Franklin-Simpson 35 Hopkinsville 20

[FSfan]

Final

 

FS rallies from 20-0 deficit early in the second quarter to score 35 unanswered. FS will host Collins next week.

Wow, really nice comeback!

FS played lights out.

I don't know what the official record is, but I can't remember FS coming back from a larger deficit than they did tonight.

 

Hopkinsville's first TD pass was a beautiful play action fake and great deep pass for 45 yards. Their passing game was clicking early, but FS made adjustments and shut them out over the last 33 minutes.

 

James Baker was all over the place tonight for FS. Ran for 2 long TDs, caught a TD pass, made an interception and several great plays on defense. Dion Pearson mauled Hopkinsville's center and guards. Rylan Thomas made some great passes tonight. Tre Bass, Saul Brady and Carlos McKinney continued to be the three headed monster on offense.

 

This team shows a lot of poise when they get in a jam. Last year's team did too.

James Baker has emerged as an impressive all around football player.

James Baker has emerged as an impressive all around football player.

 

I was really impressed with him last week against Madisonville. I know the opponent wasn't great, but he dominated that game. Fun player to watch!

Lights out...good one macdon

[macdon]

Ya had to be there to appreciate the second eclipse.

I wanna give some love to the FS OLine. With so many different backs running for 100+ per game there must be some running lanes somewhere. I thought the FS OL took over in the second half. The 4th quarter drive to go up 2 scores was a thing of beauty! Congrats to Hoptown on a great game and a classy game on the field. They really came together the second half of their season and finished very strong

[macdon]

Hopkinsville is a program that respects the game, their opponent, the competition, and the facilities. They overcame adversity and true tragedy to make this a successful season and lay the groundwork for the future.

 

Winners.
