"Ben Harvey wanted one last shot.Following Franklin’s 56-47 loss to Brockton in the MIAA Division 1 Round of 16 on Tuesday, the Franklin High basketball senior captain — still in full uniform nearly a half hour after the final whistle — took a basketball out onto the mostly-empty Panthers court and attempted a free throw.“Everyone knows the golden rule (that) you can’t end on a miss and I missed that (3-pointer) with eight seconds left so (I) had to end on a make,” Harvey said. “Free throws (have) been my most improved part of my game all year. So had to end it on a free throw.”

"On the road against the No. 2 seed, Franklin (18-5) went into Monday night’s Div. 1 Sweet Sixteen game wanting to prove that it can compete with one of the state’s best. To accomplish that goal, the Panthers were going to need to play some of their best basketball of the season.In front of a packed, raucous gym, they did just that.Franklin stormed out of the gates, building a nine-point lead at the end of the first quarter. Bishop Feehan rallied to cut the lead to just one by halftime and grabbed a lead heading to the fourth quarter, but the Shamrocks weren’t able to put the game away until the final minute, going 13-of-18 at the line in the fourth to pull out a 69-61 victory.“I have nothing but pride,” said Franklin coach John Leighton. “I’m so happy with the way they played. I know the final score is what it is, but we went out and played our best basketball and that’s all you can ask them to do.”

Game Results: #12 Franklin 11 #21 Andover 2 (Shots Franklin 34 Andover 16)
1st Period Recap:With a packed barn & an electric atmosphere; the boys came out buzzing! Franklin would strike first at the 12:38 mark on what would be their 6th shorty of the season when Logan Marchand disrupts an attack & the puck squirts out of the zone where Ben Paterson wins a foot race for the breakaway & tucks it home! The second goal would come at 10:47 mark when Tommy Balducci brings it into the zone fires a shot on net & the rebound goes to Jack Wernig who buries it! The3rd goal of the period & 7th shorty of the season comes off a great defensive stand by James Donovan & Logan Marchand that turns into a 2-man breakaway for Anthony Lampasona & Ben Paterson, who in turn slide the dish back& forth several times until Ben Paterson snipes it backside. Wagner has a solid first period locking it down & serves up the donut The period would end Franklin 3 Andover 0.
2nd Period Recap:The intensity &high pace play would continue into the 2nd and the scoring would ensue when@ the 11:34 mark Ben Paterson rips a shot from the point it hits steal & redirects to carmine Iannuzzi who tucks it home. Off the next faceoff Carmine Iannuzzi breaks it out to Ben Jarosz who hits a streaking Dylan McEvoy cross ice who takes it into the zone around a defenseman and hits Ryan Sicchio driving to the back post for the goal. At the 9:53 mark on the PP Ben Paterson walks it across the blue line then dumps it to Anthony Lampasona who puts a slippery pass by 2 defenders to find Dan Daley for the backside snipe. 2 minutes later Liam O'Reilly makes a nice pinch to chip the puck up to Ryan Sicchio who quickly gets it to Dylan McEvoy for the one timer goal in the slot. With 1:02 to go in the period & on the PP Ben Jarosz works the puck across the top of the zone to Ryan Sicchio who dumps it to Dylan McEvoy who hits carter Balducci at the goalie line and puts a nice backhander top shelf, that would end a 5-goal franklin for period. Zach Langevin, Pat Daley, and Mike Gates had an aggressive forecheck going on & turning into some good opportunities. Another strong defensive period for Logan Marchand, Carmine Iannuzzi, Aidan Kuykendalt and Liam O'Rielly in helping Wagner fend off another period and serving up another donut. The period ends Franklin 8 Andover 0.3rd Period Recap:At the 7:28 mark Anthony Lampasona wins an O zone faceoff back to Ben Paterson who slides the puck to Dan Daley who snaps one home from the circle. Andover gets one off the following faceoff & on the ensuing faceoff Franklin would fire right back when Ryan Sicchio chips the faceoff forward & Ben Jarosz wins the foot battle & finds Dylan McEvoy who walks in for the breakaway and tucks it top shelf. With 4 minutes to play strong defense by Aidan Kuykendall and James Donovan hem in Andover and .set up .some nice opportunities for Nick weber, Pat Daley and Mike Gates. At 1:47 James Donovan breaks the puck out to Nick Weber who brings the puck into the zone & drop passes it to Lucas Sheehan who snipes a laser top left comer for the final goal of the game. Andover finds the net 2x this period and that would wrap it up. Colby Wagner another solid performance and chalks up the dub.

"Franklin junior Sean O’Leary has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Feb. 12 through Feb. 18. O’Leary is the 21st player chosen as Player of the Week for the 2022-23 school year and ninth in the winter season.O’Leary came through in the clutch in both games last week, helping the Panthers overcome a pair of upset bids and finish the league campaign with just one loss. The junior forward scored 17 points in each game, but the bulk of his production came down the stretch of each contest, coming through with big buckets in the fourth quarter for the Kelley-Rex division champs. O’Leary is the league’s leading scorer and has the Panthers at 17-1 on the season.“Sean has been amazing this entire season and this past week was no different,” said Franklin head coach CJ Neely. “In both of our games he made huge plays down that stretch to score or set up his teammates and take over the final minutes in two big wins. He is such a great player and teammate.”
