Trouble at Franklin? |
Lead | ||
|
I heard they might be in trouble again this week. The loss to Western really exposed their holes. This team just doesn't seem to be as physical or hard
working as they have been in the past? What do you guys think? Wayne could upset them if this is the case!!!

I wasn't at the game last week, had to work, but from a good friend of mine close to the program just said that they came out flat in the first half. As
far as not working hard, I can't imagine that Coach Fortin would allow that. We will see tomorrow night around 7. I'll be there up close.

Franklin..... | #2 | ||
|
just beat Wayne 41 - 7.
Coach Kelbert and his coaching staff did a great job getting them ready. I coach the JV so I really don't get involved with the varsity until Friday nights. Coach Dante |

I know that you worked a lot with these kids during Blue Jays, and you have a strong work ethic that you instilled in your son. I'm sure that it has rubbed
off on the kids at the varsity level.

The Western game.... | #4 | ||
|
was a huge wake up call for the varsity.
There is plenty of talent on this team but if you think you can just show up for a game and expect to win on talent alone, your sadly mistaken. I am really excited watching the direction the Franklin program is going and I am glad to be a part of it. CF |

I just wanted to let you know that I admitted my mea culpa regarding Stevenson and Franklin on the Mlive fourm a coupla weeks ago. I am not sure you saw it
and wanted to 'come clean' here.

BiasedGuy, no doubt Stevenson's line is no where near the level of talent they had the past couple of years. I would have thought returning 3 starters that
they would be just as good if not better than last years. I think this really shows that High School football is won and lost in the trenches. You can have the
best RB in the state and still lose if you cant open up holes for him.

No problems....
It is a great rivalry that will last a life time between Stevenson and Franklin. All we can do is prepare these athletes and let them play the game. I have said this over and over again, (and I know Spartan will agree) the Game is won in the trenches..... PERIOD!!! Look at Macomb Dakota right now. (I heard they average about 300 lbs. and they only play offense) When you have depth and can use just players on one side of the ball instead of playing both ways, it will go all long way for your program. Take care. Coach Fortin |
