FHS Panthers

HockomockSports.com: Player of the Week -> Katelynn Taylor, FHS Track

The Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, is selected by the HockomockSports.com staff 

"Franklin senior Katelynn Taylor has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for June 6 through June 12. Taylor is the 26th player chosen as Player of the Week for the 2020-21 school year and sixth in the spring season. 

Taylor continued her impressive senior season with a record-breaking week. She set new school records in the shot put (twice) and the discuss, closed out the dual meet season with first place finishes in both events, and then won both at this weekend’s Hockomock Championships at Foxboro High, which helped Franklin take the team title. 

“Katelynn entered this season determined to win the Hockomock Championship and break the Franklin school records in both the shot put and discus and she accomplished it all,” said Franklin coach Mark Rudolph. “What’s best is that she is a competitor and throws best in the biggest, most competitive meets. Katelynn still has so much potential and she is just scratching the surface of what she can accomplish. I’m so thrilled that Katelynn is going to continue her throwing career at Springfield College”

FHS softball, boys tennis, and wrestling teams all post wins on Thursday

From HockomockSports.com we share the FHS spring sports results:

Baseball = Franklin, 0 @ Mansfield, 2 – Final 

– Mansfield scored back-to-back runs in the bottom of the fifth and the duo of Aaron Blinn and James Gilleran combined for a shutout as the Hornets handed Franklin its first loss of the season. Gilleran reached on an error and Liam Anastasia had a bunt single to put two runners on. Junior Colby Geddis followed with a single to bring in courtesy runner Andrew Slaney, and junior Anthony Sacchetti followed with an RBI single of his own to plate Anastasia. Blinn got the start for the Hornets, tossing 3.1 scoreless innings, allowing just two hits and one walk with five strikeouts. Gilleran came on in relief to close it out, giving up just one hit in 3.2 innings of work, striking out four. Franklin starter Jacob Jette had just two unearned runs allowed on four hits and one walk, striking out four in 4.2 innings.

Softball = Mansfield, 1 @ Franklin, 2 – Final 

– Franklin scored twice on three hits in the first inning and was able to hold off the Hornets to earn a split of the season series. Mansfield got its lone run in the top of the second. Molly Kucharski, Ashlyn Conley, and Nicole Kobasa had three straight singles and then a fielder’s choice by Abby DeCoste plated the run. Conley, who was 3-for-3 at the plate, was strong in the circle, despite picking up the loss. She allowed only one hit after the first inning.

Boys Tennis = Franklin, 3 @ Sharon, 2 – Final 

– Franklin’s Vayshnav Malhotra emerged from a three-hour marathon match at second singles with a three-set victory to give the Panthers a 3-2 decision over Sharon. Malhotra won the first set in a tiebreaker, dropped the second set, and then prevailed in a back-and-forth third set, the score finishing 7-6 (5), 4-6, 7-5. Liam Marr (6-2, 6-2) added a win at first singles while the team of Thomas Broyles and Jay Gorgas (7-5, 6-4) battled to a tight win at second doubles. 

Almost 50 years of history.  We still here. The panthers take down the undefeated first seed Sharon, after the drought of the century 3-2. The panthers advance to a 10-0 season.

What good journalism does

"Revealed: chemicals giant sold Louisiana plant amid fears over cost of offsetting toxic emissions"

"Chemicals giant DuPont decided to sell a plant in south Louisiana that emits a likely cancer causing pollutant, citing “major concerns” that government agencies would regulate its emissions to protect the community living nearby, internal documents seen by the Guardian reveal.

The documents show the multibillion-dollar company worried in 2011 about the potential cost of offsetting its emissions of the “likely human carcinogen”, chloroprene, and so moved to sell the plant, the Pontchartrain Works facility.

The company codenamed the sale “Project Elm” in an apparent bid to keep the deal, completed in 2015, secretive. It is also alleged the company withheld details of its own research to offset emissions from the plant’s new owners."

"Fake Doctors, Fake Documents: How a Russian Doping Lie Fell Apart"

"If the cover-up was to work, the high jumper Danil Lysenko realized far too late, he had better familiarize himself with the Moscow hospital where Russian track and field officials had insisted he had undergone a battery of medical tests.

The details mattered. The tests were the centerpiece of Russia’s explanation for why antidoping officials had been unable to locate Lysenko in the spring of 2018.

The punishment mattered, too: Athletes found guilty of so-called whereabouts failures — effectively failing to make themselves available for random drug tests — can face suspensions of up to two years. Those caught lying, falsifying documents or obstructing investigators risked even worse. Either sanction, though, would most likely keep Lysenko, a talented high jumper who has just turned 21, from representing Russia at the Tokyo Olympics."
