Franklinton scored on their opening possession but were forced to restrain G.W. Carver in a 17-12 victory in the Washington Parish Jamboree on Friday night at Demon Stadium.

“I was pleased with the effort but obviously, we have to get better at some things because they tested us with their athleticism,” Franklinton coach Shane Smith said. “We got to get healthy and offensively, we have to eliminate the turnovers.”

The Rams outgained Franklinton 170-137 in total yardage with 146 of it coming through the air and ran 27 plays to the Demons’ 22.

Ron Robinson rushed for 24 yards and two touchdowns on four attempts for Franklinton and Renaz Wilson added 48 yards on five attempts. Austin Armand completed 5-for-11 passes for 44 yards and Donovan Alonzo had three receptions for 20 yards.

Calvin Johnson completed 10-of-17 passes for 146 yards and two touchdown for Carver. Alabama commit Raheem Falkins caught two passes, both for touchdowns, for 63 yards and Nigel Neal had five catches for 72 yards. Ole Miss commit Eugene Brazley was held to 4 yards on four attempts.

Robinson capped the Demons’ opening 9-play, 79-yard drive with a 3-yard run. James Magee’s 13-yard run opened the series before Armand’s 9-yard completions to Kendrick Brumfield and Alonzo. Alex Herbert’s extra point kick put Franklinton ahead 7-0 with 8:28 left in the first half.

Falkins caught a 57-yard touchdown on the ensuing possession after Kyle Underwood and Charmarl Magee’s tackles for loss. Pierre Wilson hit Neal on the conversion to preserve the lead with 4:59 left in the half.

Brumfield recovered a muffed punt two possessions later but the Demons fumbled on the next play. Sebastion Polk intercepted Armand on Franklinton’s next series.

Robinson’s 7-yard run capped the Demons’ opening series of the second half after Jonathan Crain and Christian Thomas’ tackles for loss.

Herbert’s 23-yard field goal reflected the tally after Falkins’ 6-yard touchdown with 28 seconds left.
