Boys Hockey = Franklin, 1 @ Taunton, 1 – Final
"Too much of a good thing can quickly become a burden.
That was the case on Saturday afternoon when Taunton spent over nine minutes on the power play in the second period alone and ended up with just one goal to show for it.
Even worse for the Tigers was that Franklin scored in the short time of 5-on-5 play it had in the period.
Both teams had chances in the third period and overtime, but the Tigers and Panthers settled for a point apiece in a 1-1 tie at Aleixo Arena."

"The sounds of winter athletics are timeless, from the thump of a bouncing basketball in a quiet gym, the slice of a skate across ice, the thwack of skin against mat, the whoosh of waxed skis, to the splash of swimmers coming off the blocks.
While the soundtrack is ageless, there’s a new crop of high school athletes filling those gyms, rinks, tracks, pools, and slopes every season. So after crowning 31 state championship teams, it’s time to recognize the top individual athletes with the Boston Globe’s All-Scholastics for Winter 2024-25.
Chosen by a panel of Boston Globe beat writers and editors — with the exception of the prep choices — the 250 All-Scholastics, 39 athletes of the year, and 38 coaches of the year are selected using a combination of statistics, awards, notes, recommendations, and observation. Student-athletes from schools in Eastern Mass. leagues are eligible."

Franklin freshman John Woodall has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for March 2 through March 10. Woodall is the 26th athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2024-25 school year and 12th in the winter season.
Woodall closed out his remarkable, undefeated rookie season by winning Franklin’s first New England title since 2010. The New England title was added to a trophy-laden freshman campaign, which included first-place finishes at the Lowell Holiday Tournament, the Hockomock Championship meet, Div. 1 states, and All-States. Woodall was the first New England champ from the Hock since North Attleboro Mateusz Kudra in 2019. Milford senior Michael Boulanger followed shortly after by winning the New England title at 157.
“Johnny is an extremely hard working kid that with infectious smile his competitiveness really rubbed off on the entire team,” said Franklin head coach Cam Kelly.
"For the first time, three wrestlers from the Hockomock League won an all-state title in wrestling in the same season.
Milford seniors Michael Boulanger and Aidan Baum along with Franklin freshman John Woodall walked out of Methuen High School as MIAA All State champions in their respective brackets with all three wrestlers going 4-0 between the two-day event.
Woodall, who is undefeated so far this season, needed less than two minutes to secure a pin in his first match on Friday and then booked a spot in the semifinals with a second round pin over Hanover’s Conlan Geary. He scored five takedowns in his semifinal match for a 15-2 major decision to earn a spot in the finals. Going head-to-head against Greater Lowell’s Antoine Jackman, Woodall had two escapes on either end of the second period sandwiched around a takedown to jump up 5-2. He finished with a 5-3 decision to win the title. Woodall is Franklin’s first all-state champion in over a decade since Griffin Tighe (195) in 2014."
