Franklin-Simpson was probably hoping for a more comfortable score in their opener against Portland (TN), but came away with a solid 23-14 victory. Caldwell County stayed neck and neck with Christian County, but missed a game-winning field goal attempt and fell to their larger opponent 23-21. Franklin-Simpson will be wanting to solidify their ranking while Caldwell looks to get in the winning column. Who takes it?

This is a big game for both teams. Caldwell doesn't want to go 0-2 for sure and Franklin doesn't want to lose at home and keep it going.

 

Ultimately, I look for Franklin to have too many athletes for Caldwell. BUT I think it's a 7 point game. 21-14 Franklin.

I think Purple88 is correct. Fs wins, but will be a tough game. FS just has toooo much firing power in the backfield. They didn't play that bad at Portland, Portland has just improved that much. Fs 28-15

It will be a game that puts the FS secondary to the test. From what I've seen Dee Cain is real. Powerful runner with great hands.

From looking at the thread of the Christian-Caldwell game last week, it seems like there were several turnovers by both teams. If Caldwell is turnover-prone, FS can take advantage. I'll say FS 27-21.

Caldwell turn it over four times in the first half.

Love this match up. Did Franklin-Simpson use to be in the old/original WKC? I know Bowling Green was, and was thinking FS, too.

 

Mac?

I am calling the upset here

 

Give me the Dee Cain show for a narrow win

Yes Franklin-Simpson was in the WKC.

 

Tilghman, Mayfield, Murray, Hopkinsville, Bowling Green, Franklin-Simpson.

 

I think also Russellville, Caldwell County.

 

Everyone played in a concrete stadium.

 

When I saw the original "Longest Yard" with Burt Reynolds I immediately thought of Caldwell County.

Caldwell has many more athletes and more overall speed and size than F-S. Not a guess just a fact.

FS will prevail! 24-12

Caldwell has many more athletes and more overall speed and size than F-S. Not a guess just a fact.

 

After review of extensive video evidence this call is reversed.

But it's a fact, a fact.

But it's a fact, a fact.

 

I take opinions with a grain of salt and facts with evidence. That's just old ornery me though.

Caldwell county, if they put the ball in Cain's hands...
