The Franklinton Junior High Falcons defeated the Mt Hermon Yellow Jackets last Tuesday evening, 30-0. This continues to keep the Falcons in contention for the Washington Parish Junior High Championship which will be played later this month at Varnado. The two teams with the best records of the four parish Junior High teams qualify for the Championship game.
The Falcons scored in the first quarter when Jacob Crain passed to Deon Melton for forty two yards and a touchdown. Rajon Covington ran in the two point conversion for the 8-0 lead at the 4:04 mark.
Later in the first the same duo of Crain and Melton hooked up again for a thirty eight yard touchdown with :49 left. Crain ran in the two point conversion for the 16-0 lead.
In the second the Falcons put together a drive that was capped off by Covington as he scored from eighteen yards out with 6:35 left. The two point conversion was stopped by the Yellow Jackets and the score stood at 22-0.
Late in the first half Jordy Thomassen scored on a twelve yard run to push the score to 28-0. The two point conversion was good when Thomassen passed to Damikies McClain which made the score 30-0. That would be the score at the halftime intermission. Coach Andy Creel played most of his bench in the second half and the score remained at 30-0 for the remainder of the game.
