January 6Jan 6 2025 was a year when Franklin County was supposed to face adversity and struggle on the field. Franklin County continued to work each week and push themselves to find whatever strength they had buried within. Week after week, they answered the call and improved. They finished their third straight regular season undefeated and then entered the gauntlet of 4A playoffs. These players answered the call against very talented teams, Valley, North Oldham, and Paducah Tilghman, in the playoffs to earn a trip to Kroger Field to play for a state championship. Franklin County met a tough Boyle County team that went on to win the state championship. 2026:Although losing several key contributors on offense and defense, Franklin County football is still here, still working to get better, and still trying to kick down the door in front of them. The culture has been set at Franklin County, and the work is being put in to break down that door and win the most sought-after game in high school: a state championship. In the past six years, Franklin County has won six regional titles, reached the semifinals six times, and appeared at Kroger Field three times. Making Franklin Co 41-3 in the past three years, with those three losses to eventual State Champions Boyle Co twice and Paducah Tighman. What will this year's team do to continue the growth after losing several key contributors from last year? It’s next man up! There are some returning players to be excited about: Knox Barrett, Joe Montgomery, Ty Smith, Aaron Vaughn, and Aaron Jones. A couple of freshmen looking to contribute are Preston Schaffer and Camar Moore. On defense, Zander Edington, Lane Brock, Corieon Tabbs, and Nick Dunmire look to grow and lead. In my opinion, 4A is the toughest section from top to bottom. Out of 39 teams, Franklin County has continually been in the mix, and this year should not be any different. Could this be the year Franklin County kicks down the only door left standing in front of them? It's early, and a lot of work remains. While 2025 ended in heartbreak, 2026 is here, and there's a sign in the locker room that describes this perfectly: “Nobody cares. Work harder.” This is why Franklin County continues to improve and remain at the top of 4A among several other powerhouses. 2026 Schedule Scott Co (Battle of Elkhorn Bowl) Bullitt East (H) PRP (H) LCA (A) Shelby (H) Lincoln (H) Spencer (A) Grant Co (H) TWSFT (A) Bowling Green (A)
January 27Jan 27 One thing we know is that the Flyers will put in the work. I believe some of the younger players (mainly sophomore) will take a huge step up for the Flyers.
June 9Jun 9 Since they ain’t in the same class as my team I would like to see them get one they have been so close it would be nice to say all that hard work pay off.
