FHS drop two tough playoff games

#1 - From Hockomock Sports we share the write up on the FHS boys basketball game against St John's:
Franklin came out flying in the first half, but it was the polar opposite for the Panthers in the fourth quarter. 
Franklin’s offense went cold down the stretch and St. John’s walked away with a 61-56 win in the D2 Central Semifinals. 
The Panthers led by as much as six with just over five minutes to play, but the Pioneers closed the contest on a 13-2 run as Franklin couldn’t get anything to go offensively.

.....

Franklin finishes the season 18-6 with its only losses coming to teams that are either in sectional finals or semifinals.

#2 - Also from Hockomock Sports we share the write up on the FHS hockey loss in the first game against Malden Catholic

The Panthers proved that they belonged in the Super 8 with a dramatic overtime win against Xaverian that set up a best-of-three series with the four-time defending champion Malden Catholic. 
On Tuesday night at the Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell, Franklin took the lead against the Lancers and had the chances to pull an upset, but eventually succumbed 2-1. 
“We came in here, no one gave us a chance coming in, and we laid it on the line and we almost made it happen,” said senior goalie Ryan Shea who put in another impressive performance with 39 saves. 
Shea added, “We’re definitely here and we’re ready to play every game. They’re a great team but we can definitely play with them.”

.....

Franklin and Malden Catholic will face-off again on Wednesday night at the Tsongas Center at 8 p.m.
