FHS boys hockey team posts win vs Hingham 4-2 on Wednesday

Via HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the FHS winter sports action on Wednesday:

Boys Hockey = Franklin, 4 vs. Hingham, 2 – Final

– Franklin saw its two-goal lead disappear in less than three minutes but the Panthers had an immediate response and secured one of their best wins of the season over one of the state’s top teams in Hingham. The Panthers had a dream start when Adam Quinn (from Ben Jarosz and Liam O’Reilly) scored just 14 seconds into the contest for a 1-0 lead. Dom Lampasona netted an unassisted goal with just over three minutes left in the first for a 2-0 lead at the first intermission. Midway through the second, Hingham scored a pair of goals in 2:31 but Franklin’s Anthony Lampasona (from Quinn) put Franklin back ahead just 27 seconds later. Lampasona (from Logan Marchand) netted his second of the game with 3:20 left to secure the win. Sophomore Cole Pouliot-Porter had a strong game between the pipes with 34 saves against the Harbormen.

Girls Hockey = Franklin, 0 @ Westwood, 5 – Final

Wrestling = Taunton, 37 @ Franklin, 27 – Final

Acronyms and abbreviations can be challenging to make sense of. In a digital and social media world, we also need to deal with emojis. Emojis are those little images some folks add to their posts. Other than some obvious happy faces, what do they mean?

The SAFE Coalition P2P group shared this depicting which emojis can be code for drug use.
