FHS Panthers |
"In 2019, the Franklin boys’ lacrosse team matched the deepest postseason run in program history.
The Panthers were eliminated, 8-7, by Duxbury in the Division 1 South semifinals, but coach Lou Verrochi maintained an optimistic outlook for the following spring.
“Every one of them couldn’t wait for [2020]. They had their taste,” Verrochi recalled. “They were such a good group coming back and we had some really good freshmen coming in.”
Then, the coronavirus pandemic hit, wiping out a season full of promise before it even began."

HockomockSports.com has published the softball players to watch for the Hockomock League for the Spring 2021 season. The FHS student athlete is shared here. The link to the complete league softball listing is provided below.
Gabby Colace, Senior – Franklin
Colace is one of only two players remaining from the 2019 team that nearly snagged the Kelley-Rex title, finishing one game behind Taunton. A strong defensive second baseman, Colace is also a spark plug at the top of the lineup for the Panthers, able to work counts, get on base, and then put pressure on the defense with her speed on the basepaths. The Johnson & Wales University-commit has the eye-hand coordination and reflexes you’d expect from a goaltender and she puts them to good use on the softball field as well. Her experience will be a necessity for Franklin to make another push up the league standings.

"THE SENATE WAYS and Means Committee on Tuesday released a $47.6 billion budget proposal for fiscal 2022, a $1.2 billion increase over the current year’s budget that reflects the anticipated need for additional social services as Massachusetts emerges from the pandemic.
“If the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic aftershocks have frayed the fabric of our Commonwealth, this budget takes on the important but sometimes invisible work of stitching that fabric back together,” Senate President Karen Spilka said at a virtual briefing with reporters. "
"Massachusetts Senate leaders on Tuesday unveiled the contours of a $47.6 billion budget proposal that would boost spending by $1.2 billion over the current year and funnel hundreds of millions of more dollars to local schools, without any broad-based tax increases.
The chamber will debate changes to the bill on May 25, after which Senate and House leaders will have to reconcile differences between their proposals before sending a final product to Governor Charlie Baker for the fiscal year starting July 1."
