In the News: casino regulations, FHS track teams

Gaming commission may tweak regulations

The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) may adjust its protocol and allow host communities to decide on a casino agreement before it finishes vetting the applicants.

Franklin boys, girls sweep Milford on track

The Panther boys and girls squads both got their first wins of the year with clean sweeps of an extremely undermanned Milford squad. Franklin’s boys won their meet 91-44 while the girls’ had a bit more of tough time, coming up with an 86-50 win.

All-State Track: 600 - K Knous

The only other champion from the local area was Franklin’s Kendal Knous, who outkicked Natick’s Laurie Femmel in the final 100 meters to win the 600 in 1:34.04. Knous’ time is the fastest in the state this winter, and fourth-fastest in the country. 

“It feels incredible, I can’t even describe it,” said Knous, who won the event for the third straight year. “Especially because I did so well my sophomore and junior years that I felt like I had something to prove. I wanted to prove that it wasn’t just a mistake. I’ve always relied on my kick and just the adrenaline of the last lap drove me to win.” 

“My goal was to go out fast and try to get Kendal to run my race,” said Femmel, who finished in 1:34.70. “So I’m not disappointed that I came in second. I’m actually thrilled. I give Kendal a lot of credit for passing me at the end.”

Tom Geysen never played varsity sports in high school or college, but that didn't stop him from becoming one of Franklin's top-notch coaches.

The 64-year-old Geysen, who won Hockomock League championships in girls soccer and boys track, also was a high-caliber coach in boys basketball and softball. Retired from education since 2003 after 35 years of teaching English, Geysen continues to direct the Panthers' girls soccer team and the boys track squad.
