Franklin Christian Academy (4-3) and Franklin Classical School (4-3) are set to face off this Friday at 7:00 PM. It should turn out to be a fierce showdown as Franklin Christian Academy is ranked 2nd in the state and Franklin Classical School is ranked 5th.
Franklin Christian Academy's encounter with Tennessee Heat three weeks ago was a 35-point stomp, but the result two weeks ago was anything but. Franklin Christian Academy was close but no cigar, losing to The Webb School two weeks ago 33 - 30. The team got a solid performance out of sophomore John Buchanan (he earned two touchdowns and 155 yards rushing the ball); unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the win. This sound performance was nothing new for Buchanan, who has been a rock for Franklin Christian Academy in the past four games.
Meanwhile, Franklin Classical School was crushed by Christian Community 28 - 6 two weeks ago. Franklin Classical School unfortunately couldn't repeat the imposing 48-point effort it came up with in its previous game.
The last time they met, Franklin Christian Academy really took it to Franklin Classical School, winning 62 - 0. This time, their match is expected to be much closer since they have similar state rankings (Franklin Christian Academy at 2nd, Franklin Classical School at 5th). The rematch might be a little tougher for Franklin Christian Academy since the team will be on Franklin Classical School's home field this time. We'll soon find out whether that makes a difference or not.
