There is a series of "games to watch" for each of the sports this coming Fall season. I have selected the Franklin games that were highlighted thus far.

OCTOBER 21ST – BISHOP FEEHAN @ FRANKLIN – 10:00AM
With the playoffs just around the corner, Franklin will take on Bishop Feehan in a battle of two teams with perennial title aspirations. Two of the most consistent programs in the state, each fall it’s expected that they will be among the top seeds in Div. 1. They met in the 2013 D1 South final, with Franklin winning 2-1, and last year were the No. 3 and No. 8 seeds. In late October, the Panthers will be aiming to clinch a fourth straight league title, but this will be a good non-league diversion to see how they match up with another state power. It’s scheduled for an early morning kick-off but it will be worth getting out of bed to see these teams square off in a playoff preview.

OCTOBER 11TH – FRANKLIN @ KING PHILIP – 3:00
Speaking of heavyweight battles, here’s the Kelley-Rex’s version of that. Just days after the reigning Davenport champs clash, Franklin and King Philip will hit the links at Wentworth Hills for their second meeting of the season. It’s very possible this one will have severe title implications as both teams only have one division match left after this meeting. Both the Panthers and Warriors return most of their starting lineups so expectations are high for this season. The winner of this one will pick up some momentum heading into the championship at Thorny Lea.

SEPTEMBER 13TH – FOXBORO @ FRANKLIN – TBA
This should be an early-season treat for the second straight year. The two defending division champs will go head-to-head on the Beaver Street Turf in the second week of the regular season. The Panthers rolled through the majority of its league schedule last year, except for one team: Foxboro. The Warriors were the lone Hock team to take a point away as the two teams battled to a scoreless draw early on in the season. Foxboro is always very strong defensively and this was a testament to that based on Franklin’s offensive success the rest of the season. This will be another great battle.
OCTOBER 16TH – KING PHILIP @ FRANKLIN – 3:45
Franklin has won four straight Kelley-Rex championships in a row and their biggest challenger during that span has been King Philip. The Panthers will travel to Wrentham in the opening week of games so that will be a good early-season test but we’ve circled the second meeting between the two. It will mark the start of the final stretch of five games against division opponents so that will inflate its importance. KP graduated a large senior class but has a lot of their weapons back in the fold this year as they try to dethrone Franklin.
