FHS boys lacrosse, baseball, softball, boys tennis, girls tennis post wins on Monday

Josh Perry, Managing Editor Hockomock Sports writes:
"The FOGO (“face-off, get-off”) position can sometimes be overlooked, as the players may only be on the field for a few minutes and many times are on the bench or heading back to the box when the ball finds the back of the net.
