Bennett signed with SE Oklahoma.

[lionpride08]

Washington signed with Baylor

Only football player that has signed for Franklin this year I believe. Still a lot of talent in the underclassmen

[GoBigBlue]

Can't wait for the Brock and Franklin rematch.  Both teams bring back a ton of talent.

Got alot of football before that could happen. Lorena, Hitchcock, and Columbus had a ton of underclassmen. Gonna be tough to get out of the region

[GoBigBlue]

Still think it'll be a rematch and a great one at that.

Can't tell them nothing. Lol. I wouldn't count out koff on the other side. 

[GoBigBlue]

Koff is good too.  But usually everyone is at that point.  Koff needs to worry about Daingerfield first.
