Game of the Week - Franklinton (1-1) at Pine (2-0) The social media frenzy is in full swing on this one. Two solid teams who haven't played a game with each other since 2008. The much improved Demons go to Pine to play the Raiders who have established themselves as a regular playoff team.
Get there early. Should be a good one.
Notes and Quotes
"We've got to figure a way to make the next step. A lot of it has to do with the people we're playing, Covington is a really good football team. We struggled to get right when things don't go right. We get the ball to open the second half, we get stopped then we get a stop and the punt hits our kid and it was over. It was like the lights in the stadium went out and we never recovered from it. I think right now you're running into programs and we have another one next week in Pine. We have to figure out a way to make that step, we've got to beat a team that has us down and we're able to figure out a way to come back late. I believe in this team and think this is a good football team. We've got a long way to go as far as the season. There is a lot of football left to play. It's not where you are after week two, it's where you are after week ten. We have to hope we win enough to get in, and get in and make some noise."
---Nick Saltaformaggio,
Franklinton coach
"First game in our classification this year. We were eager to show that we are relevant as we were playing the fourth ranked team. Really proud of the physicality on both sides of the ball as that was really the deciding factor. We have a huge division show down with Wayne this week. We want everyone to please come out and support our young men."
---Jason Johnson, Bowling Green coach
"It was a nice win. I thought our defense played will most of the game. There are still a few things we need to clean up this week on offense." ---Bradley Seal, Pine coach
"Obviously we didn't play well and weren't ready to play. It was a tough week only being able to practice once and that's challenging against a wing T offense where you have to play assignment football. Can't make excuses though, others dealt with some of the same issues with the hurricane as well. They returned the opening kickoff and nor many good things happened after that. Our schedule started with us playing up versus two tough opponents on the road. We finally have our home opener this Friday and a very winnable game. Hopefully, we practice better this week and open up with a win at home." -
---Adam Brumfield, Varnado coach
"It was a good back and forth battle all night long. It came down to little things that cost us the game. Too many blown assignments on defense and offense. We have to get them cleaned up and learn from this game. Getting ready to open up district play this week on the road." ---Destin Pittman, Bens Ford coach
