Fannie Ruth Wilson’s Obituary
Franklinton wrapped up spring football with a Purple and White intersquad game at Demon Stadium on Friday evening.
The Purple Demons defeated the White team 13-9 in a game with four quarters and a halftime.
“We got a lot to work on but I think we are making progress,” Franklinton coach Shane Smith said. “I saw a lot of positive things. We didn’t have any major turnovers. Sometimes when you get into a scrimmage, the execution may be missing but I thought, everything was pretty clean.
“We obviously had some blown assignments but I think for 10 days, these guys came out here and showed that they have worked hard and are improving day in and day out.”
Alex Herbert kicked three field goals in the game, two for over 40 yards. Austin Armand and Azenda Magee each scored one touchdown. The White team featured mainly offensive starters with the Purple team defensive starters.
“Credit goes to our defense,” Smith said. “The thing that I was a little disappointed in was that we didn’t have that big play. That is what we are missing right now.”
The White team drove to the Purple 1 on the opening possession but was stopped short on fourth down.
Quinton Cooper sacked Armand on the White’s next series after a three-and-out and Herbert’s 22-yard field goal capped an 8-play ensuing drive that featured a 55-yard run by Magee to put the Purple ahead 3-0 with 6:54 left in the half.
Renaz Wilson opened the next possession with a 40-yard run into the red zone but the drive quickly stalled.
Magee cut back right across the field and jetted 82 yards for a touchdown on the second play of the ensuing possession to make it 10-0.
Armand connected with Reshon Warren from 42 yards on a deep ball with one second remaining in the half to set up Herbert’s 43-yard field goal cutting the deficit to 10-3.
The White used a 14-play drive to open the second half but came up empty. Armand connected with Daryl Fortenberry for a 14-yard completion across midfield before the possession stalled at the Purple 18.
Justin Alford sacked Chandler Davis to open the ensuing series and Rhett Tynes punted after a 10-yard scramble by Kevin Simmons.
Armand’s 4-yard keeper capped the White’s next 6-play drive. Fortenberry’s 11-yard run opened the series before Armand’s 14-yard run set up the score. Herbert was wide right on the point after touchdown attempt leaving the score 10-9.
Enrique Garrett sacked Armand on the White’s next possession after Kendrick Brumfield hit Wilson for a loss. Garrett strip sacked Armand, who recovered the fumble, but Brumfield wrapped him up for a loss as time expired.
The Demons will participate in 7 on 7 at the New Orleans Saints facility on June 23.

Roselyn Jones Casanova’s Obituary
Franklinton has begun spring football and will hold a Purple and Gold game on Friday at Demon Stadium.
The Demons practiced four times last week and will practice throughout this week leading up to the game. LHSAA high school football teams are allotted 10 practices beginning May 7.
“Our kids’ attitudes are very good and the intensity is great,” Franklinton coach Shane Smith said. “The progress that the kids have made in the offseason has been tremendous and it is showing on the field. Most of these guys are returning with a lot of experience, so we are definitely a lot further ahead of the game than we were last year .”
“When you had three weeks, you could spread your days out and allowed you to keep your players more fresh by maybe giving them a day off but everybody has got the same rules so we are just making the most out of it.”
The Demons are coming off a 5-6 season a year ago and claimed a share of the District 7-4A title with a 3-1 record one season after winning the Class 4A state championship.
“We lacked a lot of experience and it took a lot of time to find out, who we needed to move where,” Smith said. “We made a lot of changes and it was just a continuous grind to try and find that right mix and style of play.”
Austin Armand returns at quarterback for the Demons after earning second-team honors a year ago.
“He understands the entire offense and is a leader out there right now.” Smith said. “I think the biggest things is his consistency, knowledge, experience and leadership.”
Ron Robinson, James Magee and Renaz Wilson are battling it out at running back and Donovan Alonzo and Daryl Fortenberry return at receiver with the addition of Kevin Simmons.
“They are battling and fighting to see who gets the bulk of the carries and who will play slot receiver,” Smith said. “It has been fun watching them because they are getting after it.”
The offensive line includes Brandon McMasters, Linton Brumfield, Nick Mizell, Devin Lewis and Adrian Magee.
Franklinton returns most of its starters in the secondary in Charmarl Magee, Pierre Wilson and Kendrick Brumfield and also has experience in the linebacking corps with Enrique Garret, Christian Thomas, Jamiereo Wilson and Re’lek Wilson.
Quinton Cooper, Shunti Conerly and Jonathan Crain all return to the defensive line with experience.
“We didn’t even now where these kids needed to be last year even though we had worked them at certain positions the year prior,” Smith said. “Our needs were different as a team and that is what made that learning curve so steep. I think all of those things will pay dividends this year. They know what to do and you can see it in their eyes that they are playing with a lot more confidence.”

Grinding|Franklinton hosts Purple and Gold game Friday
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Brian Wilson has no regrets about how many times he pitched during the San Francisco Giants’ improbable 2010 World Series title run. Nor about how he handled his rehabilitation program this winter, and certainly not how he stayed on the mound at Colorado last week despite ligament damage in his arm.
“Absolutely not,” Wilson, a former LSU standout, said. “That’s how I play baseball. Push it to the limits.”
Wilson has now reached his limit.
San Francisco’s bearded and boisterous closer said before Sunday’s series finale against the Pittsburgh Pirates that he will probably have elbow-reconstruction surgery, ending his season after only 56 pitches, two appearances and one save. He was officially placed on the 15-day disabled list.
