In the News: lacrosse world cup

High School Notebook: Lax star Igoe won't relax

by Dan Cagen/Daily News staff

Former Framingham All-American Kristin Igoe has been an assistant coach with the Mass Mavericks girls lacrosse club team since last year. Over the summer, she was hired as Franklin’s coach for the upcoming season. And, oh yes, she made the U.S. team for this summer’s World Cup on Tuesday.

"the start of a good Hockomock League rivalry"

Milford joined the Hockomock League and played Franklin in basketball on Friday night.

Milford and Franklin have a long history as football rivals. Alas, no longer: Milford’s departure from the Mid-Wach League means the teams will never again stare down one another on the gridiron. 

"We won’t be playing each other in football, so hopefully this rivalry can continue," said FHS Athletic Director Brad Sidwell. 

Milford High Athletic Director Rich Piergustavo said a league basketball showdown between the two is "long overdue." 

"They have great programs, as do we, and we look forward to competing with them in more than just football," Piergustavo said.
