[theguru]

The Franklin-Simpson Wildcats are your 2017 Class 4A State Football Champs!

 

Franklin-Simpson gets revenge after losing the 4A Title Game to Johnson Central last year.

 

Tre Bass and Jevon Covington both had big games for the Wildcats.

 

Congrats Franklin-Simpson! Congrats Coach Preston!

Based on the board's pre-game chatter this should be considered an upset?

 

Congratulations to Coach Preston, who used to coach at Danville as an assistant many, many years ago. I had him as a teacher and it's good to see him get a state championship as a head coach!

First state title in 37 years for the Wildcats. I did not see that coming...

Impressive performance by FS. This is the first (and possibly only) surprise of the weekend. Given what these two teams return, I wouldn't be surprised to see FS and JC back on that turf a year from now.

Franklin-Simpson's 39.6 per game average this year is the highest in the history of the program.

That'd be sort of fitting as a rubber match now that the two teams have split a game off of each other.

I was six years old the last time FS won it all. I didn't care anything about football then. All these years, all those games, all those miles, and finally, FINALLY it happened. Franklin-Simpson Wildcats....STATE CHAMPS BABY!!!!!!
