Boston Globe: "In Franklin, community and culture matter, and the result is sustained success for the girls’ lacrosse program"

"The day of a rivalry matchup at Franklin High, a hum of electricity flows through town. Youth players scribble on poster boards with crayons, writing messages to their favorite varsity lacrosse players. Parents dig through drawers of endless blue T-shirts, hoodies, and jackets searching for one fit for the occasion.

Franklin girls’ lacrosse players tie bows in their hair as fans — mostly residents of the 26-square-mile town — begin to fill the stands at Pisini Stadium.

“It’s just a really supportive town all around,” Franklin coach Kristin Igoe Guarino said. “Being in a sports town makes it even more fun.”

 

“I have high expectations, and the girls know that. That culture year in and year out is what keeps us going,” said Kristin Igoe Guarino, Franklin girls' lacrosse coach.MARK STOCKWELL FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE
