Archrivals Franklin and Brentwood meet for the second time in two weeks tonight in the second round of the TSSAA Class 6A football playoffs.

Franklin won the last meeting in the traditional regular season finale, 24-10, to end the season 7-3 and claim a No. 3 seed in the playoffs, including a home game in the first round. The loss dropped Brentwood to 6-4 and forced it to face district champion Independence in the playoffs opener.

But, the Bruins rose to the challenge and eliminated the district champs with a superb defensive performance, scoring its TD on a blocked punt, 10-7, to advance to tonight's game.

Franklin also avenged a regular season loss, a double-OT decision to Smyrna, taking it an extra measure by beating the Bulldogs in a second double-overtime game, 29-26.

The winner of tonight's game likely faces a daunting task next week against undefeated, No. 1 seed Mt. Juliet, a favorite but by no means a lock tonight against a dangerous Siegel team.

In other games involving Williamson County teams tonight Centennial and Fairview are at home while Page and Bretnwood Academy are on the road.
