I guess the refs had nothing to do with this loss.

Thanks alot for the sarcasm Linda. It really means a lot coming from you. Keep your head up Franklin County and look ahead to next week just like Natchez is doing. As for Natchez, lets focus on Oak Grove and try to bring this one home.

Linda if you haven't noticed by now , the trash talking only occurs when teams from this area play each other . It's like an individual from JC said last year . It's nothing but bragging rights among teams in the sw region . We have nothing against JC,FC and hope that your teams continue to do a great job in the 3a district .
