The Dogs broke through with a dominant win over Franklin last season. Will they do it again in "The Pit" this season? I'll take Murphy, 45-7.
No doubt Murphy would've scored 40+ last year if they kept the starters in.The last time Murphy scored 40 plus points on Franklin was back in 1988.
I don't think Franklin is as down as the Asheville score would indicate. They are young, and it was the first varsity game for most of the kids. Hell, no team in the area played an outstanding game last week, it was the first game. Murphy should roll, but Franklin has been a historically tough matchup for Murphy. It's like Murphy playing at Swain, or Mitchell playing at Avery. You throw the records out the window.No doubt Murphy would've scored 40+ last year if they kept the starters in.
But yeah, no way I see 40+ this Friday. There's still a lot of work and improvement that must take place offensively.
