FHS boys lacrosse and wrestling teams post wins on Saturday

From HockomockSports.com and Twitter we share the FHS spring sports results: 

 

Boys Lacrosse = Franklin, 11 @ Longmeadow, 8 – Final 
– Franklin built a 7-3 lead by halftime and held that advantage the rest of the way in a win on the road. Matt Lazzaro (three goals), Luke Davis (three goals) and Jayden Consigli (two goals) each had four points in the win while Owen Kielty chipped in with three assists. Franklin head coach Lou Verrochi praised the play of goalie Jack Maguire and the defensive unit in front of him.

 Nice win against Taunton 49-24. Pins from Owens, Carlucci, O’Leary, Fracassa, Walker.  #bigkahuna @FHSSports  @HockomockSports  via https://twitter.com/FHSWrestle/status/1398661021670182913
