Volleyball = Franklin, 1 @ Attleboro, 3 – Final
"The final point of Thursday night’s Kelley-Rex title showdown reflected the match as a whole. Both teams threw themselves all over the Attleboro High court, making sure that no point was easy and that every rally was extended. In the end, sophomore Olivia Leonardo (five kills) rose up and fired a cross-court shot to seal the victory.
It was a grind and closer than the scores indicated, but Attleboro pulled out a 3-1 (25-23, 25-16, 16-25, 25-18) over rival Franklin to clinch the program’s first outright league title. It was the culmination of an incredible run by this year’s senior class, which turned around a one-win team into not only a Hock power but one of the top contenders for the Div. 1 state title.
“I was not willing to say that before tonight,” Attleboro coach Mary Katherine Runey joked about being Hock champ. “Five years ago, we won one game. It was great two years ago to win it in a tie (with Franklin and King Philip) but this feels extra special, especially with the seniors that I have. They deserve it. They’ve put their heart and soul into this program to make a lasting change.”
Josh Perry, Managing Editor of HockomockSports.com provides the game recap ->
– Franklin scored a pair of second half goals to overcome a halftime deficit and knock off an upset-minded Attleboro squad. Franklin senior Haley Wernig scored the first goal of the game just over two minutes into the game but Attleboro senior Nora Desrosiers answered six minutes later to pull the Bombardiers even. Attleboro sophomore Niah Callahan scored midway through the second quarter off an assist from classmate Megan Huntington to give the hosts a 2-1 lead at half. Franklin pulled level with just under two minutes left in the third as Maddie O’Brien finished off an assist from Sawyer Whitmore to make it 2-2. Senior Raena Crandall tallied the winner for the Panthers at 4:42 of the fourth, assisted by Wernig. Devon Barry made three saves in net for Franklin while Siany Ortez-Amaya recorded 14 saves for the Bombardiers. “I could not be more proud of this crew for quality of play they showed against a tough Franklin team,” relayed Attleboro coach Jess Pink.

Boys Soccer = Franklin, 3 @ King Philip, 0 – Final
– A trio of first half goals handed Franklin a win on the road in Wrentham, sweeping the season series against King Philip.

Scagliarini earned his second assist of the game by setting up classmate Matt Honekamp to make it 3-0.
Girls Soccer = King Philip, 2 @ Franklin, 3 – Final
Josh Perry, Managing Editor of HockomockSports.com provides the game recap:
"When Kelly O’Connor received the throw in on the left side, there didn’t appear to be any danger to the King Philip goal. Even when the Fairfield-commit swiveled to the inside and onto her right foot, she seemed to be at a distance and an angle that meant there was no chance the ball could end up in the net.
O’Connor proved everyone wrong. She started her shot well outside the far post, but curled it around a pair of Warriors in the box, past the reach of the keeper, and into the side-netting to put the Panthers in the lead with just over five minutes remaining in Wednesday’s Kelley-Rex division title showdown at Pisini Stadium.
The stunning goal, O’Connor’s second of the match, lifted Franklin to a come-from-behind, 3-2 win and means that the two teams who shared last year’s title are once again tied at the top with four matches left in the season."

Boys Soccer = Franklin, 2 @ Mansfield, 1 – Final
– The Panthers potted the go-ahead goal with just under five minutes left to escape Mansfield with a hard-fought win over the Hornets. After a scoreless half, the game opened up a bit more in the second. A questionable call led to a throw-in in the attacking third for the Panthers and junior Josh Rappa didn’t hesitate to take the throw quickly. He launched a service into the area and senior Garrett Scagliarini went up and flicked it past the keeper in the 49th minute to present the Panthers with the first lead of the game. Mansfield’s direct approach in the second half opened the field a bit more, and head coach Steve Sheridan elected to move senior center back Cooper Austin into an attacking role. The switch paid off as Austin did well to hold up play before dishing it off to classmate Dylan Mullin, who was able to work his way between a pair of Panthers before connecting with Dom Nassif on a centering pass. Nassif’s one-timer snuck in at the near post as Mansfield pulled even in the 69th minute. Mansfield continued the pressure but Franklin’s back four was able to hold to quell the momentum. A free kick from Matt Honekamp was eventually played on by Scagliarini to the outside for a header from Rappa. Connor Mason was able to bring it down and dropped a ball in behind the defense and Wyatt Herndon was the first to it, getting a touch to beat the charging keeper.
Girls Soccer = Mansfield, 2 @ Franklin, 2 – Final
"It has been a tough week for Franklin. After dropping points to Bishop Feehan and Sharon within 24 hours of each other to start the week, the Panthers could have been forgiven for letting their heads drop when Aly Fernandes gave Mansfield a deserved two-goal cushion early in the second half of Friday afternoon’s game at Pisini Stadium.
Rather than letting the Hornets run away with a big win, Franklin fought back.
The Panthers scored twice in a 15-minute span, Morgan Lovell equalizing with just 11 minutes to play. Mansfield nearly came back and won the game a few minutes later, hitting the bar for the second time in the match, but it finished 2-2 and Franklin left the pitch as the happier of the two teams after grabbing a come-from-behind point."
