Twitter thread via https://twitter.com/R_Lanigan
  • Highly anticipated Kelley-Rex showdown on the ice at Foxboro Sports Center. King Philip (4-1 Hockomock, 8-7-2) hosting rival Franklin (4-1, 8-7-0), winner controls its destiny in division title race
  • Sophomore Grady Bianculli throws one on net, looked covered originally but it popped loose and sophomore Joe Robison tucks it in. Great start for the Warriors up 1-0 with 12:44 left 1P
  • Deflected clearance falls right to Ben Paterson for a breakaway and last year’s Hock MVP snaps one off the iron and it’s ruled a goal. Panthers pull level, 1-1 with 10:18 left 1P
  • Paterson gets his second, left free to clean up a rebound right in front and Franklin takes a 2-1 lead with 7:10 left 1P
  • Back and forth we go. Bianculli tees up Rowan Boulger and he rips one in and now the Warriors tie it up, 2-2, with 6:38 left 1P
  • End 1P: Franklin 2, King Philip 2. Warriors struck first, Panthers jumped ahead with two in a row but the hosts pulled even — all within the first nine minutes
  • King Philip cashes in with seconds left on a 5-on-3. Bianculli’s shot partially cleared but only as far as senior Sam Naggar and his blast from the blue line finds its way through traffic. KP back up, 3-2, with 7:39 left 2P
  • Great hustle from Max Robison leads to a breakaway that's stopped but Boulger follows up and uses a nice move alone in front for a short handed goal. King Philip up 4-2, 6:24 left 2P
  • End 2P: King Philip 4, Franklin 2. Big period for the Warriors with a power play goal and a short handed goal
  • Franklin gets one back within the first minute of the third. Slip behind the net leads to a chance, Dan Daley puts one on the doorstep for Anthony Lampasona. KP lead cut to 4-3, 14:06 left 3P
  • Massive response from King Philip. Jack Morgan comes streaking down the right side and flips one in just inside the post for an unassisted goal. Warriors back up two at 5-3 with 13:05 left 3P
  • Final: King Philip 5, Franklin 4. Warriors take down the Panthers and now sit in the driver’s seat in the Kelley-Rex division with two league games left. Trevor Walmsley with 26 saves in the win
