If football is a game of inches, than the Franklin County High School varsity football team gained a yard at last Friday’s homecoming. The game against Rocky Bayou Christian Christian was a far cry from last year’s 42-7 shellacking, as the Seahawks executed well all night, keeping it close all night before succumbing to a…
Despite a loss Friday night following a long road trip to face Jay, Seahawks Coach John Cooper saw last week as a good one. That’s because it was marked by an announcement that two Franklin County underclassmen – one a freshman the other an eighth grader – are looking at offers to eventually play football…
The Franklin County Seahawks came into Friday night’s home opener against Vernon with a healthy squad and a retooled offense. As it turned out they were by no means a day late, as the changes helped them tally a lead going into the locker room at halftime. But in the end, they were four points…
It wasn’t a very inspiring evening Friday at Arnold High School, as the Seahawks fell 42-0 in their season opener against the North Bay Haven Academy Buccaneers. “With a 42-0 loss, to the naked eye nothing good happened,” said coach John Cooper. “And I and my coaching staff bear full responsibility. “The kids are still…
The Franklin County Seahawks traveled to Gainesville Friday night to take on the St. Francis Catholic Wolves, and for the entire first half, it looked like they’d be fowl chewed up by a ravenous pack.

Now whether shooting nine holes at St. James…

From there he…
Two Lady Seahawk cross country runners took part in Saturday’s Sizzler 5K on St. George Island as they prepare for a season that has them on track for challenging school records. Freshman Addyson Paul, 13, ended up in 13th place, with a time of 24:04.5, about 15 seconds faster than eighth grader Isabella Polous, 13,…
Rain and cooler weather is usually not desirable on summer vacation spots like St. George Island, but it ushered in perfect weather for the annual St. George Island Sizzler 5K & One Mile Fun Run Saturday afternoon. A “Chill Room” trailer set up and manned by the first responders from the island’s volunteer fire department…
It took a lot of hard work, and a will to win, but earlier this month, Franklin County’s 8-and-under AA boys All-Star team became only the second boys ballclub in that age group from the county to win the Dixie Youth Baseball state title.
