FHS girls swim team take 1st & boys take 2nd in MIAA South Sectionals

via HockomockSports.com Staff, we can additional info on the MIAA South Sectional Swim meet results:
"Swimmers from the Hockomock League made a splash at the MIAA South Sectional meets over the weekend at MIT, especially on the girls side.

Hock swimmers took first place in eight of the 11 events on the girls side, three more boys swimmers were sectional champs, and the Franklin girls team earned a convincing win to secure its second South sectional title in the past three seasons.

Senior Harika Birali was the lone individual winner for the Panthers with a first-place finish in the 100 yard backstroke, and then teamed up with senior Kseniya Baghdasaryan, sophomore Ava Pecora, and senior Taylor O’Neil to win the 400 free relay. Despite just the two first place finishes, Franklin had a top seven finish in all but one race as its depth earned crucial points throughout the meet to finish with 229 points — well ahead of second place Dover-Sherborn."

Girls Basketball = Franklin, 42 @ King Philip, 54 – Final 
Josh Perry || HockomockSports.com Managing Editor provides the game recap -> 
"Throughout the first half of Friday night’s Kelley-Rex title showdown in the Wooden Gym, King Philip felt like it was on the verge of being able to pull away and put some distance between itself and Franklin, but the Panther kept finding ways to answer back.

In the third quarter, that changed. The Warriors went on a 16-0 run and outscored Franklin 18-3 overall to turn a three-point game into a comfortable 20-point cushion.

Although the Panthers responded with 16 points in the fourth, KP never looked that troubled over the final eight minutes and celebrated a 54-42 victory. It was KP’s first win over the Panthers since December 2013, a stretch of 22 games, and it moved the teams into a first-place tie with four league games remaining."

FHS girls swim tops Milford, girls (video) & boys basketball teams top Taunton on Friday

Via Twitter, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Winter sports competition for Franklin High School on Friday, January 3, 2025 


Boys Basketball – ‘Taylor Tough’ Night = Franklin, 73 @ Taunton, 49 – Final
– Franklin came out of the gates flying, exploding for 26 points in the first eight minutes and the Panthers never looked back from that point on. Even after the host Tigers limited the Panthers to eight points in the second quarter, Franklin started the second half in similar fashion as they did the beginning of the game, pouring in 25 points in the third. Joseph Conlan hit one of Franklin’s four threes in the opening quarter and scored all nine of his points in the frame, Seth O’Donnell added a three, and Wyatt Herndon hit two triples as the Panthers jumped ahead 26-8. Senior Jake Olmstead hit eight shots from the floor and finished with a career-high 18 points, senior Caden Sullivan finished with 14 points, and Herndon added two more triples to finish with a career-high 12 points. Junior Seun Olaniyan scored a career-high 16 points for the Tigers while sophomore Amari Campbell also notched a new career-best with 11 points.

Girls Basketball = Taunton, 38 @ Franklin, 56 – Final
Josh Perry, Managing Editor of HockomockSports.com, provides the game recap:
"Senior Lauryn DiGiorgio has suffered through a pair of frustrating seasons. The forward has battled injuries and hasn’t been able to contribute since her freshman year, but this winter she’s returned to the court and added a new dimension to the Franklin offense.

During Friday night’s visit from Taunton, DiGiorgio’s impact was on full display. She knocked down six threes (two each in the first and second quarters and one each in the third and fourth) and scored a game-high 18 points to power Franklin to a 56-38 victory over a fellow Kelley-Rex division title contender.

Franklin coach John Leighton said, “Just the ability to play, no matter how it goes, with all the work that she’s put in and all the fear and the doubt and all that, it’s just so rewarding. I knew Lauryn was due for a night like this because she’s just a pure shooter. It’s one of the purest shots we’ve had in the program but we’ve missed it for a couple years.”
Continue reading the game recap -> 




Boys Swimming = Franklin, 80 @ Milford, 89 – Final

A trio of Panthers were double winners with Zach Pecora (200 free, 100 back), Brendan Collins (200 IM, 500 free), and Owen Chandaria (100 fly, 100 breaststroke) each winning two events.

With Summer Around The Corner, Water Safety Should Be Top of Mind

May is National Water Safety Month. When the weather starts to get warmer, the pools, lakes, oceans, rivers and other bodies of water start calling! While swimming can be a very enjoyable activity this summer, it is important to remind all parents and caregivers of the importance of water safety. We are sharing these tips on how children can stay safe in and around water.

Hockomock Y
Hockomock Y

Tip #1: Make sure children know to always ask permission before going in or near the water.
Teaching your children to be water smart is the first step in water safety – be sure they understand the importance of asking permission before going in or near the water. 

Tip #2: Never swim alone without a water watcher.
When children swim, ensure they are actively supervised at all times. Teach your children that they should only swim in locations where a lifeguard is on duty, or where a responsible adult agrees to watch the children in the water without distractions.

Tip #3: Supervise your children whenever they’re in or near water.
Whether it’s bath time or taking a dip in a pool or waterfront, make sure your children are within arm’s reach at all times.

Tip #4: Don’t engage in breath-holding activities.
Children should not hold their breath for a prolonged amount of time while swimming, as this can be dangerous.

Tip #5: Wear a life jacket.
Inexperienced or non-swimmers should always wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket while in or around the water.

Tip #6: Don’t jump in the water to save a friend who is struggling in deep water.
If a child finds their friend in deep water unexpectedly, their natural reaction may be to jump in the water to try and save them. Even if a child is a great swimmer, a panicked person will overpower them, pulling the rescuer under water. The Y’s Safety Around Water program teaches the “reach, throw, don’t go” concept of using a long object to reach for them, and pull them to safety. By using this technique, children can help their friend without compromising their own safety.

Tip # 7: Use four-sided fencing with self-closing, self-latching gates, pool covers, and alarm systems to help prevent children from accessing water unsupervised. 
Water safety isn’t just during swim time. Know the five layers of protection which include: barriers & alarms, supervision, water competency, life jackets and emergency preparation. You never know which layer will save a life.

Tip #8: Prepare for emergencies by making sure everyone in your home takes water safety, first aid and CPR Courses. 
Training in lifesaving skills such as lifeguarding and CPR presents opportunities for us all to take greater responsibility for ourselves and others. The Hockomock Area YMCA offers lifeguard and CPR training programs with full certification. We also babysitting courses and first aid training. The Hockomock Y is offering lifeguard certification courses in June at their branches in Foxboro and Franklin. Visit www.hockymca.org and select Register for Programs.   

All of our water safety tips are located on the Y’s website: www.hockymca.org/water-safety-tips/

As a leading nonprofit committed to youth development, the Y has been a leader in providing swim lessons and water safety for more than 100 years. The Y continues to help youth and adults experience the joy and benefits of swimming, so they can be healthy, confident and secure in the water. There are a variety of programs to choose from, including swim lessons for all ages, water fitness classes, competitive swimming, and family swim times. To ensure that everyone has an opportunity to participate, financial assistance is available to those in need to help cover costs. 

The Hockomock Y is enrolling swim lessons starting May 13th for Summer! To learn more, visit: https://www.hockymca.org/summer-classes/

In addition to learning lifesaving water safety skills, children can increase their physical activity by swimming. Swimming also motivates children to strive for self-improvement, teaches goal orientation, and cultivates a positive mental attitude and high self-esteem. It also teaches life lessons of sport and sportsmanship, so that children can learn how to work well with teammates and coaches and how to deal with winning and losing.

The very next shift a turnover leads to a Mansfield goal by Vokey game tied at 1-1. With 2.44 to go in the first Wernig draws a tripping penalty putting Franklin on the PP. And with 2:31 Marchand starts it behind the net & moves it to Paterson who's streaking down the right side into the zone hits McEvoy in the slot who snaps off a quick shot leaving the puck on the doorstep when Paterson follows the shot and hammers it home. The period would end 2-1
boys look sluggish in the 1st period. O'Connor gets the nod in between the pipes and sees 6 shots. 
2nd Period Recap: Shots - Franklin (IO) Mansfield (5)
At 13:01 Harrington & Toli combine to break up the Mansfield rush, Harrington recovers the puck on the wall & hits Daley who slides it to Balducci coming into the left side if the zone & hits Daley in the slot who drops it to Wernig for the snip - beautiful passing sequence. At 11:44 Marchand unloads one from the blue
line knocking the goalie back, Hager clears 2 guys out in front of the net where Langevin pokes it homes for making it 4-1 Franklin. At 10:36 franklin takes a hooking call, .23 seconds later Franklin takes a boarding call making it a 5v3 & .11 seconds into the PK Mansfield's #18 Gormley finds #11 Tourigney making it 4-2.
Franklin kills the rest of the penalty. At the 6:05 mark McEvoy gathers the puck behind the net & hits Toli on the point & snaps a quick shot off leaving a juicy rebound for Paterson to punch home! Period would end 5 —2 Franklin. O'Connor serves up the donut on a quiet 5 shots period. 
3d Period Recap: Shots - Franklin (13) Mansfield (11)
Franklin immediately goes on the PP with seconds into the period & w/ .19 seconds left on the PP Lampasona pumps a shot just above the dot that leaves a juicy rebound where Daley slides it to McEvoy & punches the ticket making it 6-2 Franklin. With 10:15 to go Toli finds Paterson at the blue line who slides it
to McEvoy who splits 2 defenders and beats the goal blocker side for the goal making it 7-2 Franklin. At 8:01 Mansfield gets one back when Vokey finds the net. With 5:09 to go Franklin takes a hooking and then a cross checking penalty put Mansfield on the 2-man advantage. A minute later Mansfield's Gormley put
one home from the point & .12 seconds later Mansfield's Gerr gets 2 chances to put it home and deliver on the second making it 7-5 Franklin with 4 minutes to go. The game would end 7-5, boys were sloppy tonight & undisciplined penalties kept Mansfield in it till the end but managed a victory. O'Connor gets the dub.
