Panthers vs the Mustangs, things get serious here. Two talented teams with the Mnt vs Piedmont cliche in play. Thoughts on this one….
East Lincoln @ Franklin 3rd round….
- Thread starter BiltmoreCANE
- Start date
All I'll say is Matt Beam brought his Burns team into Franklin in 2011 and beat an undefeated Franklin team 28-14. It wouldn't surprise me if he did it again as the OC and his son at QB.
As much as I love Franklin this wouldn’t surprise me at all. I don’t know a lot about East, but it seems like they can sling the rock. We don’t do a great job of defending the pass either. Our RB #36 is dealing with a high ankle sprain & looked to be about 80% last night. Looking forward to learning about EL.
They got one of the top recruits in the nation at TE. He will probably be a matchup problem for Franklin.
I’m not 100% sure but this may be the game I end up at. I hope the Panthers can pull it out. They’ve definitely not seen a passing attack like they’ll run into next Friday or a receiving threat in the mold of Dollar. Unique challenge for sure. The more pressure on the QB the better.
East Lincoln football coach David Lubowicz was optimistic regarding his prognosis for the team's Round 3 matchup at Franklin, though admitting he'll learn more in the coming days.
"I think he'll be fine. The doctor looked at him right before halftime (and the news was positive)," Lubowicz said, "We were a series from taking him out anyhow. We have a week and we'll see how things develop; but I'll tell you this, Dollar is strong and tough."
