One Down - Four to Go

The Franklin High Rebels claimed victory Friday night over an excellent Antioch team in round 1 of the Tennessee State 5A Playoffs. Antioch, led by Lamarcus Coker, was as solid of a team as the Rebels have played all year. Possibly, the best team the Rebels have played all year. With time running short, and Franklin down 7 - 3, Derrian Waters hit quarterback Jonathon Haynes with a halfback pass at the goal line for a touchdown, which set up the victory for Franklin.

Shortly after, with less than 2 minutes in the game, and trying for a long pass toward the end zone, the Antioch quarterback put the ball up and FHS defender Shannon Derricks came up with the interception. Franklin only had to take a knee for the next three plays and came away with the win.

The Rebels will play Clarksville on Friday, November 12, in round 2. The game will be at Franklin's Howard Gamble Stadium at 7:00PM.

Congratulations to the team and coaches for a hard fought win.
