Walter Royster Turns in Another Game with at Least Six Total Tackles
On Friday, Franklinton got the W thanks in part to Walter Royster playing the best football he has all season. Royster made 13 total tackles (2.0 for loss) and snagged an interception. The performance also marked the most rushing yards (two) he has had since back in September of 2023. He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made six or more in the last nine games he's played dating back to last season.
The win snapped Franklinton's winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 2-5 record. Royster and Franklinton will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Northern Nash at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.
