FHS boys lacrosse and girls tennis teams lose on Wednesday
Via HockomockSports.com and Twitter, we share the results of the FHS spring sports action on Wednesday:
Boys Lacrosse = Franklin, 5 @ Medfield, 16 – Final
Consigli: 1G, 1A
Sacchetti: 2G
O'brien: 1A
#GoPanthers https://twitter.com/FranklinHSLax/status/1529615122242715648
Girls tennis = King Philip, 4 @ Franklin, 1 – Final
– King Philip won its second straight match over Franklin to finish the season, leapfrogging the Panthers in the standings to claim its fifth straight Kelley-Rex division title. After dropping a contest to OA in early May, the Warriors rattled off nine straight wins to finish the season to move into the top spot in the division. King Philip, which won by the same score on Monday, finished off a rain-delayed match from last week on Wednesday. Ahunna James picked up where she left off a week ago and earned a straight set (6-2, 6-0) win at first singles while Shea Mellman erased a 4-2 deficit in the first set to win 10 of the next 11 games to secure a 6-4, 6-1 win — the match that clinched the win and the division title for the Warriors. Resha Ajoy and Lauren Casper added a 6-4, 6-4 win at first doules while Priya Riar and Carlie Burns rallied in the third set, overcoming a three-game deficit to prevail 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (5).
FHS GT falls just short in their bid to win Hock with loss to KP today. Sarah Schiavo gets the win in singles.
Still a great season for the Panthers going 11-5 in the Hock while qualifying for playoffs.

CommonWealth Magazine: "House will vote on sexting, revenge porn bill"
"Experts say there has been a growing problem in recent years of teenagers “sexting,” sending explicit pictures of themselves and others via text. For example, a girl might send a naked picture of herself to a boy, who then distributes it to his friends.
But criminal law was not written to address inappropriate behavior by teens. Current law considers this distribution of child pornography, a felony sex crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Prosecutors have said they would like a way to address problematic behavior without forcing a teenager to register as a sex offender.
Rep. Jeffrey Roy, a Franklin Democrat who sponsored in earlier version of the sexting bill, said this came up in Franklin when explicit images were circulated among around 60 high school students. “The police got involved, and under current law the police have only two options when teenagers are distributing these materials. The first option is to do nothing, and the second option is to charge them with felony possession of child pornography,” Roy said. In the end, nobody got charged. “There was frustration on the part of the police saying we want to do something, but we don’t want to charge them with a felony,” Roy said. "

CommonWealth Magazine: "Pricing announced for latest offshore wind farms"
"BAKER ADMINISTRATION officials say the two latest offshore wind procurements are in compliance with the state’s price cap even though their electricity will probably end up costing more.
Under the cap, the price of electricity with each successive procurement must come in lower than the previous one. The cap has become somewhat controversial of late, with those wanting offshore wind companies to spend more on economic development initiatives advocating for elimination of the cap. Gov. Charlie Baker and House leaders are in favor of eliminating the cap, but Senate leaders have expressed reservations about doing that."
