Not only will those games toughen up Franklin, they also could help Bobadilla’s recruitment. The senior quarterback is guaranteed to start three games against high-level defenses in 2019.

Bobadilla was 16-of-26 for 331 yards and 4 touchdowns through the air in Franklin's 48-21 upset of Fairfax on Sept. 21. He also ran for 3 TDs.

Franklin coach Narciso Diaz is already thinking what football is going to be like without quarterback Alfred Bobadilla, who has been making life very good for the Panthers since his freshman year.
