Who takes on the Franklin County job now?

[Southtowner]

Any Franklin County folks catch the scrimmage with Rhea?   Any insight to either team?

I'm a Rhea County guy, but I was there. I was very impressed with Franklin County compared to when we scrimmaged them last year. They seem to have found an offense (Wing T) that fits their personnel very well. They aren't monstrously huge on the offensive or defensive fronts, but they are affective and block just long enough for those strong, shifty running backs to make plays.

Franklin is better this year then what we seen last year. 27 for Franklin was an impressive back good size and speed.

Franklin county played very well.From what I could tell I don't think any one player played both sides of the ball. Three key players from last year didn't dress out for the scrimmage. FC hung right in with RC all four quarters. Game ended with RC winning 26 to 20. I honestly think FC will be one of the top 3 teams in region 5 5A this season.

When was the last time a 5A, 6A or D2AA school won a state championship with the Wing T offense?  Not a knock but just saying.

Oakland led Whitehaven the entire game until about 2 minutes left in the championship game of 6A.  It can be done.

1.  Who won the state championship game?

2.  Yes, it can be done but in D1AAAAA, D1AAAAAA & D2AA you need to be able to run a balanced offense.  You also need to have the ability to throw the football & run a 2 minute offense. 

3.  If you run a Wing T offense it becomes very difficult to come from behind late in the game against a good team.

I didn't say they won.   Just making the point that Whitehaven traditionally one of the most athletic teams in the State and last year was on exception.  Oakland controlled that game from start to finish (except the final 2 minutes, obviously)   It's hard to win strictly with a traditional wingT, but there are hybrid versions that have generated success.

One day it will win a championship but as of right now in this state at the highest level since 1969 it has not done so.
