Coach Nick Saltaformaggio has advised of the Franklinton Demon football schedule for 2026 with the Demons hosting Amite and Covington before going to Pine and Sumner. Week five will see the Demons host power Lutcher for the first time since 1981. The Demons and Bulldogs have played six times with Lutcher winning the first five back in the 1960's (all regular season games) and the Demons winning in the playoffs in 1981 enroute to the championship game.
The Demons will then play Salmen, Hannan, Lakeshore and Pearl River (not necessarily in that order) before finishing the season at Prairieville, a 5A school in the Baton Rouge area whom the Demons have never played.
The Demons will scrimmage Hammond again for the spring and Kentwood for the fall and will again participate in the Mandeville Jamboree the week before the regular season opens.
