Franklin ends three-game skid after 3-0 start with last-minute TD, 22-0 victory at Sayreville

No one led by more than a touchdown, and Franklin snapped a three-game losing streak that found them back at .500 after a 3-0 start with a 22-20 road win at Sayreville Friday night.

Troy Hyman scored two touchdowns for the Warriors, including the game-tying touchdown with under a minute to play, before a two-point conversion pass put them ahead for good.

Franklin’s Michael Rogers opened the scoring, catching a 12-yard touchdown pass from Jah’naad Cady, but Shuan Jackson ran one in from four-yards out for Sayreville, which missed the extra point, making it 7-6.

Hyman scored on a one-yard run in the second to put Franklin up 14-6, and then Sayreville roared back after halftime. Devyn McCall made it 14-12 on a ten-yard touchdown run, and Jackson then scored and ran in a two-point try to make it 20-14 Bombers at the end of three.

The fourth quarter was tense. The Warriors got stopped on fourth down early. Later, Cady threw a deep ball that was picked off by Sayreville’s Sherwin Appiah, but he fumbled it as he was tackled, and Franklin recovered inside the ten.

That set up Hyman’s heroics to tie the game at 20 on an eight-yard touchdown run, and Cady hit Alieu Kallon for the two-point conversion to make it 22-20 Franklin.

Sayreville got the ball back, but Franklin stopped them on a fourth-down play to hang on for the win.

Franklin (4-3) will visit Monroe next Friday night, while the Bombers dropped to 2-5 and will visit Montgomery next Friday evening.
