FHS field hockey team advances to Sweet Sixteen on Thursday

Via Instagram, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Fall sports competition for Franklin High School on Thursday, November 5, 2026.

Field Hockey = Division 1 = #31 Durfee, 0 @ #2 Franklin, 10 – Final

"The opening round of the playoffs can be nerve-wracking, even for a team of Franklin’s tournament pedigree and experience. It took the Panthers a quarter of Thursday afternoon’s Div. 1 first round visit from Durfee to the Beaver St. Turf to shake off the rust from more than a week off and click into gear.

While Franklin looked more like itself in the second quarter, it went into halftime leading by just two. The floodgates opened in the third, as the Panthers scored four times in the first four minutes of the second half, and junior Penelope Brady scored three of the team’s seven goals in the frame.

The Panthers turned a close game into a rout, running away with a 10-0 victory and booking a spot in the Sweet Sixteen.

Franklin coach Michelle Hess said, “They were concerned about this team. We had seen some film and I don’t know, they were a little hesitant. Once we talked about it, and I said, we’re not playing our game. You have to find something to get them going.”

FHS girls lacrosse & boys tennis teams advance in playoffs on Tuesday

Via Instagram, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Spring sports competition for Franklin High School on Tuesday, May 26, 2026

Girls Lacrosse = Division 1

#21 Andover, 5 @ #12 Franklin, 15 – Final

"Revenge was not something Franklin was trying to hide from.

The Panthers knew exactly what happened last season in the state tournament against Andover, and once the Warriors showed up in the bracket again, Franklin was not interested in pretending this was just another tournament game.

Click here for a photo gallery from this game.

One year after Andover ended Franklin’s season in an upset, the Panthers got their response Tuesday night, jumping out to a big lead and dominating after halftime to roll to a 15-5 win in the opening round of the Division 1 state tournament.

“We knew they knocked us out last year, so there was a little revenge,” Franklin coach Kristen Igoe Guarino said. “I think it’s a good mentality to have. We wanted to fight for everything — nothing’s given to us. I think that kind of happened to us a few weeks ago where we got complacent. It was important we came in with the mentality of you have to earn it, and playing a team who beat you last year is helpful.”

After rewriting the league championship meet records two weeks ago and dominating at sectionals a week ago, Sharon’s Feining Huang and Leo Tran along with Franklin sophomore Zack Pecora all won individual state championships over the weekend at MIT’s Zesiger Center.

Huang took home two titles on Saturday while Tran and Pecora each walked away with one on Sunday.

Both FHS field hockey and volleyball teams make it to the D1 FINALS

Via Twitter, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Fall sports competition for Franklin High School on Monday, November 12, 2025

Field Hockey = Division 1 Final Four = #3 Wellesley, 0 vs. #2 Franklin, 2 – Final

Volleyball = Division 1 Final Four = #16 Newton South, 0 vs. #5 Franklin, 3 – Final

The game recap written by Josh Perry || HockomockSports.com Managing Editor

"Newton South, the No. 16 seed, put together a magical run to the Final Four, including a win over the tournament’s top seed Chelmsford in the Sweet Sixteen. They went into Wednesday night’s state semifinal at Westwood High looking to complete a magical run to the program’s first final.

Instead, the clock struck midnight on this season’s Cinderella.

Franklin continued to roll, earning a dominant, 3-0 (25-16, 25-13, 25-16) victory. It was Franklin’s 17th straight victory, with 14 of those wins being sweeps including all four postseason matches. The Panthers fulfilled their preseason goal of reaching the program’s first state title game and will face perennial power Newton North in the final.

“We’re so excited,” said Franklin senior hitter Makayla Kuykendall. “Our goal wasn’t just to win the league but it was to win it all. [Coach Ridolfi] asked us what we wanted to get from this season and we said, a state championship. We’re so lucky and grateful to have this privilege to play.”

HockomockSports.com: "Franklin Outlasts Newton North To Win First Ever State Championship"

Ryan Lanigan || HockomockSports.com Editor, will have a more complete update and photo gallery later today (Monday):

"For the first time in program history, the Franklin boys basketball team are state champions.

The top-seeded Panthers held off a late push from #3 Newton North, including a potential game-tying three at the buzzer, to secure the title with a 55-52 win.

Senior Caden Sullivan scored 11 of his game-high 31 points in the fourth quarter, including some clutch free throws in the final minute to help Franklin get the win."

The Boston Globe also provides coverage

"There was a lot of weight on Caden Sullivan’s shoulders down the stretch of Sunday’s thrilling Division 1 boys’ basketball state final at Tsongas Center.

The weight of a grieving community, of a team full of new starters, and a program desperately trying to get over the hump for its first state title.

Franklin’s senior captain took it all in stride, stepping up with 14 of the Panthers’ final 16 points to out-duel Newton North star senior Teagan Swint in a 55-52 victory that went down to the final buzzer."

FHS boys basketball tops Central Catholic 52-44 to gain State D1 Finals

Via Twitter, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Winter sports competition for Franklin High School on Monday, March 10, 2025

MARCHING ON.....TO THE FINALS!!

By Ryan Lanigan || HockomockSports.com Editor

"Deadlocked with Central Catholic going into the fourth quarter and a trip to the Division 1 state championship in the balance, Franklin knew there was only one way to win the game.

After all, it’s what the Panthers have used all season to get to this spot.

Defense and rebounding.

Top-seeded Franklin limited the fourth-seeded Raiders to just eight points over the final eight minutes — forcing as many turnovers as Central Catholic had made field goals (3) — en route to a 52-44 win. The victory sends the Panthers to their second consecutive Division 1 state championship game."

.... 

"Franklin boys basketball (26-1) will take on the winner of #7 Springfield Central and #3 Newton North (being played on Tuesday) in the Division 1 state championship this coming weekend at the Tsongas Center. Date and time are yet to be announced. "
