FHS Emma White takes 2nd in All-Around

"The high school gymnastics community has been buzzing the past two years over the emergence of Masconomet sophomore Bella Misiura and Franklin senior Emma White. Due to the pandemic, Misiura and her two-time state champion Masconomet teammates had not had the opportunity to face Franklin, which jumped into the spotlight last winter thanks to White’s high-level gymnastics. 
Misiura and White’s first all-around high school battle at Monday afternoon’s Massachusetts High School Gymnastics Coaches State Individual Championships at Tewksbury High School lived up to expectations. 
The title came down to the last event, floor exercise. Both completed difficult double back tumbling passes, Misiura’s front tumbling was the difference-maker, earning her a 9.575 score that gave her the title over White, 38.275 to 38.125. "

The State level team championships are scheduled for Saturday, Feb 26

Despite her execution of a difficult double back tumbling pass, Franklin's Emma White (above) came up just short of Masconomet's Bella Misiura, whose narrow victory on the floor exercise propelled her to the all-around title. ERIN CLARK/GLOBE STAFF/ERIN CLARK
