"Another spring and another league title for Franklin, which completed another perfect season in the Hockomock and then carried that success into the playoffs to win a second Div. 1 East title with a dramatic, one-goal victory over Acton-Boxboro. Even though they only return five players, the Panthers enter the season as the favorite in the Kelley-Rex division and with sights set on challenging for a state title.
There is experience coming back for the Panthers with seniors Grace McDermott and Dana Lewandowski coming back to control things on the defensive end, while former Underclassman of the Year Kendall Reardon and fellow senior Caroline Lounsbury will provide leadership in the attack.
Franklin always seems to have players ready to step in and, despite there being a youth movement on the varsity team, the Panthers have already started 2-0 with wins against Needham and Lincoln-Sudbury. Sophomore midfielder Annie Walsh and her freshman sister Erin have both gotten off to strong starts with sophomore Halle Atkinson helping out with a hat trick in the win over L-S as well.
“I am very excited for the 2017 season!” said Igoe Guarino. “Our freshmen and sophomores bring a lot of energy and competitiveness to practice and games, while our juniors and seniors bring the discipline and experience. The two combined could bring us very far again this year!”

"It’s a situation that has become more prevalent in recent years: a driver is cruising along a country road, splitting attention between the other cars and a cell phone.
The SUV ahead slows unexpectedly. The driver sees this too late. There’s a screech as the brakes struggle against the car’s momentum, and a smash as the vehicles collide.
This time the scene took place in a simulator, housed in a trailer in the parking lot of the Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical High School Tuesday morning. The spiderweb pattern on the monitors is an image, not an actual smashed windshield.
The high school this week is playing host to an Arbella Insurance “Distractology” simulator, an effort to educate students on the consequences that distracted driving can entail."
