Franklin notes

Ackerman Field is ready to go, according to Franklin head coach Lou Solomon.

Solomon said the field -- which is behind the old Franklin High School, now middle school -- looks great. The field has been re-seeded and watered and the Warriors have stayed off it.

Juniors Jonathan Patrick and Trevor Jackson are contending for the starting job. Patrick is the leader at this point. I like Franklin's offensive line. Center Ryan Beicher, guard Young Ho Chang and tackle Enrique Rios are seniors and have plenty of varsity experience.

Franklin, which had a controlled scrimmage with Voorhees Saturday morning, game scrimmages at Lawrence next Friday. The Warriors won't use the field until their home field until the season-opener with Bridgewater-Raritan two weeks from today.

North Hunterdon scrimmaged Delaware Valley this morning at North. Delaware Valley might be a team that surprises some folks this year. Just a early hunch. That said, the Terriers will have to find a replacement for Rich Gebert, the very productive back that has decided to focus on wrestling.
