A Sea Of Red

I'm not able to view it at work so somebody help me out with this

Somebody click on watch the eVideo. If it's the same thing that I watched on Friday on ABC, there will be a close up of the Franklin County Eagle's Helmet right before the clips of their game. Can anybody get a screenshot of it? It looks awfully familiar.

I'm a graduate of Franklin County High School,when I was there,the helmet looked similar to the Philadelphia Eagles helmet with the exception Philly was green and ours was red.

Now it looks like a lawsuit from proto.

ah ha! I knew it. Thank you Tally.

We approached them 2 years ago about it. They agreed to stop using it, but LU didn't make them throw anything away. Kevin might want to look into this, becuase i don't think it was on the helmets last year and that would violate their agreement.

FCHS class of 79, myself. We always had the Philly-looking logo.
(And the information has been submitted to the proper authorities over in Hancock.)

Kevin Who?

I live right down the road from Franklin County, (and I hate it) and I've seen a T-shirt, when I was at the YMCA there, that had LU's logo on it but it said Franklin County. I did a double take because it looked exactly like one of our red shirts with the logo. I hate Franklin County! (in more ways than one)

And it wasn't on their helmets last year either.

FCHS class of '81,the year you graduated in '79,we had a very good football team,but the season was ruined over some bad calls against Cave Spring. I am not in the know on the situaton
y'all are talking about. My kids go to Brookville,so that's what I have been following.

Somebody may want to look into Staunton River as well. Suspiciously similar looking eagle. FYI...Rocco's brother is the head coach.

I was on the sideline...we got HOSED BAD in the Cave Spring game. It was the last winning season for something like 20 years, too. To this day...I hate Cave Spring...and by extension...Hidden Valley.

I looked all through their football site and couldn't find an eagle logo anywhere. Got a picture?

The year after you graduated we went 0-10 and on scored in 2 games,my senior year we went 4-6,I still dislike Cave Spring over that game as well as PH for knocking out the killer basketball team with Ivy Cook and Harold Taylor that we had in 78-79,ended up 19-2 and didn't make the playoffs,the rule was changed the next year to allow the regular season champ to make the playoffs.

No pics...just saw their coaches shirts and they had the logo on them. No idea if they are using it on their unis or helmets.

20-2. I was the mascot for the championship game vs PH.

Fumblerooskies ,Send me a pm and tell me who you are,I might remember you.It was and still is a big school.My class and the class of 80 were the last ones the go to the Jr. High,I missed the Middle School by one year.
I moved to Lynchburg in 1984 to work for Ge and then Ericsson.I worked in the North Campus building now from 1984-1998.I am with Tyco Electronics M/A-COM now.

I feel a love connection happening:)

You have no idea what its like going to a HS when you're EVERYONE'S homecoming. We were homecoming for Salem one year the 2nd or 3rd game of the season.

I remember covering a game between Amherst County and Franklin County in my first year as a sports broadcaster for 90.9...it was not a good night to be from FCHS is all I can say

It's FRANKLIN COUNTY, Scorcho...and you know what we're famous for...

I drove through part of Franklin County yesterday.


Just pointing that out.

Best thing out of Franklin County: Ferrum cheerleading

Kind-of looks like Brittney Spears on the far right.

Way to class up the joint SJ!

I remember back in the day (it seems like) Proto came in to speak to our class and this was something they were going through then with Franklin County I cant believe it's still an issue...I guess thats what we get for being nice and not suing the pants off them!
