It was cold outside, but Franklin was red hot on both ends of the floor, rolling to a 83-46 win over Sharon.
Senior Markus Bohmiller scored a career-high 28 points, with 22 coming in the first half, as the Panthers built a 25-8 lead after the first quarter and never looked back.
“First quarters have been tough for us to be honest,” Franklin head coach CJ Neely said. “It’s something we’ve talked about coming out and doing well. I thought we did a great job defensively, getting in their business and setting the tone right from the beginning. We’ve been playing well in the other quarters but we can’t wait around, we have to get it going early.”

A wild, wooded property on Pond Street is bare, save for remnants of a wastewater plant.
Some town councilors hope years from now, the scene changes, perhaps to a bustling development with a hotel and an office. They also want the revenue that would follow.
Members of the council's Economic Development Committee on Tuesday discussed details of a request for proposals (RFP) for the 33-acre parcel. The committee is considering placing stipulations in the RFP that would limit the kind of developments allowed there.Continue reading the full article here: http://www.milforddailynews.com/article/20150204/NEWS/150208919/1994/NEWS#sthash.CQAlqzxP.dpuf
Hello
Classes will resume on Wednesday February 4th as scheduled. Emergency transportation will be available for students that typically walk to school (not students who are typically driven to school).
Please contact your child's school to discuss your arrival/dismissal plan. We need to obtain written permission of a parent/guardian to let children ride the bus. Please contact the administration of each school to discuss your plan. As sidewalks are not plowed this service will be in place for the remainder of the week.
School parking lots and walkways are plowed however; due to cold temperatures the surface is slippery so please take appropriate precautions.
For FHS students who drive to school please allow extra time as roads are narrow and speeds should be reduced. There are massive snow piles at intersections so when making a turn use caution and reduce speed. We need to be vigilant as to avoid walkers, runners and other cars.
Parking at FHS will be limited as the snow piles have reduced the available parking spaces. Carpooling is recommended.
Thank you to the staff and administration of DPW and Facilities- these individuals worked 24/7 to maintain the roads and make sure the community was safe. Often their dedication and commitment goes unnoticed but their efforts are appreciated.
As we anticipate more snow before we see the tulips we appreciate your collaboration and assistance as we negotiate this winter.
For your information: With these two additional snow days the last day of school is now June 25th - this leaves 3 days for additional snow closures before looking at reducing vacation periods. If we need to use vacation time it will be the April vacation.

Area residents voiced concern over the amount of condos or apartments that the town would allow a developer to build.
Up to 14 units are permitted now, and Bissanti admitted he does not see that number changing.
"I just don’t want the guts torn out of the RFP," he said. "That may happen if we play around too much with the density limits."
He and other town officials hope this will be the last time they'll need to put out a Pond Street RFP. They are encouraging residents to attend Tuesday's meeting and upcoming meetings with the Planning Board and council to pitch possible traffic improvements to busy Pond Street, such as lights or islands.Continue reading the article in the Milford Daily News: http://www.milforddailynews.com/article/20150203/NEWS/150209365/1994/NEWS#sthash.i88hBBXX.dpuf
