Westwood Middle School football stayed unbeaten Thursday night with a 22-12 win over North Franklin at home, live on Thunder Radio.
Brentley Brown opened the scoring with a touchdown run before hauling in the two-point conversion from Brodie Elijah. Berott Clem later added another touchdown run, helping Westwood build a 14-0 lead.
North Franklin battled back in the second half, scoring twice and playing a great game that deserved plenty of respect.
Westwood answered with a touchdown run from Austin Gilday, who later connected with Walker Lovelace for the two-point conversion to help seal the 22-12 victory.
The Rocket defense was strong again, holding North Franklin to just 38 yards of total offense.
Westwood will be back in action Thursday at Cascade, with kickoff set for 6:30 p.m.
