Understood, the discussion that you cited in your quote when you mentioned Jasper was regarding 3As. 

No it was regarding setx teams

I was told Franklin was the team that wouldn’t reschedule.

I was told its the other way around. We tried to schedule gunter this year so It can't be travel or competition.

I kinda feel like the whole scheduling argument is mute… can it possibly help prepare you for facing more difficult teams in district and the playoffs? It couldn’t hurt… but at the end of the day if you got the team to win then you got the team to win… Not one team Bellville played in non district made the playoffs last year for the record. Franklin isn’t winning state championships or having success due to scheduling…. It’s because they just have the talent and coaching and are just good lol 

While I agree with part of the statement. Iron sharpens Iron and I would much rather play a tough team and face adversity a couple times in the season before waiting till the playoffs to do so. Mart plays a tough non district year after year and make deep runs year after year. Look at the top teams and you will see a tough non district 90% of the time.

A lot of factors go into scheduling but as indicated by the previous schedule, they are “not afraid to schedule Franklin”. I suspect logistics is the greatest factor. 

No one said anything about anyone being scared. Sometimes its like you try to create an argument. Are you saying travel is the biggest reason? If you wanna be the best you have to play the best period. I'm willing to bet that when our schedule comes out we play top teams and we will have to travel for one or two games a good ways away. Funny you say no one is afraid to play Franklin but we still can't find a team to play us week 2.

Jasper is not a “3A”

i didn't say Jasper is a 3a school I said we had 3 as in 3 setx schools.

I seen a 3rd round 6a playoff team last season in person that we would have blown out

Not all 6As…. But probably so if they are at least average… maybe not “blow out”

Thats awesome. This is why Franklin wins so much and wins State. The SETX 3A's want to play Bmt. Kelly and teams like that.  

Can't wait to see our full schedule

I feel relatively certain that Franklin had two SETX 3As on the schedule for the last two years. How many of them should play Franklin each year?

We had 3 Jasper, Woodville, Diboll

They wouldn't reschedule us for the next two years

Gunter, Silsbee, Cuero, Canadian, Bryan.... Bryan only because people think all 6a schools would blow out 3a and below teams

You only play 10 non district teams and you lost to Bellville in bi district. Somehow I missed a game. My mistake, i thought i was referring to WOS.

We didn't lose to bellville we went to state for the 4th year in a row. The team they were speaking of was Shepherd.

5/6.  3/3

Well if that doesn’t change they may be in trouble vs Bellville

They will get blown out

Hitchcock was ranked in the top 5 weren’t they? 

That is why I said according to the media. A lot in the region picked LRA because you can have the best players at the skill postion in the state but if you don't have good line play it won't matter. Hitchcock struggles with line play on both sides of the ball

The Hitchcock QB is committed to Texas Tech… they also have a WR with several D1 offers I believe. They did get upset by Little River Academy in Bi district last season. 

It was an upset according to the media

Well we lost Gunter for week 4 due to no venue wanting to host Franklin vs Gunter.

Yes he is one of my students. He is really talented at photography

So far Franklin has dropped Jasper, Woodville, Mexia, and Diboll from last years non district. They have added Lorena, China Spring, and Gunter so far

Kudos to The Franklin Lady Lions basketball team. I am just wondering @lionpride08 are there any flaws in the well oiled program called The Franklin Lions Athletic Department.

Congratulations 🎊🎊🎉🎉 @lionpride08 to the city of Franklin for representing small towns like my Alma mater Coldspring!! We Trojans are rooting for your basketball team in their playoff runs!!! Go Lions

Our program is usually pretty good all around. Our softball is ranked #6 to start the season. Beat some 6a schools last season including a team that was ranked #20 in 6a at the time.

It’s like they reload! When I coached Little Dribblers back in the day and we went to Nationals, they always had awesome teams! They have a great program there - little league thru high school!

They are still the #1 team for a reason. They dont beat themselves. They are not as good as the last couple years but will go deep again

Fairfield 72 Franklin 52 final... just couldnt get out of their own way.

Fairfield 52 Franklin 47 end of 3rd

Fairfield 31 Franklin 35 halftime

End of 1st...

Fairfield 15 Franklin 14

Winner of this game will be either out right champion (Fairfield) or tie for a district championship. Fairfield won the first meeting by 17 points after a slow start by Franklin.
