Franklin falls to WCCA
Wilkinson County Christian Academy scored two touchdowns in the final
quarter to defeat Franklin Academy 22-6 Friday in Woodville.
"We gave up a couple of big plays, but other than that we rounded them
up pretty good," said Franklin coach Keith Tincknell. "We just have to
do a better job of not turning the ball over. We haven't won the battle
of turnovers yet in any of our games."
After a scoreless first quarter, WCCA got on the boardin the second
period on a 23-yard field goal by Todd Gonda.
Gonda extended the Rams' lead with a 62-yard run wth 2:03 remaining in
the first half.
Gonda accounted for WCCA's next TD as he intercepted a pass and
returned it 74 yards for the score.
"We had some pressure and that's just one of the things we have to work
on," Tincknell said. "That was a 14-point swing. But we fought to the
very end."
The final Ram touchdown came on a 71-yard run by Tip McKenzie.
Franklin Academy got on the board with 45 seconds remaining as Dusty
Barefield and Shelby Ziegler teamed up on a 51-yard TD pass play.

Franklin hosts Huntington Friday.

over and we need to keep it out of their hands and keep them off the
field as much as possible."

22-16 win over WCCA.
