Franklin's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to King Soloman Hamilton
King Soloman Hamilton helped snap Franklin's 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 victory this season bumped their record up to 1-5. Soloman Hamilton and Franklin will square off against Roosevelt at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 49.60
Cleveland had to settle for second on Thursday, but Sam Ribner sure wasn't going down easily. Franklin had no answer to Ribner as he rushed for 90 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, and also threw 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 square off against Jefferson at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Cash Landau Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Thursday, Franklin got the W thanks in part to Cash Landau playing the best football he has all season. Landau picked up 108 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Landau must have Cleveland's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Landau picked up 206 receiving yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Warriors duked it out back in September of 2023.
