FHS field hockey and football teams open with wins over Milford

Via HockomockSports.com we share the results of the FHS fall sports action on Thursday, Sep 5, 2019

Field Hockey = Franklin, 13 @ Milford, 0 – Final

Volleyball = Franklin, 1 @ Milford, 3 – Final

Football = Milford, 27 @ Franklin, 34 – Final
Josh Perry, Managing Editor of HockomockSports.com, provides the game recap:
"Graduation hit both teams’ offense hard. One team lost its all-star, dual-threat quarterback, and the other lost the bulk of its starting receivers, but on Thursday night at Pisini Field both Franklin and Milford showed that they have plenty of firepower remaining.

The two teams combined for 61 points, including 40 in the second half alone, and more than 600 yards through the air. In the end, the Panthers had just enough to hold off the Hawks and pull out a 34-27 victory in the season opener for both programs.

Franklin quarterback Thomas Gasbarro completed 70 percent of his passes (21-of-30) and threw for 293 yard and three touchdowns, while Milford senior Colby Pires completed 57 percent of his throws (12-of-21) for 325 yards and three scores of his own.

It didn’t take the hosts long to get into sync. On its first possession, starting at the Milford 46, Gasbarro hit Jack Nally for an eight-yard completion and then on the second play from scrimmage hit Jake Davis in stride down the far sideline. The senior receiver dove from several yards out and just snuck inside the pylon for a 7-0 lead."
