Game #2 Results: #10 Franklin (3) Falmouth (1) 
(Shots Franklin 40 Falmouth 18)

1st period Recap:
Boys jump right out of the gate McEvoy, Balducci & Daley make a quick rush on the goalie but #35 makes a clutch save, on transition Falmouth gets a breakaway and beats Wagner to break the ice. As play ensued there was heavy forecheck by Lampasona, Paterson & Quinn and strong blueline play by Smith and Toli to hem Falmouth into the zone. Hard play follows with Hager, Langevin and C. Taccini. After 3 minutes of heavy ice tilt, Marchand and Smith double up with a big hit & breakout pass to Balducci who hits Daley in stride and finds McEvoy on the far side off to the races for the 5-hole goal! Big blue line stands by Arienti and Harrington throughout the period derails several rushes for Falmouth. #35 Falmouth's goalkeeper came up huge in the first savings 14 shots & kept things tight. Wagner solid first period.
2nd Period Recap:
It's an all-out rush on Falmouth's goal from the drop of the puck after the break, #35 is standing strong & doing all he can from this one being broken wide open. ISt power play comes about the 13-minute mark & #35 comes up big again. At 10:35 Lampasona makes a rush putting a shot on net that's deflected into the corner where Paterson gathers the puck & snaps a laser from the goal line that finds it way into the back of the net putting Franklin up I.C. Taccini, Langevin & Hager putting in some great shifts, only a matter of time till the chip one home. And w/ 6:46 to go in the 2nd Langevin wins an Ozone faceoff back to Matt Toli who snipes one from the point!! (ISt varsity GOAL!!!) putting Franklin up 2. McAlphine, Lewandowski & Carosi digging deep with a string forecheck & making a couple nice rushes. The defense continues to play strong, Marchand & Toli delivering some big hits while Arienti, Harrington & Smith hold the line. Franklin closes out the period with another 15 shots & out shotting Falmouth 30-6. Wagner holds tight & serves up a goose egg to Falmouth.
3rd Period Recap:
Things became very quiet as an injury on the ice that took the tempo of the game way down. Outstanding play by #35 Falmouth goalkeeper really the difference maker in keeping this game tight. #25 Falmouth we hope all is 0k, know you're in our thoughts & prayers!! 
Final Franklin 3 Falmouth 1 Wagner (POG) 
High points: lots of shots, tempo was good, building on team chemistry & experience. Making strides, still need to tighten up play but each game boys getting better. 
Franklin vs Canton: HOME - Wednesday 12/20 puck drops @ 6:00PM!

Player update.  Clipper defenseman Ethan Santos collided with a Franklin player last night  which resulted in him being transported to UMass Medical in Worcester.  I am happy to report Ethan is home resting comfortably and  will make a full recovery. @camkerry7 @BostonHeraldHS
