Boys Basketball = North Attleboro, 51 @ Franklin, 72 – Final

"High pressure defense has been a staple for Franklin over the past two years and if Tuesday night is any indication, you can expect more of the same this year. 

The Panthers used a full court press and a handful of traps to force 21 turnovers and come away with a 72-51 win over North Attleboro in both teams’ season opener. 

“I thought defensively we did a pretty good job,” Franklin head coach CJ Neely said. “I thought we were taking too many chances a little bit. Even though we were pressing and we wanted to create a crazy environment, I think one of the reasons [North Attleboro] had a high scoring percentage is because we were taking a lot of chances. Once we got it down, we were able to turn them over and get some stops.”
