The Franklin Daily News team
If you followed Nolensville this fall, Friday night stung. The Knights lost 28-27 at Kirkwood in the Class 5A second round, and The Tennessean's second-round scoreboard notes every Division I winner reaches the state quarterfinals.
Quarterback Miles Reding rushed for three scores and threw for another. After Matthew Serpas' 20-yard field goal made it 27-20 with 3:34 left, Reding scored from 14 yards out, then fired to Tomarco Vereen on a trick play called "Spider Man" for the two-point conversion.
