Centennial Stuns Franklin With Two Late Scores in 28-24 Win

FRANKLIN, TN — For 2,807 seconds Friday night, Franklin essentially dominated Centennial.

The Cougars, though, kept it close enough to pull off a shocker in the final 73 seconds.

Trailing 24-14 with 1:13 left in the game, Cougar quarterback Tre Stewart, making his first start, hit senior wideout Austin Waddell for a 66-yard touchdown. Seconds later, Centennial recovered the ensuing onside kick and with just 10 seconds left, Waddell fought his way into the end zone to cap a furious, bizarre comeback and a final drive that saw Stewart connect with Zyon Lee for a 22-yard gain on 2nd-and-19.

Stewart's passing performance wasn't exactly conventional: after missing on nine consecutive attempts, he went 5-for-6 for 144 yards and two touchdowns in the game's last three minutes.

Centennial hosts Independence next Friday. Franklin will travel to Riverdale.
