Boston Globe: Fall 2023 All-Scholastics recognizes FHS' Crandall, Carney, Cinelli, O'Connor, Lacerda

Field Hockey -> Athletes of the Year - Raena Crandall - DIVISION 1: FRANKLIN | JUNIOR

The Hockomock All-Star led Franklin to a 20-1-1 record with a league-leading 33 goals. She was second in points with 50. Last year, Crandall played in the 2023 Nexus Regional Selection Camp. The 2024 captain has 77 career points.

Field Hockey -> All-scholastics - Emily Carney - FRANKLIN | JUNIOR

The Fairfield commit is on USA Field Hockey’s radar and for good reason. She was part of the fearsome Franklin lineup, recording 29 goals and 19 assists, and was named a Hockomock League All-Star for a second year.

Boys Soccer -> All-scholastics - Rex Cinelli - FRANKLIN | SENIOR

The speedy defender was an All-New England selection after guiding Franklin to an undefeated regular season, a Hockomock League title, and a trip to the Division 1 quarterfinals. The four-year starter scored six goals and was the Hockomock MVP.

Girls Soccer -> All-scholastics - Kelly O'Connor - FRANKLIN | JUNIOR

Second in the Hockomock League in scoring with a team-leading 26 goals and 14 assists, the All-State selection showcased tremendous skill along the left side for the Panthers (18-3-0). O’Connor is committed to play soccer at Fairfield University.

Volleyball -> All-scholastics - Taylor Lacerda - FRANKLIN | SENIOR

It took multiple five-setters, but the senior and two-year captain came up clutch and led the Panthers to the Division 1 semifinals. The returning Globe All-Scholastic hitter compiled 240 kills, 303 digs, and 42 aces on the season.

The playoff runs for both the FHS field hockey and volleyball teams ended on Wednesday

Via Twitter and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the fall sports playoff competition for Franklin High School on Wednesday, Nov 15, 2023.


Field Hockey - Division 1 Final Four = #4 Franklin, 2 vs. #1 Walpole, 4  (@ Taunton)
"Final: Walpole 4, Franklin 2, Porkers pick up the win and return to the state title game, Panthers suffer only loss of the season in the state semifinal"

Josh Perry, Managing Editor of HockomockSports.com, provides the game recap

"Franklin seemed confident in the build up to Wednesday night’s Div. 1 state semifinal at Taunton’s Aleixo Tiger Stadium. The Panthers had rolled through their first three playoff opponents, outscoring them 14-0. Everything appeared to be lined up for the Final Four game against Walpole to be a classic.

But, there is always a difference between preparing to face the top seeded Porkers and actually putting the plan in motion once you get on the field with them.

It took a little over a quarter for Franklin to start playing its typical game and by then the Panthers trailed by two goals. While the Kelley-Rex division champions had long stretches where they had Walpole on its heels, the Porkers took advantage of their corners and strong goalkeeping to pull out a 4-2 win and advance to yet another D1 final.

“They were nervous and uptight,” admitted Franklin coach Michelle Hess. “They were so tight in the first quarter and in between I was like, listen, you need to settle in. I tried to send them the message, yeah we’re playing Walpole but it’s just another game on our schedule. Them scoring that first goal kind of set the tone and made us think, uh oh here we go.”

FHS volleyball wins first playoff game vs. Wachusett to advance

Via Twitter and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the fall sports playoff competition for Franklin High School on Thursday, Nov 2, 2023. 

Volleyball = Division 1 = #23 Wachusett, 0 @ #10 Franklin, 3 - Final
Ryan Lanigan, founder and Editor-in-Chief of HockomockSports.com, provides the game recap:
"Franklin’s season hit a big speed bump at the midway point, but the Panthers are now peaking at the right time.

Through its first eight matches, the Panthers hadn’t dropped a single set. Then came the loss of starting libero Leah Cooke to a season-ending injury as well as back-to-back losses to Canton and Attleboro. A tight five-set win over Mansfield righted the ship, and now Franklin is streaking.

The Panthers, the 10th seed in the MIAA Division 1 tournament, made it nine wins in a row with a convincing sweep of #23 Wachusett (25-12, 25-12, 25-12) to book a spot in the Round of 16.

“A big part of having to kind of restart understanding the idea that we could lose because up to that point, we hadn’t lost a set,” said Franklin head coach Sam Redmond. “We had to figure out how to fight for each set and make sure that we were working hard all the time. We’ve really been practicing focusing on point by point, siding out when we need to, and not letting the other team get a lot of rallies."

FHS girls soccer, volleyball, and field hockey teams post wins vs. Attleboro on Monday

Via Twitter and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the fall sports competition for Franklin High School on Monday, Oct 23, 2023. 


Boys Soccer = Attleboro, 1 @ Franklin, 1 – Final
Ryan Lanigan, founder and Editor-in-Chief of HockomockSports.com, provides the game recap:
"The postseason doesn’t begin until late next week, but the Attleboro and Franklin boys soccer teams provided a preview of what’s to come on Monday night.

The Bombardiers became the first team to take a lead on the Panthers this season on a goal in the 45th minute from sophomore Corvengdjimy Thomas but the hosts rallied for the equalizer in the 59th minute off of the foot of senior Gustavo Martinez to earn a draw 1-1 draw.

With the result, Franklin stays one point ahead of Attleboro in the Kelley-Rex division with one game left apiece.

“I was very happy with them,” said Franklin head coach Fran Bositis. “That was the first time we’ve really faced that kind of adversity and they responded in a good way. I don’t like to tie, no one likes to tie, but we still control our own destiny. The best thing about tonight was that they found a way to come back, which is a good sign.”
Continue reading the game recap  (subscription required):


Girls Soccer = Franklin, 4 @ Attleboro, 0 – Final
– Franklin took a while to get things going offensively but Kelly O’Connor recorded a hat trick and the Panthers pulled out a win that keeps them tied with King Philip atop the Kelley-Rex division. Ava Workman added the fourth for Franklin, while Ava Villella (two) and Maddie Horton recorded assists.

Field Hockey = Franklin, 7 @ Attleboro, 0 – Final
– Haley Wernig netted a hat trick while Chloe Essam scored a pair to help Franklin get a win on the road and clinch the Kelley-Rex division title outright. Essam scored Franklin’s two goals in the second while Emily Carney had one in the opening quarter to give the Panthers a 3-0 lead at halftime. Wernig scored once in the third and twice in the fourth while Raena Crandall added one in the third to push the final to 7-0. Devon Barry and Chloe Strassner (three saves) combined for the shutout.


Volleyball = Franklin, 3 @ Attleboro, 2 – Final
Josh Perry, Managing Editor of HockomockSports.com, provides the game recap
"While Franklin was in position to win a sixth straight league title whether the Panthers won at Attleboro on Monday night or not, but beating the Bombardiers would seal the outright Kelley-Rex crown. It would be only the second time in this six-year run that Franklin sat alone atop the league standings and the Panthers weren’t in the mood to share that spot.

Trailing Attleboro 2-1, with the Bombardiers on the verge of a season sweep and a share of the league title, Franklin found another gear. The Panthers held off the Bombardiers in the fourth set and carried the momentum into the fifth, jumping out a 10-0 lead and winning the decisive set in decisive fashion, 15-2, capping off a 3-2 (25-22, 24-26, 22-25, 25-20, 15-2) victory.

“We talked a lot about how sets one, two, and three weren’t the volleyball that we can play,” Franklin coach Samantha Redmond said. “It was trying to manage emotions, work together, and play like we can play. It took until the fourth set to play Franklin volleyball again.”

Senior hitter Taylor Lacerda added, “Especially since we lost at home, we definitely wanted to come out strong. We knew they’d have a pretty big fanbase coming here. We wanted to show them who Franklin is and come out super strong.”

FHS field hockey, volleyball, and golf teams post wins on Monday

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


Field Hockey = King Philip, 0 @ Franklin, 3 – Final
Ryan Lanigan, founder and Editor-in-Chief of HockomockSports.com provides the game recap: 
"Two weeks ago, Franklin emerged from a hard-fought battle against Foxboro with a win, but head coach Michelle Hess admitted her squad was a bit nervous before the contest. 
Fast forward nearly two weeks and Franklin has now boosted its résumé on top of the win over Foxboro: a victory on the road at Concord-Carlisle, a shutout over perennial league power Canton last week, and the latest addition a 3-0 win over Kelley-Rex division rival King Philip on Monday afternoon.

It’s safe to say the Panthers are now ready to play in the big games.

“I think this stretch has helped us learn to play in these types of games,” Hess said. “As a coach, you’re always waiting for that ‘aha!’ moment where everyone comes together and says we got this. Their confidence in each other has really grown lately. Staying positive has been a big focus of ours this year, and they’ve really bought into it. We’re at that moment now and everyone is gelling, all the way from the front to the back, everyone is on the same page."

WE ARE ON FIRE!! HUGE 3-0 WIN vs a fast & skilled KP Team!! Haley Wernig scored 2 incredible goals & Brooke Taylor added a nice deflection for our 3rd goal of the game! Addi Weiss, Haley Wernig & Raena Crandall had the assists. (1/3)

Our defensive unit played amazing again today & Devon Barry had a career high 12 saves to help preserve the shut out!! Our Defensive corner unit (Sophia Cuneo, Lindsay Dennett, Maddie O’Brien & Ella Griffin) turned them away on 8 corners!! (2/3)

Lindsay Dennett had 2 AMAZING defensive saves & Maddie O’Brien & Ella Griffin each also had an incredible defensive save! I am so proud of this total team effort!! These girls are just amazing! They work so hard from the front line all the way back to the last line of defense!

Volleyball = King Philip, 1 @ Franklin, 3 – Final
Josh Perry, Managing Editor of HockomockSports.com provides the game recap: 
"After failing to close out late leads in each of the first two sets of Monday night’s showdown of defending league champs, King Philip was finally able to hold off Franklin in the third to stay alive in the match. Ryann O’Sullivan rose up and smashed the final point and the visitors had a little momentum on their side. 
Sometimes, a team taking the third set can carry that energy over and suddenly the teams are in the fifth and a match that seemed in control could go either way. That wasn’t how it played out on Monday.

Franklin jumped out to an early lead in the fourth and, while KP would get as close as two points at 10-8, pulled away to win the set comfortably, 25-16. With the 3-1 (25-20, 25-23, 23-25, 25-16) win, the Panthers swept the season series with KP and remained tied with Attleboro atop the Kelley-Rex division.

“We’ve been really trying to work on not acting like we’ve won after set two,” Franklin coach Samantha Redmond explained. “All year our third sets have been our lowest, so it’s a lot of refocusing. KP is a great team, but we made a lot of errors, so just minimize that and everything hopefully will go okay.”
