With the game tied at seven coming out of halftime, Nykier Eato made sure Edison was going to come out of Friday night’s road game at Franklin with a win.
Eato scored two touchdowns in the third quarter to put the Eagles up two scores, and quarterback Anthony Calantoni added a 12-yard run to make it 27-7.
That gave Edison enough insurance to pick up the win after Franklin answered with one more score. But they would get no closer, as the Eagles picked up the 27-13 victory.
Edison improves to 2-3, and snapped a three-game losing streak with the win. The 27 points was its best offensive output since a 27-0 home win over East Brunswick in its opener.
Franklin has lost two straight and drops to 3-2 ahead of a home game with Plainfield next Friday night.
The Eagles will face Colonia (4-1) at home next Friday night in the “Big Central Game of the Week” presented by Bellamy & Son Paving. The Patriots beat Perth Amboy 27-20 Friday night.
