FHS volleyball "Falls To Barnstable In Five-Set Thriller" to end playoff run

Via HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the fall sports competition for Franklin High School on Saturday, November 12, 2022. We also provide the link to the full set of Hockomock League results below. 

Volleyball = Division 1 = #5 Barnstable, 3 @ #4 Franklin, 2 – Final 
Ryan Lanigan, founder and Editor-in-Chief of HockomockSports.com, provides the game recap:
"Right until the end, Franklin refused to give up.

Barnstable moved within a set of winning the Division 1 state quarterfinal with a dominating third set and had all of the momentum on their side with a 2-1 lead, and an early advantage in the fourth set.

Instead, fourth-seeded Franklin erased a four-point deficit with a 5-1 burst to pull even at 12-12. They took their first lead of the fourth set right out of a timeout and never trailed the rest of the way, outscoring the visiting Red Hawks 18-6 to tie the match at 2-2 and force a deciding fifth set. Barnstable, the fifth seed, pulled away after the switch to secure the 3-2 win and advance to the Division 1 state semifinal.

After splitting the first four sets, each winning in dominating fashion and each winning a close game, the fifth started exactly as one would predict between two of the best teams in the state."
