Girls Basketball = Milford, 38 @ Franklin, 61 – Final 
– The Panthers bounced back from Tuesday’s loss by rolling to a big win over Milford, which also moves Franklin back to .500 on the season and keeps it two games back of division-leading Taunton. Franklin got off to a great start, scoring 19 in the opening quarter to lead by a dozen and then added 20 more in the second to make it 39-17 at halftime. In the third, Chloe Fales scored seven points and Sophie Pacheco added six, as the Panthers pushed the lead up to 33 going to the fourth. The Hawks outscored the hosts 14-4 in the final quarter led by TJ Downing’s seven. Fales set a season-high with 16 points to spark the Franklin offense. Norah MacCallum scored nine, Olena Malymina had eight, and Pacheco finished with seven (shooting 5-of-6 at the line). Downing scored a team-high 10 for Milford, which also got five points (all in the second half) from Olivia Baglione.

Boys Basketball = Franklin, 81 @ Milford, 53 – Final 
– Franklin’s offense was clicking on all cylinders as it poured in at least 20 points in each of the first three quarters and the Panthers ran away with an impressive win on the road. The visitors wasted little time to get going as they netted 23 points in the first. Senior Bradley Herndon had all eight of his points in the first, senior Sean O’Leary scored eight of his 10 points, senior Henry Digiorgio (six points) added a bucket, and junior Caden Sullivan started to warm up with five points as the Panthers jumped out to a 23-12 lead. Sullivan really got it going in the middle quarters, scoring 12 points in the second and 11 more in the third — including a deep three just before the buzzer — on his way to a career-high 28 points to lead the charge. Hansy Jacques and Justice Samuels added points in the third as the Panthers turned a 43-28 halftime edge into a 70-42 lead going into the final eight minutes.
