Malachi Williams scored on a three yard run with 8.9 seconds left in the game to give Central an 18-16 come-from-behind victory over Franklin County in a much anticipated matchup between two of the best teams in 4A football.  Franklin County led 16-6 after three quarters but Central kept pounding the ball on the ground with 6-2 220 pound RB/LB Malach Williams carrying the load.  Central recorded 304 yards of total offense and lost two fumbles and had one pass intercepted.  Franklin County recorded 296 yards of total offense but QB Nick Broyles was slowed by an ankle injury.

Malachi Williams led Central’s ground game with 192 yards and two touchdowns on 40 carries.  Justin Bush carried the ball 10 times for 36 yards and Vernon Duncan recorded 25 yards and a touchdown on six carries.  Vernon Duncan completed three of seven passes for 51 yards with one interception.  Jaylen Thomas caught two passes for 42 yards.  Jaylen Thomas led the defense with six solo and two assisted tackles.  Malachi Williams added three solo and three assisted tackles.  D Jure Johnson recorded four solo and one assisted tackles. 

Kaden Moorman led Franklin County’s ground attack with 116 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries.  Nick Broyles completed 15 of 24 passes for 155 yatrds.  Fred Farrier caught five passes for 56 yards.  Kaden Moorman added three receptions for 51 yards.  Peyton Ledford led the defense with eight solo and nine assisted tackles.  Brenton Sears added one solo and 14 assisted tackles.  Jayden Mattison recorded three solo and 11 assisted tackles.  Zach Claudio and Fred Farrier each recovered a fumble and Braedyn Tracy intercepted a pass.
