Franklin hammered Soddy Daisy, 7-1, to sweep into the finals of the TSSAA Class AAA Girls State Soccer Tournament last night in Chattanooga.

Franklin's impressive win, the only blowout of the tournament, sets up a battle of unbeatens as it faces Farragut that made the finals by knocking off two-time defending champion Houston, 3-2, in a shootout.

The Rebel girls are a perfect 23-0 for the year; Farragut 22-0-2.

The finals will be Saturday at 12:30 at GPS.

Also in the state soccer tournament, BGA opens play in the Division II Class AA competition against once beaten St. Agnes with the winner advancing to Saturday's 5:30 finals of the four-team bracket.

Franklin quickly got out on Soddy-Daisy as Chesney White netted her first of two goals after 4:50 of play on an assist from Lyndie Donegan. Donegan pushed the lead to 2-0 with her first of two goals unassisted at 30:51, effectively sealing the win.

Donegan's second unassisted goal at 38:05 set the halftime score at 3-0 for Franklin.

Franklin added scores in the second half by Lisa Harbin on assist by Morgan Key-Adams, White (assist Mackenzie Moore), Liza Harbin (Josie Deere) and Deere (Ally Coady).

Soddy-Daisy scored its lone goal, down 6-0, at 76:28 with Summer Lanter netting the ball on an assist by Hannah Wyatt.
