Two missed extra points and an incomplete hail-Mary pass as time ran out led to defeat for the Franklin High School Warrior football team in their home opener Sept. 25.
The Warriors, 1-2, lost a heartbreaker to the Minutemen of Elizabeth High School, 14-12.
For the most part, Franklin’s defense dominated Elizabeth, which is now 3-0 with the win.
But the missed extra points in the second quarter, plus several turnovers on downs deep in Minuteman territory were too much for the Warriors to overcome.
The Warriors travel Oct. 2 to Phillipsburg.
