WESSON – Led by two goals each from Kane Gillian and Kemo Veridin, the FC Soccer Dawgs beat a solid Wesson team 4-0 Friday night.

In the girls’ game, FC completed the sweep of Wesson with a 1-0 victory.

The Franklin High boys’, under the direction of Jeff Long, jumped out to a 1-0 lead off an assist from Kyle McCormick to Verdin.

Verdin added two assists to Gillian, who connected on goals to give FCHS a comfy 3-0 lead on a chilly night.

Thomas Slagle found Verdin for the Bulldogs final goal of the night.
