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.

Boys basketball = Franklin, 62 @ Sharon, 37 – Final 

– Franklin jumped out to an early advantage, built a comfortable lead by halftime, and ran away with it in the third to sweep the season series against Sharon. Five different Panthers chipped in in the scoring column to take a 12-5 lead after one, and then senior Jack Sullivan took over for the visitors. Sullivan scored 11 of his 21 points (tying a career-high) in the second while senior Justice Samuels and sophomore Danny Santos each had five points as Franklin’s lead ballooned to 33-12 by halftime. The Panthers’ defense continued to slow Sharon, holding the Eagles to single digits again in the third to carry a 51-19 lead into the final eight minutes. Sophomores Gio Carlucci (12 points) and Cam Lambert (10 points) also scored in double figures for Franklin.

Girls basketball = Sharon, 44 @ Franklin, 53 – Final 

– Franklin celebrated senior night with a win over Sharon that clinched the outright Kelley-Rex division title. The Panthers knocked down four threes in the first (one each from Liz Dumais, Sophia Sacramone, Kaylee Fernandes, and Ava Bonney) to take a 14-11 lead after one. Freshman Lila McCarty scored six of Sharon’s 11 in the quarter. The lead bloomed to double digits in the second, as Franklin outscored the Eagles 17-9. Dumais added six points and Bonney and Sacramone each hit their second threes of the night. Anaisha Sharma scored five points for Sharon to keep the Eagles within 11 (31-20).

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 12, 2026

Boys Hockey = Mansfield, 0 @ Franklin, 9 – Final 

Franklin TV video for replay - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWj9yQcKJLw

– Thomas Quinn (assist) and Drake McAlpine (three assists) each scored twice, as Franklin picked up its second win in less than 24 hours. It was a physical game to start with more hits in the first period than shots on goal. With 3:18 left in the first, Rocco Lampasona’s shot from the right-wing circle was tipped in by Quinn to put the Panthers in front. Franklin broke the game wide open in the second, scoring on five of its 12 shots. Just 34 seconds into the period, McAlpine made a perfect pass across the crease to Quinn or a tap in. It was Quinn’s fifth goal in the last two games. Less than two minutes later, Nathan Dennett slipped a pass through a defenseman’s skates into the path of Collin Canavan, who buried the breakaway chance. McAlpine would get his first when he cut across the zone from the left-wing boards and lifted a backhand from the slot. He would then get another assist with an angled pass across the zone to Lampasona, who fired his shot just under the bar. On a two-on-one, Canavan saucered a pass over to Dennett, who went bar-down for a 6-0 lead. In the third, McAlpine added his second, Dylan Parmenter capped senior night by scoring his first varsity goal, and Ayden Doyle tacked on a ninth for the Panthers (their 14th goal in the past two days). Thomas Rovani made 24 saves to earn the shutout.

FHS boys hockey tops Bishop Feehan on Wednesday

Via Instagram, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Winter sports competition for Franklin High School on Wednesday, February 11, 2026

Girls Basketball = Franklin, 29 @ Wachusett, 74 – Final

Boys Hockey = Franklin, 5 vs. Bishop Feehan, 2 

– Franklin secured a massive win in its quest to earn a playoff berth, beating a Feehan team that went into the game nine places above the Panthers in the Div. 1 rankings. Thomas Quinn had a hat trick and an assist to power the Franklin offense. Rocco Lampasona also found the back of the net and dished out a pair of assists, while Drake McAlpine had a goal and an assist. Drew Stolller also had a helper in the win.

Girls Hockey = Canton, 5 @ Franklin, 1 – Final 

– Franklin took a shock lead early in the second period but Canton answered with five straight goals to secure the league win and a sweep of the season series. The Bulldogs dominated the opening period but couldn’t find a way past Franklin junior goalie Abby Trevino, who made 17 saves in the first to keep the game scoreless. Franklin had only one shot from outside the blue line in the first, but a minute into the second it was the Panthers who found the back of the net first. Freshman Cade Taccini slipped a pass across the crease and Chiara Pecci was able to slide it under the pads for Franklin’s 10th goal of the season. The lead only lasted 38 seconds before Canton tied it. Grace Donahue’s shot from the point went through a crowd of bodies and was knocked down in the crease. Abby Stock pounced on the loose puck and knocked it in. Midway through the second, Canton took the lead. Freshman Stella DiLorenzo collected a loose puck on the right side and snapped off a shot that beat Trevino from a tight angle. Trevino made a nice save to deny Rori Sasin, but the sophomore forward stuck with the rebound and flicked it into the net for a 3-1 lead. With 1:04 left in the period, Shannon Lane made a nifty pass to Sasin in the slot and Sasin smashed a one-timer into the top corner. Both teams hit the post in the third and Canton added a fifth with 5:25 to play. Cassidy Lyons carried the puck behind the net and slid a pass in front for DiLorenzo to add her second. Trevino finished with 40 saves for the Panthers.
