Football: Franklin Tech suffers first loss of season with 20-6 defeat to Ware

After a 6-0 start to the season, the Franklin Tech football team suffered its first loss on Friday, putting the Intercounty League North title race up for grabs in the process. Taking on Ware in a road game, the Eagles scored the opening touchdown of the game in the first quarter but Ware did not allow Tech to reach the end zone a second time. Ware tied the game before the quarter came to a close and punched in a touchdown in the second to take a 13-6 lead at the half.

Ware (5-2, 3-1) tacked on a touchdown in the fourth quarter to walk away with a 20-6 victory. Josiah Little scored the lone touchdown of the game for the Eagles, which dropped to 6-1 overall, 3-1 in the league. Ware and Athol are also 3-1 in the IL North, and the trio would share league title honors if they all win next week.
