How Franklin Central Can Beat Fishers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Franklin Central will take on Fishers on Friday as both teams are 4-2 and are looking for a fifth win. Fishers has won the past two games in the series, last season by a 9-point margin and the previous year by eight points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Franklin Central, though, has a very talented team, and we caught up with the Flashes at practice this week. Along with several top superstars such as [player_tooltip player_id='1551356' first='Jayce' last='Brewer'], [player_tooltip player_id='1870181' first='Markell' last='Bailey'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1866013' first='DJ' last='Mitchell'], the Flashes have a number of players who are taking in key roles this season. Here are some under-the-radar prospects who could shine tonight.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":1925975,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Drelan Vaden","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"160","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Franklin Central","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68dfcabe85e7d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I was very impressed with Drelan Vaden, who just recently joined the team. The senior prospect has solid speed and a wide catch radius. He caught everything thrown to him at practice, including a couple of thrilling catches in the back of the end zone. He will be a name to watch on Friday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1922230"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68dfcabe85ee1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1922230' first='Nathan' last='Sparks'] leads the Flashes in rushing, averaging 77.3 yards per game.
