Hot day at old Ackerman Field Saturday, especially for Franklin.
The Warriors blasted Bridgewater-Raritan 50-3. Franklin looked great. They weren't penalized in the second half, and didn't have a turnover.
I'm pretty bad at going overboard on early games, but Franklin has some players to keep it up. The Warriors have a solid offensive and defensive line, speedy linebackers, Gavin Roberts anchoring the defensive backfield. Roberts also made a terrific catch off a lob from junior quarterback Jon Patrick in the first half and tipped away a pass that B-R quarterback Alonzo Miller threw to a wide open Rob Pennella.
Franklin plays at Phillipsburg Friday night. The Stateliners haven't lost a Skyland Conference game since 2002 and has won four straight Skyland East titles.
Plainfield -- despite the penalties it incurred -- kept it close against Elizabeth Saturday, losing 20-13. Oreal Douglas scored twice on short runs and kicked the extra point. Plainfield plays at Irvington Saturday. Irvington beat Union in a wild game Saturday afternoon.
