• Sussex Hamilton makes case to be called best offense in the state (jsonline.com) — Franklin football gets a key shoutout here, as Racine Case followed its historic Week 1 win over former conference rival Franklin with a rough defensive outing against explosive Sussex Hamilton. The Chargers piled up 52 points behind quarterback Cole Erdmann and a deep group of skill players, while Case's coach vowed to regroup quickly after special teams miscues and big plays doomed his squad.
