Hosting Mahar, the Eagles took a 28-8 lead at the half and didn’t look back, rolling to a 48-14 victory in Turners Falls. 

Franklin Tech (7-1, 4-1) can win the league title outright if Palmer beats Ware on Saturday, following Athol’s loss to Greenfield on Friday.

Wyatt Whitman ran in a pair of long touchdowns in the first half while Josiah Little also found the end zone on the ground for the Eagles. Tyler Yetter hit Hunter Donoghue on a screen and the sophomore took it 40 yards in for the score, helping Franklin Tech build its 28-8 lead at the half. 

Tyler Yetter ran in a pair of touchdowns before Josiah Little closed out the scoring for the Eagles. 

Mahar quarterback Morgan Softic took it himself for a 10-yard score in the second quarter before adding a second rushing touchdown in the second half for the Sens (2-6, 0-5). 

Lee 45, Frontier 0
