Tullahoma 6, Franklin County 2

Most of the goals for the contest were scored in the first half as Franklin County wasn’t able to overcome a sizable early deficit.

Franklin County head soccer coach Kent Bean said that his team got off to a poor start in the contest that was difficult to recover from.

“We just didn’t come out hard enough in the first half and just laid down and lost all momentum early,” he said. “We gave up four goals on defensive errors, and I think (Tullahoma) really earned one goal. We scored too late, got a little bit of momentum going, but just couldn’t get anything going (afterward).”

Tullahoma took the lead less than 90 seconds into the game as they scored directly off of a corner kick to make it a 1-0 game.

Franklin County got on the board with 2:58 remaining in the first half as a corner kick from Giovanni Mendez deflected between Perez and Tullahoma’s goalkeeper before finding the feet of Harrison Crenshaw, and Crenshaw tapped the ball into the net from there to make it a 5-1 game. It was the second goal of the season for Crenshaw.

Franklin County scored again about a minute later as Perez rolled a low shot into the net after receiving a pass from Gezer Hernandez to cut the deficit down to 5-2. It was the ninth goal of the season for Perez.

Franklin County trailed 5-2 at halftime.
