.
