FHS boys hockey tops Stoughton; wrestling drops close match to Mansfield

Via HockomockSports and Twitter, we share the results of the FHS sports action on Wednesday, Jan 16, 2019

Boys Hockey = Stoughton, 1 @ Franklin, 11 – Final

Wrestling = Franklin, 27 @ Mansfield, 30 – Final

Josh Perry, Managing Editor of HockomockSports.com, provides the wrestling match recap:
"Even the parents were out of their seats, creeping closer to the mat, and counting down the final seconds of the night’s final match. Mansfield junior Noah Jellenik laid flat on his stomach, holding off Franklin’s Riley Downing and waiting for the final horn to sound. 
As the ref waved his hand to signal the end of the match, Jellenik, who is in his first year as a wrestler, rolled onto his knees and threw his hands in the air in triumph. On three edges of the mat, his teammates, coaches, and Mansfield alumni hugged, cheered, and celebrated, as the Hornets moved one giant step closer to securing the program’s first ever Hockomock dual meet title. 
Although Downing won the 285-pound match 6-2, Jellenik had accomplished his only goal, which was to avoid a pin. With the Panthers only earning three points in the final match of the hotly-contested dual meet, Mansfield held on for a 30-27 victory."
