"The postseason doesn’t begin until late next week, but the Attleboro and Franklin boys soccer teams provided a preview of what’s to come on Monday night.The Bombardiers became the first team to take a lead on the Panthers this season on a goal in the 45th minute from sophomore Corvengdjimy Thomas but the hosts rallied for the equalizer in the 59th minute off of the foot of senior Gustavo Martinez to earn a draw 1-1 draw.With the result, Franklin stays one point ahead of Attleboro in the Kelley-Rex division with one game left apiece.“I was very happy with them,” said Franklin head coach Fran Bositis. “That was the first time we’ve really faced that kind of adversity and they responded in a good way. I don’t like to tie, no one likes to tie, but we still control our own destiny. The best thing about tonight was that they found a way to come back, which is a good sign.”
"While Franklin was in position to win a sixth straight league title whether the Panthers won at Attleboro on Monday night or not, but beating the Bombardiers would seal the outright Kelley-Rex crown. It would be only the second time in this six-year run that Franklin sat alone atop the league standings and the Panthers weren’t in the mood to share that spot.Trailing Attleboro 2-1, with the Bombardiers on the verge of a season sweep and a share of the league title, Franklin found another gear. The Panthers held off the Bombardiers in the fourth set and carried the momentum into the fifth, jumping out a 10-0 lead and winning the decisive set in decisive fashion, 15-2, capping off a 3-2 (25-22, 24-26, 22-25, 25-20, 15-2) victory.“We talked a lot about how sets one, two, and three weren’t the volleyball that we can play,” Franklin coach Samantha Redmond said. “It was trying to manage emotions, work together, and play like we can play. It took until the fourth set to play Franklin volleyball again.”Senior hitter Taylor Lacerda added, “Especially since we lost at home, we definitely wanted to come out strong. We knew they’d have a pretty big fanbase coming here. We wanted to show them who Franklin is and come out super strong.”
Panthers with good showing at sectionals but fall short on qualifying for states, finishing 6th out of 18CJ Steel shot an even par 72 & qualified for the individual bid to states next Monday.Liam Lewandowski & Tyler O'Brien 82,Caden Sullivan 85,Jack Nelson 86,Ben Paterson 95

"Two weeks ago, Franklin emerged from a hard-fought battle against Foxboro with a win, but head coach Michelle Hess admitted her squad was a bit nervous before the contest.
Fast forward nearly two weeks and Franklin has now boosted its résumé on top of the win over Foxboro: a victory on the road at Concord-Carlisle, a shutout over perennial league power Canton last week, and the latest addition a 3-0 win over Kelley-Rex division rival King Philip on Monday afternoon.It’s safe to say the Panthers are now ready to play in the big games.“I think this stretch has helped us learn to play in these types of games,” Hess said. “As a coach, you’re always waiting for that ‘aha!’ moment where everyone comes together and says we got this. Their confidence in each other has really grown lately. Staying positive has been a big focus of ours this year, and they’ve really bought into it. We’re at that moment now and everyone is gelling, all the way from the front to the back, everyone is on the same page."
WE ARE ON FIRE!! HUGE 3-0 WIN vs a fast & skilled KP Team!! Haley Wernig scored 2 incredible goals & Brooke Taylor added a nice deflection for our 3rd goal of the game! Addi Weiss, Haley Wernig & Raena Crandall had the assists. (1/3)Our defensive unit played amazing again today & Devon Barry had a career high 12 saves to help preserve the shut out!! Our Defensive corner unit (Sophia Cuneo, Lindsay Dennett, Maddie O’Brien & Ella Griffin) turned them away on 8 corners!! (2/3)Lindsay Dennett had 2 AMAZING defensive saves & Maddie O’Brien & Ella Griffin each also had an incredible defensive save! I am so proud of this total team effort!! These girls are just amazing! They work so hard from the front line all the way back to the last line of defense!
"After failing to close out late leads in each of the first two sets of Monday night’s showdown of defending league champs, King Philip was finally able to hold off Franklin in the third to stay alive in the match. Ryann O’Sullivan rose up and smashed the final point and the visitors had a little momentum on their side.
Sometimes, a team taking the third set can carry that energy over and suddenly the teams are in the fifth and a match that seemed in control could go either way. That wasn’t how it played out on Monday.Franklin jumped out to an early lead in the fourth and, while KP would get as close as two points at 10-8, pulled away to win the set comfortably, 25-16. With the 3-1 (25-20, 25-23, 23-25, 25-16) win, the Panthers swept the season series with KP and remained tied with Attleboro atop the Kelley-Rex division.“We’ve been really trying to work on not acting like we’ve won after set two,” Franklin coach Samantha Redmond explained. “All year our third sets have been our lowest, so it’s a lot of refocusing. KP is a great team, but we made a lot of errors, so just minimize that and everything hopefully will go okay.”
