Boys Soccer = King Philip, 2 @ Franklin, 4 – Final
– King Philip pulled within a goal twice in the second half but Franklin was able to stay ahead, putting the game away with a goal in the 73rd minute. Senior Sean O’Leary converted a low header off a corner from Noah Cain to open the scoring, giving the Panthers the lead in the 29th minute. The lead doubled less than two minutes later when Wyatt Herndon won a battle near the end line and was credited with a goal after his cross was deflected off a KP player. The Warriors got within one in the 46th minute after good pressure from Jack Morgan resulted in an interception for sophomore Marco Amorim, and he quickly played Tommy Lomuscio in on goal and the senior buried a right-footed shot past the keeper. Franklin added to its lead in the 59th minute when junior Garrett Scagliarini sent a looping cross into the area to an open Brad Morin and he converted from in close. KP pulled close again in the 66th minute as Evan Barker found a gap in the defense with a through ball to Will Bowen and he finished to make it 3-2. Franklin put the game away just minutes later as Scagliarini’s pass found its way behind the defense and Herndon ran onto it and got enough of it to get past the keeper.
