Our Game of the Week takes us up to Carnesville for a matchup between Franklin County and Jefferson.

FRANKLIN COUNTY vs JEFFERSON

Franklin County comes in after a big win over Elbert County that snapped a 5-game losing streak. (**9/3 @ Hart County Final Unknown) That’s more than welcome for the Lady Lions, who have some solid wins including over top-ranked Banks County, and solid teams White County and Commerce. Now, Franklin welcomes in #6-ranked Jefferson, who has been the best version of the Lady Dragons we’ve seen in a long time. The only hiccups for this elite program have been extra-inning losses to North Oconee and Mill Creek. Jenna Rapp and the offense is nearly unstoppable, as they have seven 10+ run outings.
