Xavier Henderson reacts as he approaches the goal line in the September 2 game against Montgomery High School.
An onslaught of 21 unanswered points was too much for the Franklin High School Warrior football team to overcome September 2 in their 28-14 home opener loss to Montgomery.
Montgomery struck first, with a five-yard pass reception on their first possession.
Franklin struck back, scoring off a Xavier Henderson 36-yard run.
The Warriors took a 14-7 lead in the second quarter, on a 17-yard run by Quasim Ashford.
But that would be the last time a Warrior crossed the goal line.
Montgomery scored again in the second quarter, and the teams went into the locker rooms tied at 14.
