Kendel Blue was able to get big yards for the Eagles all night.
FRANKLIN- The Broncos were trying to rebound from a lost to their rival and Greensville County was looking to crack into the top 4 to host a playoff game in the district match up. One would definitely leave disappointed and the Eagles were making sure it wouldn't be them.
Greensville came out and steady moved the ball down the field with runs getting a feel on what to expect from the Bronco defense. Franklin would have their backs up against the wall in a goal line situation to only fall short of a key stop when Kemory Sykes would find a hole from 6-yards out to make it 6-0 with 7:17 to play in the 1st quarter.
Jayden White scrambles for a first down and out of bounds for the Eagles.
Franklin would not be able to move the ball on offense and would quickly give it to the Eagles. Greensville's Jayden White would go untouched for an 18-yard run for the touchdown. Kendel Blue would run in the conversion to give Greensville a 14-0 lead with 4:18 in the 1st.
The defense would tighten up as neither team could consistently get going until midway in the 2nd quarter. Greensville's Blue would blast through from 4-yards out adding doubt to the Broncos chances of getting back into it with 5:40 until the half. Franklin would not be able to answer and then Greensville took a deep shot and it paid off beautifully as Lezhan Pebbles would catch a 54-yard touchdown pass from White with 0:39 left before the half. It would be 26-0 Eagles at the half.
Lezhan Peebles hauls in the big pass and goes in to the endzone.
After a stall opening drive by the Broncos, it would be Greensville's turn to definitely ice the game. Zykeem Fields would do just that taking a punt 48-yards down the visitors side line to make it 32-0 Eagles with 7:48 in the 3rd.
Zykeem Fields was feeling great about tonight as his big return iced the game.
Following a booming punt pinning the Eagles at their own 13 yard line, the Eagles would turn to Blue to get them at the hole. He would do just that! Blue would find a seam and made it a footrace. He would burn the Broncos for an 87-yard run for the score. 38-0 Eagles with 4:24 to play in the 3rd.
Assistant Coach Willie Gillus enjoyed the offensive output by his alma mater Friday.
Greensville would quickly get the ball back again. This time they would let Sykes cash in from 7 yards out to make it 44-0 with 1:21 to play in the 3rd. The Eagles would then play a lot of subs in the 4th where Franklin would finally get on the board with LeSean Nicholas-Porter from 4 yards out. Kemond Rogers would catch the conversion.
Head Coach Mario "Doc" Walton and staff have the Eagles playing great at the end of the regular season.
The Eagles(6-2) will travel to rival Sussex Central (7-1) for a game that will decide the Tri-River district champion. Franklin (2-6) will travel to Windsor (2-6) with a chance to lock up the #6 seed.
