Boys soccer = Canton, 1 @ Franklin, 4 – Final
– Franklin turned a pair of long throws and some sharp combination play into a strong attacking performance to pull away from Canton. Junior Ethan Herndon started the opening goal just two minutes in with a long throw that junior Jake Boyd half-volleyed toward goal, where senior Deacon Eglintine redirected it near the post and off a defender for the lead. Franklin doubled it in the 13th after Eglintine hit the post, junior Cam Lambert found Herndon for a one-timer that was saved, and Eglintine collected the rebound before teeing up Boyd for a one-time finish inside the box. Canton pulled one back in the 24th when junior Jack Moran’s touch sent junior John DiLorenzo into the box, where he was taken down, and senior Nawfal Hijou converted the penalty. The Panthers restored the two-goal cushion in the 49th when another Herndon long throw was headed into the air by Lambert and senior Will McAuley hammered the dropping ball home on the volley. Franklin capped the scoring in the 75th as Eglintine sent a long ball forward, Lambert won the foot race with the oncoming keeper and poked it past him, and Herndon finished into the open net.
Girls soccer = Franklin, 4 @ Canton, 1 – Final
