He also had a 21-yard romp on the 84-yard march and Bittner had catches for 32 and 23 yards. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Cogswell then came up big defensively on East's next series, stuffing Melquwan Carson for no gain on a fourth-and-1 from the East 29. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>A 13-yard pass from Wested to Bittner and a 13-yard run by Cogswell preceded Franklin's final touchdown, a 3-yard pass from Wested to Bittner. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Warriors' final score came against Franklin's reserves in the closing seconds of the game when Allen fired a 16-yard pass to Michael Mathis. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>"Ever since I've been here, Franklin's always been a tough and gritty team and they showed that again (tonight)," said Troop, now in his fourth season at  East. "They seem to always have a great passing game and they mix in enough running plays to keep you really off-balance defensively." </B></div> <div> <B>Franklin's offensive balance was evident by the final statistics as the Knights rushed for 193 yards and threw for 252. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>"We needed a win and the kids came up here with the right midset," Smith said. "I thought Cogswell really stepped up and played a great game.

"We've got a tough game against Center on Friday in our last home game.
