Franklin Wildcats act like the king of the jungle with a 34-0 shutout of Monroe


 

*I am using the rosters from the league's website.*

Franklin, Ohio- First, I want to say thank you to the Franklin coaching staff for finding me a seat in the pressbox, and to everyone I spoke to, thank you for your kindness.

The Franklin defense got things off to a good start when Braydon Isaacs got to Karson Marcum for a loss of 3 yards. Then it was a fumble recovery from Tucker Campbell that not only brought the Wildcats offense onto the field but brought the homeside crowd to their feet.

After getting on the field, the Wildcats offense, with their wishbone ways, used 9 plays to go 45 yards, with Isaacs chugging in from 3 yards out to put the Wildcats up 6-0. Tito Harrison was true on his conversion kick, making this a 7-0 game, with 6:27 showing on the opening quarter clock.

The Hornets offense would convert a third and seven when Marcum found Brylan Miltenberger for a gain of 14 yards. The Wildcats defense would respond when Marcum decided to throw again when Dawson Fitzpatrick did his best Gary Impression by picking the pass off.

Franklin would convert two third downs on the drive with Isaacs scrambling for 8 yards when needing six to move the chains, then it was Malachi Gipson racing for a 14-yard gain when six was needed again to move the chain. From there, the Hornets defense held strong and got their offense back onto the field without giving up any more points.

The highlight of the Monroe drive was a 21-yard catch from Brylan Miltenberger. From there, it was again the sting Wildcats having things their way as they clamped down without giving up any points.

A 16-yard run from Jordan Milligan got things going in the right direction for the home team. A 26-yard completion from Isaacs to Lincoln Clark set up a 1-yard Isaacs touchdown plunge to make this a 14-0 game as the teams prepared for halftime.

Isaacs found Clark for 15 yards on third and six, with 9:17 left in the third quarter. The 7-play, 60-yard drive came to an end with a 6-yard touchdown run from Campbell to make this a 21-0 game, with 7:08 showing on the clock.

With the PA System and scoreboard down, the next score came late in the third, with Isaacs trotting in from 29 yards out to make this a 27-0 game.

The final score of the game came on a 15-yard Issacs run, where he acted like Kenny "The Snake" Stabler by twisting and tunring his way downfield as the Hornets defense looked hypnotized from the movement, making this a 34-0 game.

2024 With Head Coach Jake Heigel from Brockway High School, PA.

Image
  Jake Heigel Brockway High  Head Football Coach Who was the best player you have ever coached against, and what team did he play for? Carson Neely, Port Allegany  Looking back from day one as a coach up to the present, what have been the low and high points of your coaching career? 2020 was a rough first year. We had maybe 15 kids on the roster in preseason sometime in late June. We ended up with probably 6 starters who had never played football in their lives, which isn’t exactly a recipe for success! I was also ejected from our game against Cowanesque Valley. We lost to DuBois 49-0 to end the difficult season... The future did not look so bright. - But fast forward to 2022, where we won our first playoff game 62-6. Followed that up with a win against the reigning western finals champion, Redbank Valley, in a 7-3 fist fight to advance to the D9 championship. In 2023, we won an overtime thriller against DuBois Area 14–13, avenging a 1-point loss at the 1-yard line t...

We fell short last season, but we are coming back stronger. My personal goals were to be a full-time starter and contribute to my team's success. I was able to start and contribute despite a few injuries that prevented me from being 100% throughout the season. What is it like to play for Coach Pendleton? It’s an honor playing for Coach Pendleton; he knows what it takes to be successful and play at the next level. A coach demands excellence and accepts nothing less. What makes Coach different from other coaches is that he teaches us toughness, and that’s what separates Ironton from other teams. Coach has surrounded us with some of the best staff in Ohio. He is the best coach I have ever played for. What is the hardest part of an Ironton practice? The hardest part about practice is ...

You are also a linebacker and a tight end. Of those two positions, which one do you feel y...
