The Franklinton Junior High Falcons football team recently played the Varnado Wildcats and came out on the good side of a 22-0 victory which kept Coach Andy Creel and his Falcons in contention for the Washington Parish Junior High Championship to be held 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 Kaleb Causey ripped off a nice sixty five yard touchdown run at the 5:58 mark. Rajon Covington added the two point conversion and the Falcons had taken an 8-0 lead. The 8-0 lead would be the score at the halftime intermission as the two teams battled it out the rest of the first half with neither team scoring.
In the third quarter Kaleb Causey again scored when he intercepted a Wildcat pass and returned it fifty six yards for a touchdown with 4:48 on the clock. Covington again added the two point conversion to put the Falcons out in front 16-0.
Late in the fourth, seventh grader Jordy Thomassen ran twenty two yards for a touchdown. The two point conversion was stopped by the Wildcats and the score was 22-0 in favor of the Falcons. That score would be the final.
