Boys Lacrosse = Franklin, 4 @ King Philip, 11 – Final
"All season, Franklin has been a second half team. The Panthers rallied for league wins at both Sharon and Mansfield when trailing by multiple goals at halftime, so going into the break down three goals in Monday afternoon’s Kelley-Rex showdown at Macktaz Field was not an uncommon situation.
Franklin, which entered Monday with a 59-game league win streak and having already clinched a share of a 12th straight Hock title, scored twice and cut the lead to two midway through the third quarter. It felt like the tide had turned to the visitors. The Panthers seemed poised for yet another comeback.
King Philip answered the punch and regained control. The Warriors scored a pair of goals before the end of the third quarter, locked down on defense again, closed the game with a 6-1 run, and pulled away for an 11-4 win.
It was the first time anyone in the Hock had beaten Franklin since 2018 (59 straight games) and the first win for KP against its rival since April 2014, which was also the last time the two shared the Kelley-Rex crown."

"The Hockomock League keeps lining them up, and Franklin keeps knocking ‘em down.
The Panthers completed another undefeated league campaign — their 12th in a row — following a comfortable 13-6 win over King Philip, which entered the game with a chance to earn a share of the title with just one league loss to its name.
Franklin’s undefeated league streak will continue into next season, now at 133 straight Hock wins dating back to the 2012 season.
Six different Panthers found the back of the net with freshman Clara Blongastainer leading the way with a game-high five goals. "

– Franklin sophomore Cal McKenna escaped a bases loaded jam in the top of the fifth to halt Attleboro’s comeback bid and didn’t let the Bombardiers get a sniff at a rally the rest of the way as the Panthers earned a big 6-5 win. Franklin stormed out to a lead with a five-run first inning, taking a 6-2 advantage into the fifth inning. The Bombardiers rallied in the fifth to close the gap as Kelan Jones (2-for-3, three RBI) smacked a two-run single and Aidan Landers plated a run with a sac fly to make it 6-5. After a walk re-loaded the bases, McKenna (2.2 IP, 1H, 0R, 1BB, 3K) got a big strikeout to end the frame. He went on to retire the side in both the top of the sixth and seventh innings to complete the save.

Josh Perry, HockomockSports.com Managing Editor, provides the game recap:
"When Lola Ronayne came to the plate in the bottom of the fourth inning in Wednesday afternoon’s game against Franklin, there was an air of inevitability about what was about to happen next. Attleboro’s sophomore slugger had already tied the program record for home runs in a season the inning before and, with two runners on base and one out, the Panthers were forced to pitch to her again.
Ronayne got a pitch she liked and didn’t miss. She crushed a line drive that sailed over the fence in left center, opening up a seven-run lead for the Bombardiers, and setting a new season-best with her 13th homer of the spring (breaking the previous record set by McKenzie Bergdoll in 2019).
Attleboro took advantage of Ronayne’s big day (3-for-4, two home runs, three runs, and five RBI), bouncing back from a tough loss to league leader Taunton less than 24 hours earlier to beat Franklin 9-4 and sweep the season series."
– Franklin all three singles matches and took one more point from doubles to return home from Attleboro with a 4-1 win in a match that was played in pro sets.

Franklin’s second doubles tandem of senior Jai Kandula and junior Max Sebell grabbed a tight 8-6 win to wrap up the 4-1 win. Attleboro senior Hayden Crowley and junior Connor Houle grabbed an 8-5 win at first doubles.

Baseball = Franklin, 11 @ Stoughton, 1
– Final (5 inn.) – Franklin’s offense roared to life with a season-high 11 runs, turning a 4-0 lead into a commanding victory with seven runs between the fourth and fifth innings. The Panthers plated a pair in the first and two more in the third, including an RBI triple from Ryan Connelly, to stake a 4-0 lead. That lead doubled with a four spot in the fourth with both Jack Sullivan and Patrick Luizzi driving in a pair. Sullivan tacked on two more RBI in the fifth and Zach Winer had a sac fly to push the lead to double digits. Sullivan (four RBI, two runs) and Sean Kryzak (three runs) each had three hits, Luizzi (two RBI, run) had two), and Winer (two RBI, run), Connelly (RBI), DJ Silverstein (run), Cole Sidwell (two runs) and Joey Goguen each had one hit. Winer earned the win on the mound with one run charged on two hits and two walks, striking out five in four innings; senior Greg Bono struck out a pair in a scoreless inning in relief. Andrew Beder had a hit and an RBI for the Black Knights.
– Junior Sophia Sacramone dazzled in the circle and Franklin jumped out to a big lead early and never looked back in a big win over Stoughton. Sacramone tossed a one-hitter without issuing a walk, striking out eight in six shutout innings for the Panthers. Franklin provided plenty of offense for Sacramone, pushing across four runs in the bottom of the first, highlighted by an RBI double from Marley Allen, and then tacked on two more in the second when Allen hit a two-out, two-run double to right. Franklin added five more in the fifth and one more in the sixth to close out the win. Allen (three RBI, run) and Addi Weiss (two RBI, two runs) each had two hits for the Panthers, Ava Florest drove in a pair, and Josie Drucker chipped in with an RBI.
Boys Lacrosse = Franklin, 12 @ Sharon, 10 – Final
Josh Perry, HockomockSports.com Managing Editor, provides the game recap ->
"For the second year in a row, Sharon went into halftime against perennial league power Franklin holding onto a lead. Sharon has never beaten the Panthers but on Monday afternoon at Gary Hall Stadium the Eagles looked in complete control after jumping out to a 6-1 first half lead and going into the halftime break up by four.
All Sharon needed to do was keep playing its style, at its pace, and not allow the visitors to go on a run, but there is a reason that Franklin has been at the top of the league for so many years.
The 11-time defending Kelley-Rex division champions came storming back in the second half. Franklin went on a 10-1 run between the second, third, and fourth quarters and turned a five-goal deficit into a four-goal lead. Sharon added a couple late goals, but Franklin remained perfect in Hock play with a 12-10 win.
“We told the offense that if they’re not going to start shooting, then the defense will,” first-year Franklin coach Chris Baker said about his message to the offense at halftime. “They’re a great Hock team. Every team in the Hock, this is how it is this year. If you sleep on anybody, you’re in trouble.”
