All the players played very well in their very first game of the season. However, running back Jaqaveon Anderson is credited with scoring the very first points for the 'Dawgs' inaugural game when he ran untouched for 58 yards off tackle to score the very first touchdown for the new TNT Football League Franklin County 'Bulldogs'. Anderson is a 5th grader at Franklin County Elementary. He is the son of Erica Smith Henry Anderson and Kendrick King of Franklin County.
