Joe Clark, HockomockSports.com Student Reporter, provides the game recap for the FHS boys basketball victory on Monday. FHS moves on to the D1 State Championship game scheduled for Saturday in Springfield, with exact location and time still to be determined.
"When Franklin took on Springfield Central at the DCU Center in Worcester a year ago, Chris Edgehill scored eight points in 20 seconds to tie the game and lead the Panthers to an overtime win to clinch a berth in the state championship.

Franklin played a near-perfect game en route to a 62-43 win over the Golden Eagles, handing Central its first loss of the season.
“This game was a little bit more comfortable than last year, we were watching guys cry as we put ourselves together to come back and win last year, so this game I thought we had a much more complete performance from start to finish, I was pretty confident in what we were doing out there,” said Franklin coach CJ Neely."
