The Antioch Bears will be playing at home against the Franklin Admirals at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: both posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.
Last Thursday, Antioch blew past LaVergne, posting a 54-6 win. That looming 54-6 mark stands out as the most commanding margin for the Bears yet this season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Franklin). They took their game last Friday with ease, bagging a 48-13 victory over Overton. The Admirals pushed the score to 48-0 by the end of the third, a deficit the Bobcats cut but never quite recovered from.
It was another big night for Brewer Wilson, who threw for 201 yards and four touchdowns while completing 73.3% of his passes. Lucas Young also helped with two touchdowns in total.
Franklin's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 5-5. Those good results were due in large part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 7.7 points per game. As for Antioch, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 6-4.
Antioch took a serious blow against Franklin in their previous meeting back in September of 2016, falling 45-7. Thankfully for Antioch, Carter Hendry (who rushed for 77 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
