"In just its sixth season as a varsity program, the Franklin gymnastics team has landed as the top team in the South sectional. The Panthers, who finished their Hockomock schedule undefeated, continued their best season to date by winning the MIAA South Sectional championship on Saturday.
The Panthers took first place out of a dozen teams competing at Algonquin High, scoring 145.175 points. Framingham (143.950) and Bridgewater-Raynham/West Bridgewater (140.100) rounded out the top three while fellow Hock teams Oliver Ames (139.025) finished sixth and Attleboro (135.300) was ninth overall. Franklin’s Emma White had the top all around score, finishing at 38.600 while teammate Kate Rudolph was fourth at 36.875. Oliver Ames’ Katie Babanikas (35.200) and Attleboro’s Caroline DeMarco (35.000) took ninth and 10th, respectively."
"This is perfect.
Absolutely perfect.
No notes.
Precisely satirizes the problem."

2022 Hockomock Winter Season Champions!
Both Varsity & JV programs!
FHS Varsity & JV Cheerleaders = 2022 Hockomock Winter Season Champions |
Josh Perry, Managing Editor of HockomockSports.com, provides a profile of FHS alumni Jake Noviello, now playing baseball for Fairfield University.
"How do you follow up a historic season? Former Franklin star Jake Noviello admits that he gets questioned about it a lot on the Fairfield campus. After winning 39 games last spring, becoming the first MAAC team to earn an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, beating Arizona State, and reaching the program’s first regional final, what do the Stags do for an encore?
“People at school keep asking me are you guys going to be undefeated again and I keep saying probably not,” Noviello, a senior pitcher, said with a laugh, “but I think the best way to try and get back to where we were is to not focus on the big picture but just compete every day at practice. Do everything you can to just win.”
It isn’t just the team success that will be difficult to replicate. Noviello went 9-0 as a starter last season, tying the program record for wins and leading the conference. He was named to the All-MAAC First Team and All-Tournament Team and the ABCA/Rawlings All-Region Second Team. His 1.47 ERA led the MAAC, was fourth-best in the nation, and was the second lowest in program history. He also led the MAAC and was top 10 in the country in WHIP (0.88) and walks per nine innings (1.20)."
