Final.

 

The two teams that were expected to make the title game did, though they took some meandering routes to it, especially Corbin.

Franklin County was up 35-34 with under 6 minutes in the game. Corbin made the plays and sealed it with a pick six. 

FC had the lead with 4 minutes or less. Elam and company took it right down to take back the lead. This years FC team will be one of my favorites. I wasn’t too high on them mid season…. Lots of trials and tribulations with this group  and some real head scratching moments as a fan.  But they almost made it back to the big dance. Hats off to the staff and kids on staying the course when many counted them out. Corbin knows just  how close it was!

I totally agree FLYGUY.  It was a different team than Corbin beat earlier this year by 20.  Heck, I thought the Flyers had them beat just under 4 min to go and up one.  This is really one of the toughest Flyer teams in recent memory.  Hats off to the Flyer Staff and the players.  The community is super proud of this group and I can't wait to see the younger Flyers going forward.  The future is bright on 1100 East Main.

Would yal say this senior class goes down as the best to come out of Franklin county? Better then Timmons and Woodside group as well as big Chris Roberts and Lorenzo group, or Fred Farrior class? I’m not old enough to see Roni’s group but was young enough to Remember Kalen and Meetchi Hicks senior group that suffered that heart breaker to Ben and Lexington Catholic that year.

Roni, never made it  past second round, Ammons one appearance in 3rd round I think, Woodside and Timmons third round losses. This group won 3 region titles, state runner up, and two semi final runner ups, the frosh year they lost in second round 18-6 vs, Central without the starting qb. I could be wrong on that. Not sure this group has the most wins, but they have the most post season success.

We got into a debate about it and some alumni feel it wasn’t fair having 5th year seniors. IMO I don’t mind it, guys had an opportunity and made most of it. This has been the best run over 4 years of football in the Nitty. Looking forward to seeing what that sophomore class does when it’s all said and done. 

We had one that played Friday.

We played one, and had the youngest team in the semi finals in all divisions. I can guarantee you.

Had to be. That sophomore group won 8th grade state championship. Definitely built for playoff runs. Wish Jaws would’ve came with them.

Bad move on his part, he would be a big piece.

I think you have to say this class was the best overall.  The numbers speak for themselves.  Also this group works harder in the weight room than what was even expected back in the day.  The toughness is just unbelievable too.  I agree with FLYGUY and his opinion and yes the Flyers lost as freshman to Central 18-6 after losing their starting QB before that game.  They actually had already beaten that Central team at Central earlier in the regular season when they had their starting QB.  In the 18-6 loss they actually were basically dead even with them at the half.  Amazing class and also a salute to Coach James and Staff for the culture he has instilled at 100 East Main in Frankfort.

Him and Kaden together these last 2 years would’ve been crazy to see. Also seeing how Kaden got hurt would’ve had way more touches. Individually he’s still making noise at GRC.

We could be looking at a potentially 4-peat regional championship. Agreed on the weight room Coach Ledford and Coach James committing to that has be the ultimate game changer at FC to play with these big name schools. Talent has never been a question in Frankfort.
