Here are the top three stories today in Franklin:

1. Centennial High School graduate Grace Good recently appeared on America's Got Talent, receiving a 'yes' from all four judges. Good graduated from Centennial in 2011 and went on to receive her associate's degree at MTSU. Her hula hooping skills grew while she performed at bars in downtown Nashville, and she now hopes her performances on Americas Got Talent will eventually lead to a circus residency in Las Vegas.

2. Three Franklin teenagers were reportedly killed in a car crash that took place Sunday morning in Nashville. 18-year-old Jeffrie Prendergast, 18-year-old Jonathan Jesus Bravo, and 19-year-old Jordan Posantes were all killed in the single-vehicle crash near the intersection of Sidco Drive and Powell Avenue after the car fled "at a high rate of speed" when police attempted to stop the vehicle due to a belief that it was part of a group of street racers.

3. Did you get the chance to check out Main Street's beautiful blooms this weekend? In case you missed it, the Downtown Franklin Association and Heritage Foundation of Williamson County partnered with local business Container Creations 615 to produce flowery displays downtown. You can vote on your favorite display here through Friday, Jun. 30. (Downtown Franklin via Facebook)
