If taking a poll of 12 local sports journalists last week on who would win the Franklin at Mercyhurst Prep football game last week, 12 would have picked the then 4-0 Lakers to defeat the then 0-4 Knights. And 12 of the journalists would've been right. The devilish score ended 66-6. Prep is a very good football team.They have amassed a total of 286 points averaging 57 points per game while giving up only 33 points or just over six points per game. Franklin didn't give up the most points to the Lakers this season but a close second behind Northwestern's 72 points a week prior. And the Lakers dominated the at times befuddled Knight's offense who struggled early on with substitutions. |
Seneca had a very good football team a year ago but has struggled this season getting shutout last week against Titusville. They are giving up nearly 40 points game.
