Mansfield tops both FHS boys and girls basketball teams on Friday

Via HockomockSports and Twitter we share the results of the FHS sports action on Friday, Feb 9, 2018.

Boys Basketball = Franklin, 47 @ Mansfield, 59 – Final

Girls Basketball = Mansfield, 62 @ Franklin, 48 – Final
Josh Perry, Managing Editor of HockomockSports.com, provides the game recap:

"Mansfield had a lot on the line when it traveled to its biggest rival on Friday night. A win against Franklin would clinch at least a share of a third straight league title for the Hornets, while senior center Meg Hill was only seven points away from reaching 1,000 for her career. 

With a layup off a feed from Mady Bendanillo late in the first quarter, Hill (17 points, nine rebounds) made quick work of her accomplishment, but the Hornets needed to battle to the end to pull out a 62-48 victory that sealed a three-peat of Kelley-Rex titles. 

“We had a chance to come over here to get a share of the title with a 1,000-point scorer, lets get it all done tonight,” said Mansfield coach Mike Redding. “I’m glad it’s over and now we can relax and a win against KP to win it outright takes a little pressure off when we play OA (in the league finale).”

FHS wrestling and girls hockey teams post wins on Thursday

Via HockomockSports and Twitter we share the results of the FHS sports action on Thursday, Feb 8, 2018.


Wrestling = Franklin, 33 @ North Attleboro, 18 – Final


Boys Hockey = Franklin, 1 @ Canton, 4 – Final
Ryan Lanigan, founder and Editor-in-Chief of HockomockSports.com, provides the game recap

"Holding a 2-1 lead with under five minutes to go, the Canton boys hockey team was whistled for too many men on the ice. 

It was just the second penalty of the game for the Dogs, but the visiting Panthers of Franklin High needed just 20 seconds in the second period on their first chance of the man advantage to cash in. 

With the game on the line, Canton’s penalty showed it had learned its lesson from earlier on, coming up with a near perfect kill. The Bulldogs went on to score just over a minute after killing the penalty, and again with the net empty, to earn a 4-1 win in a clash of Davenport and Kelley-Rex division champions. 

“That was a great kill,” said Canton head coach Brian Shuman. “Bubba [McNeice] had a great game with the two goals but he was great on the kill. Jack Goyetch, Johnny [Hagan], Ryan [Nolte]…they all had a big kill. They learned their lesson from the first one around. They played very smart on that second kill, that was a huge part of the game.”

Girls Hockey = Franklin, 1 @ Canton, 0 – Final

Ryan Lanigan, founder and Editor-in-Chief of HockomockSports.com, provides the game recap

"With two of the top defensive units in Canton and Franklin going head to head, goal scoring chances were going to be at a premium. 

Franklin sophomore Jordan Dwyer took advantage of her chance, scoring the only goal of the game a minute into the final period to give the Panthers a 1-0 upset over Canton. 

While Dwyer provided the lone tally of the game, it was Franklin freshman goalie Natalie Stott (35 saves) that put the Panthers in position to get the win. 

“She made the difference,” said Franklin head coach Margie Burke of Stott. “Anytime its a one-goal game, you have to give it to the goalie. She gave us the opportunity to put one puck in the net. And it wasn’t until the third period. If [Canton] gets a couple goals early on, then we don’t even have that chance. She played great.”

In the News: Dunkin moves to paper cups; Census count adjustments for fairness

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin. One has a completion date targeted for 2020, the other regards the Census count in 2020.

"Dunkin’ Donuts coffee is about to undergo a big change. The Massachusetts-based company is saying goodbye to its signature polystyrene foam cups and introducing paper cups. 

It’s another move to modernize the iconic brand. The transition to paper cups will remove nearly 1 billion foam cups from the waste stream annually. 

The plans are to begin eliminating all polystyrene foam cups beginning in spring 2018, with a targeted completion date of 2020. A new, double-walled paper cup will be used instead. The current reclosable lid remains. The company said the paper cup will keep beverages hot while keeping hands cool without the need for a sleeve."

"A change in rules ahead of the 2020 census could prove a boon for Fayetteville and other communities around Fort Bragg. 

Fayetteville and North Carolina leaders have praised the change, which could ensure that the state’s large military population is not counted elsewhere, leading to more federal money and the possibility for an additional seat in Congress. 

The new rules are designed to better count five different populations, such as deployed service members, overseas federal employees who are not U.S. citizens, crews aboard U.S. maritime or merchant vessels, juveniles in treatment centers and residents of religious group quarters. 

A memorandum release by the U.S. Census Bureau on Monday detailed the rule changes and said they were meant to ensure the once-a-decade population count is “fair and consistent.”

Odd Fellows to host Register O'Donnell - Mar 12

Norfolk County Register of Deeds William P. O’Donnell has been invited to speak to the general public as a guest of the Franklin Independent Order of Odd Fellows on Monday, March 12 at 7:00 PM. The meeting will be held at the Franklin Public Library located at 118 Main Street, Franklin.

The short speaking program will touch on the historical nature of the Registry and the Register’s efforts to modernize and computerize the vast number of Norfolk County real estate records. Following his remarks, the Register will be available to answer individual questions. Members of the Register’s staff will also be available to assist in providing information about the Massachusetts Homestead Act. On-site work stations will be available to provide the status of a mortgage discharge, print a copy of your deed or provide a demonstration on how the Registry’s On-Line Land Records Database works.

This is a community outreach initiative sponsored by the Norfolk County Registry of Deeds. It is Register O’Donnell’s goal to provide a convenient way for residents to learn more about how the Registry serves Norfolk County. Although Registry staff cannot provide legal advice, they will be able to answer basic questions, provide general information, take a document for recording and assist in filling out a Declaration of Homestead form.
