FHS' John Woodall one of five Hockomock Wrestlers to Earn All-State Titles

Via HockomockSports.com:

"Marcolini was one of five Hockomock grapplers to win an All-State title on Monday, joined by Franklin’s John Woodall (113), Mansfield’s Tessa Johnson (145), and Sharon’s Cyrus Jones (175) and Elsa Scott (107).

“Derek wrestled a great tournament, he was motivated all week and put in the work necessary to win All-States,” said Milford head coach PJ Boccia. “Proud of the way he has wrestled all year.”

Woodall, a sophomore, remained undefeated in his career by winning his second straight All-State title this time at 113. He needed just over 90 seconds to earn a 21-6 tech fall in the quarterfinals and then six takedowns in an impressive showing in the semifinals, a 19-6 major decision over Woburn’s Alexavier Orellana. Against the two-seed Devon Mateo (West Springfield) in the final, Woodall had two takedowns in the second period and two more in the third to earn a 12-3 major decision.

Woodall becomes just the fourth Hockomock wrestler to win All-States twice and the first in a decade, joining Foxboro’s Jack Leighton (1997 & 1998) and Matt Kelley (2015 & 2016) and Franklin’s Steve Heleniak (1999 & 2000).

FHS winter sports results for Thursday, February 19, 2026

Via Instagram, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Winter sports competition for Franklin High School on Thursday, February 19, 2026

Boys Basketball = Franklin, 37 @ Doherty, 48 – Final 

– Doherty built some breathing room through three quarters and finished strong in the fourth to knock off Franklin in the season-finale. Sophomore Danny Santos led the Panthers with nine points while Kyle Batla and Gio Carlucci each chipped in with six points.

Boys Hockey = Franklin, 1 @ Canton, 4 – Final 

– Junior Ryan Elrick scored a pair of goals in the third period to complete a hat trick and help Canton notch its second win over Franklin this season. The Bulldogs dominated the opening period and had a 23-1 advantage in shots on goal but Franklin senior Alex Weber stood tall and made some impressive stops to keep Canton scoreless. The hosts broke through just over four minutes into the second period as senior Joey Ryan dropped a pass to classmate Teddy Shuman, and he found Elrick in the right circle for a laser top shelf to break the stalemate. With under two minutes left in the middle frame, the Panthers nearly tied the game on a 2-on-1 when Thomas Quinn teed up Drake McAlpine, but Canton goalie Matt Wright made a quick push from left to right and made the stop. But on the ensuing face off, McAlpine circled the net, faked a centering pass, and then ripped a tight angle shot to the near post to tie the game 1-1 after two periods. Canton started the third with 58 seconds left on a power play but only needed 20 to regain the lead. Shuman once again found Elrick and this time he fired a low shot to make it 2-1. After killing off a Franklin power play, Canton got its third when sophomore Kellen Labanara found Ryan in the corner and he dropped a terrific pass to Elrick in the slot for his third goal of the game and 30th of the season. Ryan added an empty net goal in the final seconds to cap the scoring. Weber finished with 46 saves in net for Franklin.

Boys basketball = Franklin, 44 vs. New Bedford, 61 – Final 

– Franklin kept the game low scoring and controlled the tempo for the most part through two and a half quarters but New Bedford seized control over the final 12 minutes of the game to pull away for the win. The Whalers threatened to pull away in the third but senior James Crowley scored back-to-back buckets off feeds from classmate Jack Sullivan and sophomore Danny Santos, and sophomore Gio Carlucci added a free throw as the Panthers pulled within 31-26 with 3:30 to play in the third. But over the the remainder of the third and the first half of the fourth, New Bedford outscored Franklin 23-12 to gradually create separation. New Bedford freshman Camden Hill scored 17 of his game-high 24 points in the second half and Diego Montanari (20 points, 13 rebounds, six assists) had a strong all-around game. Sullivan led Franklin with 14 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists while Santos chipped in wit 12 points.

FHS girls & boys MIAA D1 swim results - Zack Pecora 1st in 200 IM

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.

Tran captured the Division 1 state title in the 200 yard free while Pecora finished 2.18 seconds ahead of Haverhill’s Brian Story to win the D1 title in the 200 yard IM. Tran and Pecora finished second and third, respectively in the 500 free behind Minnechaug’s Alexander Parent.

Attleboro’s Samantha Provost secured a pair of top five finishes on Saturday morning, taking fourth in both the 100 fly (59.12) and the 100 free (54.69). Sharon’s Cora Shea took second in the 200 IM.
