FINAL Franklin 129.85 vs Taunton's 136.6 

Franklin was defeated by a strong poised Taunton team this morning, always a great time competing against  them! I am proud of my team who progressed AGAIN from our meet against OA and up 2 more points. Our team continues to work things out give more of themselves, we are our own competition and we move the needle every meet. So many wins for us today! We haven't been a fully strong or healthy team since day one and watching these girls step up in ways they never thought they would have to, has been so amazing to watch. Progress is the name of the game for us and that is what we are focused on and having a blast doing it! I typically only highlight top 4's but there are so many deserving shout outs!!

FHS Gymnastics makes progress

Huge shout out to Bella Jacoby up .2 from last meet and NO FALLS! 7.5, Lilly Cardin put her flight back in and she landed beautifully and I'm so proud of her for going for it again! Teammate Ciara O'Brien debuted and did her job for her team with an 8.1, Abby R up .3 from last meet with an 8.25, Ryann Chandler rounding it out with a 8.35 and Molly C continues to be steady and land every skill with an 8.4 all scores that counted zero falls! 

FLOOR - is where we really shinned today! Kicking it off Molly D'Amato putting down her strongest floor routine and improving by .9 from last meet just shy of 8.0 (7.9) so proud of the work she put in!! Abby S still improving and up .3 for a 8.3 Molly C jumping up a full point to an 8.4,  Ryann C continues to work on her routine and put down a solid 8.4, Abby R up .6 for an 8.8 and Kendra up another .2 for an 8.8.

Major improvements they work hard, results are showing from their efforts they support each other and have each other's backs. Love this team!!

History Photographed: "This too shall pass"

History Photographed (@HistoryInPics) posted Sun, Dec 31, 2023:
"For a quick moment, imagine you were born in 1900. When you are 14, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday with 22 million people killed. Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until you are 20. Fifty million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million. When you're 29, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, global GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 33. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy. When you turn 39, World War II starts. You aren’t even over the hill yet. When you're 41, the United States is fully pulled into WWII. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war and the Holocaust kills six million. At 52, the Korean War starts and five million perish. At 64 the Vietnam War begins, and it doesn’t end for many years. Four million people die in that conflict. Approaching your 62nd birthday you have the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, could well have ended. Great leaders prevented that from happening. As you turn 75, the Vietnam War finally ends. Think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How do you survive all of that? A child in 1985 didn’t think their 85 year old grandparent understood how hard school was. Yet those grandparents survived through everything listed above. Perspective is an amazing thing. With so much happening right now and as 2023 ends, let's try to keep things in perspective, knowing that we will get through all of this. In the history of the world, there has never been a storm that lasted forever.  
This too shall pass."

FHS boys hockey tops Falmouth on Saturday

Via Twitter and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the fall sports competition for Franklin High School on Saturday, Dec 16, 2023. 

** Boys Hockey = Franklin, 3 vs. Falmouth, 1 – Final
HockomockSports.com photo gallery -> (subscription required)

Recap via @FHSPantherHocke ->

Game #2 Results: #10 Franklin (3) Falmouth (1) 
(Shots Franklin 40 Falmouth 18)

1st period Recap:
Boys jump right out of the gate McEvoy, Balducci & Daley make a quick rush on the goalie but #35 makes a clutch save, on transition Falmouth gets a breakaway and beats Wagner to break the ice. As play ensued there was heavy forecheck by Lampasona, Paterson & Quinn and strong blueline play by Smith and Toli to hem Falmouth into the zone. Hard play follows with Hager, Langevin and C. Taccini. After 3 minutes of heavy ice tilt, Marchand and Smith double up with a big hit & breakout pass to Balducci who hits Daley in stride and finds McEvoy on the far side off to the races for the 5-hole goal! Big blue line stands by Arienti and Harrington throughout the period derails several rushes for Falmouth. #35 Falmouth's goalkeeper came up huge in the first savings 14 shots & kept things tight. Wagner solid first period.
2nd Period Recap:
It's an all-out rush on Falmouth's goal from the drop of the puck after the break, #35 is standing strong & doing all he can from this one being broken wide open. ISt power play comes about the 13-minute mark & #35 comes up big again. At 10:35 Lampasona makes a rush putting a shot on net that's deflected into the corner where Paterson gathers the puck & snaps a laser from the goal line that finds it way into the back of the net putting Franklin up I.C. Taccini, Langevin & Hager putting in some great shifts, only a matter of time till the chip one home. And w/ 6:46 to go in the 2nd Langevin wins an Ozone faceoff back to Matt Toli who snipes one from the point!! (ISt varsity GOAL!!!) putting Franklin up 2. McAlphine, Lewandowski & Carosi digging deep with a string forecheck & making a couple nice rushes. The defense continues to play strong, Marchand & Toli delivering some big hits while Arienti, Harrington & Smith hold the line. Franklin closes out the period with another 15 shots & out shotting Falmouth 30-6. Wagner holds tight & serves up a goose egg to Falmouth.
3rd Period Recap:
Things became very quiet as an injury on the ice that took the tempo of the game way down. Outstanding play by #35 Falmouth goalkeeper really the difference maker in keeping this game tight. #25 Falmouth we hope all is 0k, know you're in our thoughts & prayers!! 
Final Franklin 3 Falmouth 1 Wagner (POG) 
High points: lots of shots, tempo was good, building on team chemistry & experience. Making strides, still need to tighten up play but each game boys getting better. 
Franklin vs Canton: HOME - Wednesday 12/20 puck drops @ 6:00PM!

Worthy reads on School Funding Topics via Tracy Novick

Two pieces from Tracy Novick on school funding that are worth reading. 

In the first, she takes the Boston Globe to task for misrepresenting the issue using a report that doesn't explain where it's numbers are sourced from. https://who-cester.blogspot.com/2023/12/in-which-globe-misses-plot-on-education.html

In the second, she created a thread in Twitter that I captured in one PDF for easier reading. The explanation of a maintenance budget for facilities was timely having just come from the Town of Franklin Finance Committee meeting where they did a "deep dive" on Facilities. As interesting as the meeting was, some of the members were missing, so it seemed overall to be missing the insights a real "deep dive" could have had (my 2 cents).
