Coach’s comments: “The goal is to go out on top of Conference Indiana. Being the third year with our coaching staff, finally feel like the culture has changed. All the kids are locked in, we’ve been practicing at a high tempo, high energy every single day. You can just tell there is something different in the air this year. The kids are leading themselves. 

“We’re really expecting something great to happen; looking to have a great season in the conference and out of conference and make a run in sectionals. The community support here is fantastic. Anybody within Franklin Township will tell you the football program is back. Everybody is taking pride in it. We’re looking forward to getting some W’s on Friday nights for the school, kids and community. Our kids are having fun and are really primed for this season.”
