FHS boys basketball tops Central Catholic 52-44 to gain State D1 Finals

Via Twitter, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Winter sports competition for Franklin High School on Monday, March 10, 2025


MARCHING ON.....TO THE FINALS!!
MARCHING ON.....TO THE FINALS!!
By Ryan Lanigan || HockomockSports.com Editor
"Deadlocked with Central Catholic going into the fourth quarter and a trip to the Division 1 state championship in the balance, Franklin knew there was only one way to win the game.

After all, it’s what the Panthers have used all season to get to this spot.

Defense and rebounding.

Top-seeded Franklin limited the fourth-seeded Raiders to just eight points over the final eight minutes — forcing as many turnovers as Central Catholic had made field goals (3) — en route to a 52-44 win. The victory sends the Panthers to their second consecutive Division 1 state championship game."

.... 

"Franklin boys basketball (26-1) will take on the winner of #7 Springfield Central and #3 Newton North (being played on Tuesday) in the Division 1 state championship this coming weekend at the Tsongas Center. Date and time are yet to be announced. "

FHS boys basketball tops Bridgewater-Raynham to return to D1 Final 4

Via Twitter, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Winter sports competition for Franklin High School on Thursday, March 6, 2025


Boys Basketball = Division 1
#8 Bridgewater-Raynham, 50 @ #1 Franklin, 63 – Final

Josh Perry || HockomockSports.com Managing Editor, provides the game recap:
"Bridgewater-Raynham was never going to go quietly. The Trojans trailed by double digits after being held without a basket and to just a pair of free throws in the second quarter of Thursday night’s Div. 1 quarterfinal, but a 7-0 run to start the fourth saw the visitors trim the deficit to just six points.

Top seeded Franklin, last year’s D1 runner-up, needed a response to avoid the upset and book a second straight Final Four appearance.

Following a Deshawn Faulk dunk in transition, B-R had the ball under the Franklin basket with 3:30 to go. Jake Olmstead (17 points and five rebounds) picked off the inbound pass and he finished on the other end of the floor, pulling up and banking in a jumper. Wyatt Herndon then hustled to save a defensive rebound, hanging in the air and getting the ball to Caden Sullivan (24 points and 10 rebounds), who raced up the left sideline and finished at the rim.
 
The Franklin lead went from six with B-R in possession back up to double digits. The Panthers would close the game on a 14-7 run, including 8-of-10 at the line (after being 5-of-9 through three quarters), to close out a 63-50 victory."

FHS boys soccer playoff run ends with 0-1 loss to Xaverian on Wednesday (video)

Via Twitter, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Fall sports competition for Franklin High School on Wednesday, November 13, 2024

Boys Soccer
Division 1 - #22 Franklin, 0 @ #14 Xaverian, 1 - Final

1-0 loss in the quarterfinals to Xaverian. The boys played their heart out for 80 minutes. Thank you to all 15 Seniors for 4 amazing seasons, Wyatt, Garrett, Matt, Nick, Jimmy, Danny, Jake, Alex C, Alex S, Richie, Connor, luke, Aidan, Jibreel, and Gabe.  https://x.com/_FranklinSoccer/status/1856872974780952655
Thank you to anyone that came to support the team, and thank you to coach for a fantastic first year. A lot to be proud of after going 16-5-1, Hockomock Champs, and a historical playoff run. Thank you.

Via Josh Perry, HockomockSports.com:
"In Westwood tonight for a D1 quarterfinal, #22 Franklin (16-4-1) trying to reach the state semifinal for the first time since winning the EMass crown in 1976 and will face #14 Xaverian (12-5-3), Panthers have won in OT in each of the last two rounds #hockomock"

"Franklin with all of the best chances so far and now the Panthers hit the bar twice inside a minute, Danny Reis (I think) had the first one with a shot from 40 yards and then Wyatt Herndon hit a line drive from 25 yards that struck woodwork as well, still 0-0 #hockomock"

"Halftime: Franklin 0, Xaverian 0, Panthers had the better chances, including the two crossbars, but couldn’t find a breakthrough and the Hawks nearly got one against the run of play when Drew Logie got behind the defense and touched it just wide #hockomock"

"Xaverian with a flurry of chances and now the opening goal, Luke McPhillips had his shot saved and Mitchell Kisgen was there to tap in the rebound, 1-0 midway through the second half #hockomock"

"Final: Xaverian 1, Franklin 0, Franklin had a great chance go wide with 10 minutes to play and for the third straight season the Panthers have their season come to a close in the D1 quarterfinal #hockomock"

FHS Boys soccer grabs wins in OT to advance to Final 8

Via Twitter, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Fall sports competition for Franklin High School on Tuesday, November 5, 2024


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 baseball team ends playoff run in 8th vs. St John's Shrewsbury (video)

Via Twitter and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Spring sports competition for Franklin High School on Tuesday, June 4, 2024.


Baseball = Division 1 = #15 Franklin, 4 @ #2 St. John’s Shrewsbury, 5 – Final (8 inn.) 
– Down to its last out in the top of the seventh, Franklin rallied for a pair of runs to keep the game going but St. John’s came through with the winning run in the bottom of the eighth. A two-out, two-run double from senior Ben Yuknis plated a pair in the top of the third to give the Panthers an early lead. The Pioneers cut that lead in half with a run in the fourth and scored a trio of runs in the bottom of the sixth to seize their first lead of the game, 4-2. In the top of the seventh, sophomore Sean Kryzak led off with a walk, senior Henry Digiorgio singled, and Yuknis was intentionally walked to load the bases with two outs. Senior Jake Shaughnessy came through with a single to left to bring in two runs and tie the game. Franklin had a chance to regain the lead in the top of the eighth when Kryzak singled and Dom Caccavelli walked, both with two outs, but the Pioneers got a big strikeout. St. John’s pushed across the winning run after a two-out single from Jamie Herlihy, who then stole second, and scored on a single from Brayden Mercier. Shaughnessy allowed one run on five hits and one walk, striking out seven in five innings.

FHS baseball tops Lawrence to advance in playoffs, girls tennis end playoff run at Belmont

Via Twitter and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Spring sports competition for Franklin High School on Sunday, June 2, 2024.


Baseball = Division 1 = #18 Lawrence, 2 @ #15 Franklin, 5 – Final
Ryan Lanigan, founder and Editor-in-Chief of HockomockSports.com, provide the game recap:

"This time of year, there are no bad teams and there aren’t any easy games.

Against a talented Lawrence squad, #15 Franklin created enough offense and came up with key plays at key moments to secure a 5-2 win in a Division 1 Round of 32 matchup on Sunday evening.

Despite just five hits, Franklin manufactured five runs through a combination of walks (four), aggressive base running, and selfless plays at the dish. On the mound, senior Austin Campbell battled his way through six innings and delivered in the biggest moments of the game.

“Anybody that makes it to this point in the season is a good baseball team,” said Franklin head coach Zach Brown. “This Lawrence team, they have a lot of pride and they’re well prepared. All the reports we got from teams that had played them were extremely complimentary of their lineup, how dangerous they were, and how aggressive they were. And it all played out there [tonight].”
