The Benjamin Franklin Falcons will take on the Willow Lions at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Benjamin Franklin is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Louisiana's top teams: Vandebilt Catholic, who was ranked 25th at the time (Benjamin Franklin was ranked 23rd). The Falcons never let the Terriers get on the board and left with a 4-0 win on Monday. Benjamin Franklin might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six contests by three goals or more this season.
Meanwhile, Willow hasn't lost a match since January 7th, a trend which continued in their latest game on Tuesday. They and Catholic finished up their match with a 0-0 draw. Willow had to tread lightly for part of the matchup as Sam Mann and Oliver Morse were both handed yellow cards, which could explain the final result.
Benjamin Franklin pushed their record up to 8-5-1 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only given up zero goals over those three contests. Willow's draw makes their record 16-3-3 this season.
Benjamin Franklin skirted past Willow 3-2 in their previous matchup back in February of 2025. Will the Falcons repeat their success, or do the Lions have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
