Local Sports FRANKLIN - For the better part of three quarters Thursday, the King Philip Regional High School football team led a charmed life.
The Warriors were leading the undefeated Franklin Panthers 13-6 entering the final 10 minutes, and had dodged quite a few bullets along the way - a lost fumble by Franklin at the Warriors' 32 in the second quarter, a fumbled kickoff that required a stout defensive stop at their own 27, and an interception in the end zone as time expired in the half after one of their punts had been blocked at the Franklin 22. "We hung on and we figured the breaks would go our way in the second half," King Philip coach Brian Lee said. "But those two turnovers just killed us." Featured Blog
