Dennis Phillips publisher@robconews.com Robertson County News FRANKLIN — The Franklin Lions showed why they’re among the most dominant programs in Class 3A football Friday night, rolling to a 79-20 district victory over the Cameron Yoe Yoemen in front of a packed home crowd. Franklin’s high-octane rushing attack set the tone early as Jordan Atchley broke free for a 66-yard touchdown on the Lions’ first possession. Bubba Jackson followed with a 77-yard sprint in the second quarter, part of his three-touchdown, 122-yard performance on just six carries. Walker Anderson added a 52-yard scoring run and connected through the air for three touchdowns, hitting Tyler LeBouef, A.J. Phillips, and R.J. Fulton for scores of 14, 61, and 28 yards respectively. The Lions rushed 34 times for an astounding 605 yards, led by Atchley with 87 yards, Anderson with 60, and Seth Januse with a 50-yard burst. Aaden Johnson added a 64-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, while Will Scarpinato electrified the crowd with an 80-yard scoring run late in the third quarter. Gerson Martinez contributed 10 kicking points, staying perfect on extra points throughout the night, while Franklin’s defense added a safety in the fourth quarter. The win lifts Franklin to another commanding district mark as the Lions continue to dominate both sides of the ball heading into the final week of the regular season. The Lions currently stand at 6-2 overall and 4-0 in district play, riding a five-game winning streak that has kept them firmly atop the District 11-3A Division I standings. Franklin has outscored opponents 427-246 this season, averaging 53.4 points per game while allowing just 32.8. The team has been particularly strong at home with a 4-2 record and remains unbeaten on the road at 2-0. Next up, Franklin will travel to Rockdale on Friday, November 7, for their regular season finale. Rockdale enters the matchup 4-5 overall and 1-3 in district, looking to bounce back from consecutive losses. The Tigers are averaging 32.8 points per game but have allowed an average of 15.3 points in the fourth quarter, an area the Lions’ relentless offense may look to exploit. With the district title within reach, Franklin will aim to close out the season strong and carry its momentum into the playoffs. Pub. Note: Cameron will play Rockdale this coming week. Should McGregor win over Troy this week and Cameron win, Cameron will make the playoffs. Should Rockdale win, neither Cameron or Rockdale will make the playoffs. With a McGregor loss, the winner of Cameron vs. Rockdale will make the playoffs in the 4th seat, the other goes home for the season.
