FHS boys basketball tops Bridgewater-Raynham to return to D1 Final 4

Boys Basketball = Division 1
#8 Bridgewater-Raynham, 50 @ #1 Franklin, 63 – Final

Josh Perry || HockomockSports.com Managing Editor, provides the game recap:
"Bridgewater-Raynham was never going to go quietly. The Trojans trailed by double digits after being held without a basket and to just a pair of free throws in the second quarter of Thursday night’s Div. 1 quarterfinal, but a 7-0 run to start the fourth saw the visitors trim the deficit to just six points.

Top seeded Franklin, last year’s D1 runner-up, needed a response to avoid the upset and book a second straight Final Four appearance.

Following a Deshawn Faulk dunk in transition, B-R had the ball under the Franklin basket with 3:30 to go. Jake Olmstead (17 points and five rebounds) picked off the inbound pass and he finished on the other end of the floor, pulling up and banking in a jumper. Wyatt Herndon then hustled to save a defensive rebound, hanging in the air and getting the ball to Caden Sullivan (24 points and 10 rebounds), who raced up the left sideline and finished at the rim.
 
The Franklin lead went from six with B-R in possession back up to double digits. The Panthers would close the game on a 14-7 run, including 8-of-10 at the line (after being 5-of-9 through three quarters), to close out a 63-50 victory."
