FHS girls & boys hockey team lose on Saturday

Via Twitter, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Winter sports competition for Franklin High School   on   Saturday, December 13, 2025

Boys Hockey = Franklin, 1 vs. Falmouth, 3 – Final

Girls Hockey = Stoughton/Sharon, 2 @ Franklin, 0 – Final

"Saturday night’s win has been a long time coming for the Stoughton girls hockey program.

The Black Knights got goals from eighth-grader Sophie Kirkwood and junior Sam Meixler while junior goalie Sarah Scappaticci (28 saves) dazzled in goal to backstop the program to its first-ever Hockomock League win, a 2-0 verdict over Franklin.

“On any given night, she’s the best player on the ice, to be honest with you,” said Stoughton/Sharon head coach Chad Kelley about Scappaticci. “We’re so lucky to have her. She’s a junior for us too, so we have her for another year. She makes those big saves every game. She usually sees 50 shots a night — she didn’t tonight — but she’s still amazing. She’ll make saves that will wow you whether it was an NHL game or this.”

Franklin TV: MIAA Students Rule

It’s Our Student of the Month Series

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 12/14/2025

The MIAA & MSAA have an unambiguous mission, “Growing Courageous Leaders.” To that end they have selected their Student(s) of the Month for fall ‘25.

Whatever limits we might assume about this generation all vanish as they describe school life and their aspirations for the future. Their candid conversations with Franklin.TV’s Jay Horrigan and MIAA’s Steve Dubzinsky are lively and peppered with a balance of gravity and hilarity. Our student athletes tell their stories – openly and joyfully in all the best ways – on ‘Winning Ways’ with the MIAA.

And – as always –

Thank you for watching
