Outlook: New coach Brian Prahl told us that he anticipates his Wildcats using Cosumnes Oaks High School as their home stadium by mid-season. Outstanding Franklin Wildcats like Drew Morse OL/DL, Josh Simpson OL/DL and Marcus Reynolds will set the course for the 2008 team. There is a lot of outside speed, but there are many new players on the team. "I expect our team to be very competitive in the Delta Valley League. Franklin will be a young team led by a few varsity returners," said Coach Prahl.
