Yoenation79 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Let me start by saying I as a Yoe fan have nothing but respect for the Franklin Lions program. This game will come down to who makes the least mistakes. That includes untimely penalties and turnovers. If you enjoy seeing 2 completely different offensive schemes on display, this is your game. The loser will most likely score a minimum of 50 points. I’m looking forward to this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tiger03lb Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 So what's good to eat in Franklin? Haven't been down there in a few years now. As the Yoe poster stated above, he hit it spot on. All you can do is enjoy the show. This game will be decided by 7 or few points, imo. Don't think there will be a blow out at all. You can argue for each side of who can/or should win but won't be surprised by either of who will win. Hope both teams have a great game and good luck this week.

Need to go to New Baden general store to eat. Friday is all you can eat catfish but it will be packed. They also have great burgers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballwatch Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I’ll roll with the lions in this one by 10. They seem to be getting better every week. Yoe’s defense will have its hands full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the chicken fried steak and was impressed. Overall, the best place in the Centex area for food is Billy B's Sale Barn Cafe in Groesbeck. Really good salad bar and you can include it as a side. As far as the game goes, we may be looking at the two best offenses in the state. If Franklin is attempting one or two passes on the night, it means that they're going to be racking up a ton of yards of the ground and scoring on most possessions. The Lions will run the ball, but it will be up tempo. Get lined up quick and go is what an effective slot-t is all about. The Yoemen will want to be balanced out of the spread, but I could see more of an air raid type attack. If Cameron plays as they have the last few weeks, Franklin will win this game by a few scores. If they play up to their capability, it could go either way. A game in the 50s both ways is probably a good bet.

CMat79 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Self inflicted stupid penalties have plagued the Yoemen that last two weeks. They will need to focus like never before and wrap up on their tackling to have a shot. I don't think Franklin can totally stop Cameron's offense either. Too many weapons and speed plus QB is playing lights out. I agree with everyone that it's going to be a lot of scoring. Rhoades has a history of getting his teams ready for big games. I'm going with Yoe. Both teams in the 50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going with Yoe. Both teams in the 50's. Both teams have speed and both run the offenses to perfection. I do like Franklin chances with the Slot T. Bellville put up 49 and don't run it near as well as Franklin does or has the backs that Franklin does. Franklin's coach has played in some big games and is 36-3 since taking over. I expect a shoot out but Franklin taking the win at home in the 40's. Franklin's style might not let this one get to the 50's Edited October 24, 2022 by lionpride08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franklin's style might not let this one get to the 50's I would take Bellville heads up. There isn’t many teams with overall size and talent on both sides of the ball. Defensively they are one of the better units I have seen in a while. They have given up just 65 points in 8 games. They definitely would not give up 42 to a 2 win Rockdale team.

player73 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) JMO but Yoe had better score 50 if they want to win but again JMO I don’t think their D can slow down the Franklin offense. Don’t underestimate Coach Fannin to get his team up and ready for this game. Definitely going to be a great game.

I have suffered through many losses to my favorite Newton Eagles at the hands of the Yeomen, so I know the intense pride of this team in tough games. Wish I could be there. May the best team win.

Yes I believe it will be standing room quickly... probably about the same as Rockdale stand wise. While Rockdale stands are longer ours is taller for vistor stands. But the stadium has a lot of stand room on both sides. Our visitor parking lot is one of the best in 3a so shouldn't have a parking issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
