Franklin blanks Collierville

The Franklin soccer team seems to be putting it together at the right time.

The fourth-ranked Lady Rebels dominated possession and got goals from three different players in a 3-0 victory over Collierville on Wednesday, advancing to face third-ranked Oak Ridge today.

"I think we played excellent," Franklin coach Jimmy Burchett said. "We're really at the top of our game now and are peaking at the right time. We've been playing 80-minute games over the past few weeks and not having lulls like we had during the season; every position was playing hard and there were no holes on defense. The defenders organized well and Taylor Mangrum came up huge.

"I think we're confident in what we're doing and it shows on the field."

Hannah Rothrock put the Lady Rebels (17-3) up 1-0 with a goal nine minutes in. Caroline Hiskey added a goal on a free kick in the second half, then Morgan Key drove the left sideline and found a cutting Chesney White for the final score of the evening.

Collierville ends its' season 11-5-3.
