** Volleyball

Division 1 = #25 Belmont, 0 @ #9 Franklin, 3 – Final

– Belmont came in riding the momentum of its big upset of Bishop Feehan but the Panthers quickly took the lead in the first set and never looked back for the 3-0 sweep (25-13, 25-12, 25-22). It was a balanced approach at the net for Franklin highlighted by eight kills from Olivia Alberti (seven digs, four blocks), seven kills from Emerson Delleo, and six kills from Makayla Kuykendall (13 digs, four aces). Faith Edgehille (22 digs) helped set the tone defensively while Brooke Daniels (20 assists) spread it around offensively. Franklin will travel to top-seeded Newton North (21-1) on Friday at 6:00.

** Field Hockey

Division 1 = #10 Wachusett, 1 @ #7 Franklin, 6 – Final

– Franklin built its lead over the course of the game with the first five goals of the contest to secure an impressive 6-1 verdict against Wachusett. Raena Crandall set up Addi Weiss for the lone goal of the first quarter and then tacked on a late goal in the second to help the Panthers stake a 2-0 lead at the break. Haley Wernig netted her 100th career goal to help Franklin extend its lead less than five minutes into the second half and Jossie Camp set up Crandall for Franklin’s fourth with a minute left in the third. Weiss got her second early in the final frame, and after Wachusett finally broke through at the midway point of the fourth, the Panthers responded within two minutes when Penelope Brady scored on an assist from Caydence Canavan. Devon Barry had a terrific game in net for Franklin with 13 saves to earn the win. “This was an amazing team effort and win for Franklin,” said FHS head coach Michelle Hess. #7 Franklin will travel to #2 Walpole on Saturday at 2:30 in a D1 state quarterfinal matchup.

Boys Soccer

Division 1 = #22 Franklin, 2 @ #11 Algonquin, 1 – Final (OT) 

– Franklin senior Danny Reis picked the perfect time for his first career goal, smashing in the game-winner from in close as the Panthers upset #11 Algonquin on the road in overtime. The host Titans staked a 1-0 lead midway through the first and it stayed that way 10 minutes into the second half. 

Franklin pulled level in the 51st minute when Matt Honekamp took a feed from Jason Proenca and quickly delivered a ball over the top of the defense. Senior Wyatt Herndon hustled to chase it down, getting around the last defender before poking it past the keeper to make it 1-1. 

With just moments left in the first sudden victory overtime period, a throw from Josh Rappa was headed on by Garrett Scagliarini and after Herndon made a play for the ball, it skipped through the box to the far post where Reis came flying in and beat the keeper to it, burying the game winner. 

#22 Franklin advances to play the winner of #6 Brockton and #27 Durfee, which is being played on Wednesday.

FHS girls outdoor track team captures MIAA D1 State Meet

Entering second day of the MIAA Division 1 track & field championship meet with a three-point lead, Franklin’s historic senior class could feel the state title within their grasp.

On Friday’s opening day of competition, star Sarah Dumas achieved the rare feat of winning the pentathlon and 400-meter hurdles on the same day. Her fellow senior teammates had risen to the occasion in the shot put and discus throw.

With one final afternoon to finish the job as a group, the seniors delivered.

Behind victories Sunday from Dumas in the 100 hurdles (14.29) and senior Elizabeth Hopkins in the javelin (137 feet, 2 inches), Franklin tallied 74 points at Westfield State to top runners-up Lowell and Westford (62 points each) and capture the program’s first Division 1 title.

“Winning a Division 1 championship has been a goal of ours since freshman year. And we’ve been working so hard, especially the senior class, for four years to make this happen,” said Dumas, who will run next year at Penn. “I sensed early in this season we had enough to do it … This ultimately is the culmination of all that hard work.”

Franklin TV: The MIAA Bracket Reveal

For High School Sports – This is a Big Event

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 03/03/2024

I ended last week with:

“ Saturday: 7:30am call time. Prepare to go live – statewide – with our first MIAA bracket reveal programs. Several other PEG studios will carry our programs live. “

I’m pleased to report that in a ‘first’ at Franklin.TV, working with MASSLive.com and MIAA (Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association), our studio was connected across the state via several other PEG facilities, and over the internet via YouTube LIVE. We conducted two one-hour broadcasts hosted by Meredith Perri of MASSLive, along with Franklin.TV’s Jay Horrigan and Pete Royce. Thanks to Jim Clark and Steve Dubzinski at MIAA for their work on the stats and brackets.

In the studio, L to R: School Sports Historian, Michael Richard, Jay Horrigan and Meredith Perri interview a student athlete. Chris Flynn is at the studio controls.

All in, more than 3,000 folks statewide; athletes, athletic directors, coaches, and others, tuned in to Franklin.TV or their local cable station, or they watched online via YouTube Live to see the MIAA results immediately as they were released.

Events like this are also opportunities to produce more challenging ‘reach’ projects that advance our studio capabilities and staff skills. We’re already planning more technical updates to facilitate and improve our future Live MIAA events.

Let the word go forth – from MIAA.

Thanks for listening to 102.9 wfpr●fm. 

And – as always – thanks for watching.
