Franklin High’s football team just made a statement in El Paso’s season opener! Senior Ernie Powers ran in five touchdowns—yes, five—showcasing some jaw-dropping plays, including a 94-yard sprint. The Cougars, now under new head coach Ruben Torres, led 27-0 by halftime and cruised to a 41-8 win over Chapin, even after a 90-minute lightning delay. This marks their second straight opening win against the Huskies. For local fans, it’s clear: Franklin is setting the bar high this season. How do you think this momentum will carry them through the year? #Sports #Football #ElPaso
