Boys Basketball – ‘Taylor Tough’ Night = Franklin, 73 @ Taunton, 49 – Final

Joseph Conlan hit one of Franklin’s four threes in the opening quarter and scored all nine of his points in the frame, Seth O’Donnell added a three, and Wyatt Herndon hit two triples as the Panthers jumped ahead 26-8. Senior Jake Olmstead hit eight shots from the floor and finished with a career-high 18 points, senior Caden Sullivan finished with 14 points, and Herndon added two more triples to finish with a career-high 12 points. Junior Seun Olaniyan scored a career-high 16 points for the Tigers while sophomore Amari Campbell also notched a new career-best with 11 points.
Girls Basketball = Taunton, 38 @ Franklin, 56 – Final
Josh Perry, Managing Editor of HockomockSports.com, provides the game recap:
"Senior Lauryn DiGiorgio has suffered through a pair of frustrating seasons. The forward has battled injuries and hasn’t been able to contribute since her freshman year, but this winter she’s returned to the court and added a new dimension to the Franklin offense.During Friday night’s visit from Taunton, DiGiorgio’s impact was on full display. She knocked down six threes (two each in the first and second quarters and one each in the third and fourth) and scored a game-high 18 points to power Franklin to a 56-38 victory over a fellow Kelley-Rex division title contender.Franklin coach John Leighton said, “Just the ability to play, no matter how it goes, with all the work that she’s put in and all the fear and the doubt and all that, it’s just so rewarding. I knew Lauryn was due for a night like this because she’s just a pure shooter. It’s one of the purest shots we’ve had in the program but we’ve missed it for a couple years.”
