The Franklin Tech football team’s unbeaten season carries on. 

Facing Palmer on the road Friday, the Eagles found themselves leading 14-0 at the half. 

The Panthers didn’t go away easy, however, scoring 22 points in the second half. That wasn’t enough to get the job done though, as Franklin Tech escaped with a 24-22 victory at Legion Field. 

Josiah Little continued his dominant season by finding the end zone twice and adding a two-point conversion for the Eagles. Ethan Smarr hauled in a touchdown and two two-point conversions to help seal the win for Franklin Tech. 

The Eagles (5-0) hope to keep the win streak going when it hosts Greenfield on Friday. 

Hoosac 47, Frontier 0 

The defending Intercounty League South champs looked the part on Friday, knocking off the Redhawks in South Deerfield. 

Hoosac scored three touchdowns in the first quarter to take a 21-0 lead. The Hurricanes added a touchdown to lead 27-0 at the intermission.
