Hockomock Volleyball: Players to Watch - Bonnet-Eymard, FHS

HockomockSports.com Staff has published their preview of the "Hockomock Volleyball: Players to Watch in 2019"

Allyson Bonnet-Eymard, Junior – Franklin

"Franklin had a very senior heavy lineup during the 2018 season and that’s a big reason why the Panthers went undefeated in the regular season and won their first ever sectional title. But they also had a couple of underclassmen step up and Allyson Bonnet-Eymard was one of them.

This year, Bonnet-Eymard is going to see a much bigger role and will likely be the go-to option on offense for a new-look Franklin team. She was third on the team last year with 102 kills, showing off a lot of power for just a sophomore. She’s a versatile player too and could see time in the setter position this year and will also be an important defensive player for Franklin."

Girls Soccer: 2019 Kelley-Rex Division Preview - Franklin

2019 Kelley-Rex Girls Soccer Preview By HockomockSports.com Staff. We share the Franklin summary here. A link to the full listing is below.

2018 Record: 10-3-5
2018 Finish: Reached D1 South First Round
Coach: Tom Geysen

"Franklin lost only three games all of last season and had one of the league’s best defensive records, allowing only 10 goals in 18 games. That solidity in the defensive third will be hard to replicate, as the Panthers graduated three of last year’s back four, but there is also hope that the promising young attackers can take some of the pressure off by improving on the team’s 40 goals scored, which was seventh best in the Hock.

Senior Sabrina Addi is the lone returning defender for the Panthers, but she will get help from senior goalie Breanna Atwood to try and organize an inexperienced defense. Freshman Norah Anderson will jump into the center of the defense and looks ready for the physical challenge of Hock play. Senior Sam Powderly will drop back from midfield to help out as well.

Once the Panthers get the ball back, there are plenty of familiar faces to try and get goals. Senior Anna Balkus can play a number of different positions, including in the heart of midfield, the wing, or in the attack. Sophomore Stella Regan is coming off a breakout rookie season and adds even more pace to the center of the pitch, while senior Carly Alston is a solid performer on both sides of the ball. In the attack, juniors Erin Quaile and Sydney St. Marie are looking to make the leap to add more consistent scoring.

“I know the kids with experience won’t back down,” said Franklin coach Tom Geysen, “but I need to see how the younger kids will react to this level. I need to see if they can physically cope with playing where I need them to play.”
