Volleyball =    Division 1
#28 Springfield Central, 0 @ #5 Franklin, 3 – Final

– Franklin needed just over an hour to dispatch Springfield Central, controlling the match from the start in a 3-0 (25-11, 25-14, 25-19) sweep. The Panthers raced out to a 10-2 lead in the opening set behind three early kills from junior Emerson Delleo, along with contributions at the net from junior Genevieve Camire and freshman Marley Lindenmeyer, and never looked back. Springfield Central pulled even at 10-10 in the second, but Franklin answered with a 7-1 run that included kills from Lindenmeyer and junior Charlotte Yeulenski, back-to-back aces from Yeulenski, and a block from sophomore Phoebe O’Connor and Camire before pulling away again. Franklin built a 15-6 advantage in the third set with contributions throughout the lineup, including kills from senior Gianna Laurello, Yeulenski, Delleo, and Lindenmeyer and blocks from Laurello, sophomore Lauren Fitzhenry, and Lindenmeyer. Springfield Central battled back to within 20-17, but the Panthers closed on a 5-2 run to finish off the sweep. Delleo led Franklin with 10 kills, Lindenmeyer added seven kills and was part of four blocks, while Yeulenski and Laurello each finished with five kills. Franklin totaled eight aces and eight team blocks in the win.

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 boys soccer ties with Mansfield 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, October 29, 2026.

Boys Soccer = Mansfield, 1 @ Franklin, 1 – Final

– Mansfield battled back in the second half to earn a draw against Franklin. The Hornets played well in the opening half but went into the break down a goal before junior Connor Fernandes pulled them even midway through the second half. A deflected service from junior Tyler Gentili fell to Fernandes all alone with the keeper, and he blasted it home to tie the game. Mansfield turned in a strong team effort after halftime to secure the result.

Girls Soccer = Franklin, 3 @ King Philip, 4 – Final

"When King Philip’s Ella McDonald scored just five minutes into the second half, it sure felt like a case of “Here we go again.”

After six goals in a frantic first half, the seventh arrived almost immediately after the break, and it looked like the track meet would roll on.

Instead, that proved to be the last goal of the night, as McDonald’s strike stood up as the winner in King Philip’s 4-3 victory over Franklin."

Volleyball = Franklin, 2 @ Chelmsford, 3 – Final

The Lions, though, continuously found a way to respond and triumphed, 3-2.

Chelmsford (19-1, 14-1 MVC) capped off its regular season with three straight 3-2 wins in non-league games.

“Our team leadership was tremendous,” Lions head coach Edgar Valdez said. “If I wasn’t talking, they were talking.”

Field hockey = Lincoln-Sudbury, 1 @ Franklin, 1 – Final 

– Franklin closed out the regular season with an impressive draw against Lincoln-Sudbury in a battle of the top two teams in Division 1. The Warriors had been denied a win just once all season entering the matchup, but junior Penelope Brady put the Panthers in front with a beautifully finished penalty stroke late in the first quarter. Lincoln-Sudbury answered early in the second, and neither side could break through again in a tightly contested finish. Junior Elise Ackerman made six saves for the Panthers.

FHS girls soccer team tops Sharon (video) on Tuesday

Via Instagram, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Fall sports competition for Franklin High School on Tuesday, October 27, 2026.

Boys Soccer = Franklin, 0 @ Milford, 3 – Final

– After falling to Franklin during the regular season, Milford earned some bragging rights in the rematch against the team it shared the Kelley-Rex title with. The sides went into halftime scoreless with just one real chance apiece, but the Scarlet Hawks took control after the break with a strong team performance. Senior Gio Cappelli opened the scoring from the penalty spot after junior Lucas Rezende did well to earn the call, and junior Marcos Da Silva doubled the lead with a first-time finish off a cross from senior Mayck Moreira. Da Silva then delivered the corner that senior Gui Quaresma finished to cap the win.

Girls Soccer = Sharon, 1 @ Franklin, 4 – Final

– Franklin scored the opening four goals of the match to sweep the season series with the Eagles and continue its push for a top four seed in D1. Lily Strong got the opening goal in the ninth minute. She received a pass from Pheobe Cuneo in the box with two defenders on her back, but managed to spin and squeeze a shot between them and inside the far post. With 13 minutes remaining in the half, BB Vallee slipped a pass to Sophia Horton in space about 25 yards from goal and she ripped a shot that the keeper couldn’t keep out to double the Franklin lead. Laila Rosen scored twice in the second half, the first on a trademark shot from distance that soared into the top corner (assisted by Emmalee Doyle) and the second on a low free kick from the right wing that found its way over the line. Sharon scored seconds after the restart. Megan Pinnix made a run down the right side and cut the ball back to the spot for a one-time finish from Penny Wooden.
