"Franklin senior Kayla Marshall helped guide the Panthers to their second straight Kelley-Rex division title in 2016. In her third year starting for the Panthers, Marshall was very effective from her role in the middle of the field. She also chipped in offensively with a pair of goals and one assist for three points.”A three year starter and senior captain, Kayla provided the type of leadership both on and of the field that we needed this season from her center midfield position by distributing the ball effectively to our offense and cutting off opposing players before they could counter attack,” Franklin head coach Lisa Cropper said."

"Franklin sophomore Cassi Ronan paced the Panthers to another Kelley-Rex division title this season. Playing both in the midfield and at forward, Ronan did a lot of the dirty work that didn’t show up in the box score. Ronan finished with 10 goals and seven assists. “She didn’t always get on the stat sheet, but was quite often the player creating offensive opportunities the rest of our team. Cassi was our ‘QB’ on offensive corners, often a key part of defensive corners, and constantly kept opponents off balance with her tricky stick work, speed, and passing,” Franklin head coach Lisa Cropper said."
Annie Walsh – Franklin – Forward

On the season, Walsh had 14 goals and 11 assists for a league-best 25 points. “Just a sophomore, she is learning to combine with her teammates more effectively every year which is helping to improve the whole team’s offensive output,” Franklin head coach Lisa Cropper said."

"Franklin junior Kate Morse made life difficult for opposing offenses from her center back spot for the Kelley-Rex winning Panthers. While Morse sometimes worked her way up the field, finding the back of the net twice and notching four assists, she made the biggest difference defensively. She finished the season with four goal-saving stops herself after opponents had beat the goalie. “Just a junior, Kate took over the reins at center back this season and really anchored our defense along by making several key defensive saves behind our goalkeeper throughout the season,” Franklin head coach Lisa Cropper said."
Caroline Lounsbury – Franklin – Midfield

"Franklin senior Caroline Lounsbury was truly a versatile option the Kelley-Rex division winning Panthers. Throughout the 2016 season, Lounsbury played all over the field – making an impact wherever she played. She recorded five goals and two assists on the season for Franklin. “A senior captain who played effectively and without complaint at midfield, forward, or back on defense depending on whatever the situation called for,” Franklin head coach Lisa Cropper said. “Caroline was our most versatile and unselfish player.”
