FHS girls lacrosse & boys tennis teams advance in playoffs on Tuesday

Via Instagram, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Spring sports competition for Franklin High School on Tuesday, May 26, 2026


Girls Lacrosse = Division 1
#21 Andover, 5 @ #12 Franklin, 15 – Final

"Revenge was not something Franklin was trying to hide from.

The Panthers knew exactly what happened last season in the state tournament against Andover, and once the Warriors showed up in the bracket again, Franklin was not interested in pretending this was just another tournament game.

Click here for a photo gallery from this game.
One year after Andover ended Franklin’s season in an upset, the Panthers got their response Tuesday night, jumping out to a big lead and dominating after halftime to roll to a 15-5 win in the opening round of the Division 1 state tournament.

“We knew they knocked us out last year, so there was a little revenge,” Franklin coach Kristen Igoe Guarino said. “I think it’s a good mentality to have. We wanted to fight for everything — nothing’s given to us. I think that kind of happened to us a few weeks ago where we got complacent. It was important we came in with the mentality of you have to earn it, and playing a team who beat you last year is helpful.”

Franklin TV: "we (and our volunteers) created $1,766,464 of 'stuff' !!!

It’s where the magic happens.

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 05/24/2026

Srsly? Yep. The success (or failure) of any business relies on accurate information that comes from the back office – accounting data. How much ‘stuff’ did you sell? How much did it (really) cost you? Where’s your profit? Truth in numbers.

we (and our volunteers) created $1,766,464
we (and our volunteers) created $1,766,464

The above summary sheet is one of a few Excel worksheets that, together, divine the actual value of our work – our social worth – as a community organization.
If there’s anything that we could consider our ‘report card’, this spreadsheet is it. 

Although we are a nonprofit 501(c)3 charitable organization, we strive to measure what we produce in terms of its value – it’s actual market (street) value. Each year we attach commercial market rates to all that we do, item by item. If we didn’t exist, this is what folks would have to pay a business for our programming efforts.

What does it mean? In cell R2 we (and our volunteers) created $1,766,464 of ‘stuff’.

Our annual cable carrier funding is only $560,000. (and falling) – yet we persist.

Persisting. Producing. Prevailing. It’s what we do. It’s there – in the numbers.

And – as always –
Thank you for watching. 
Thanks for listening to wfpr●fm,
and staying informed at Franklin●news.
