King Soloman Hamilton Puts an End to Franklin's Losing Streak on Thursday
Thanks in part to King Soloman Hamilton, Franklin said goodbye to their seven-game losing streak dating back to last season. On Thursday Soloman Hamilton threw for 222 yards and four touchdowns on only 17 passes, and also rushed for 33 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Franklin's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-5. Soloman Hamilton and Franklin will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Grant at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.

While Sam Ribner delivered a dominant performance on Thursday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Cleveland. Ribner was dynamite, rushing for 90 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, while also throwing for 190 yards and two touchdowns.
Cleveland is on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-5. Ribner and Cleveland will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Ida B. Wells at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
