What's Up With Franklin Football Story?

Channel 58's Adam Rife is like a dog with a bone.  Good for him!!

Franklin Public Schools is now walking back the reason why the district did not allow any fans into Friday night's playoff game against Kenosha Bradford.

At first, Franklin Public Schools blamed an investigation into a Kenosha Bradford player as the reason to keep everyone away.

But one day later their story changed.

In a new statement posted to social media, Franklin Public Schools said, "To offer clarity, there was never a Bradford football player under investigation."...

Franklin had to say that, as Bradford's administration flat-out contradicted their story on Friday night.

So what's actually going on?

 ... on Saturday came the new statement from District Administrator Annalee Bennin, Principal Mike Vuolo, and Athletic Director Cordell Smith that contradicted what they said the day before.

After the three administrators explained there was no investigation into a Kenosha Bradford player, they also wrote: "Misinformation damages the experience for players and for both communities," a day after citing something that was not true.

We emailed the three administrators who issued both statements. They did not respond.

We also called, texted, and emailed the public information officer for Franklin Public Schools, and the public information officers for both Franklin Police and Kenosha Police.

No one responded to our questions and requests for more information.

This should be fun.  Get out the popcorn.
