The Town Council will hear a proposal for an electronic billboard at a future meeting, though some councilors wondered if that was necessary, given the majority's negative opinion on the project.
The council had been scheduled to hear about the idea at its Wednesday meeting, though the applicant did not show. The matter had been raised at previous meetings of the council's Economic Development Committee.

For many Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical High School students, getting a pass for the school's late bus is a hassle.
For one group of students - Dylan Ross, Micah Perkins, Victoria Rezza, Dylan Lavimodiere, Robert Paige, Eric Bernard and Tyler Mello - it presented an opportunity.
The group's idea - an app that would dramatically streamline the process - was the state winner of the Verizon Innovative App Challenge, and is now vying for a national "fan favorite" award.

Full write up of the wrestling match by Josh Perry, Managing Editor
It seems that every season when North Attleboro and Franklin meet on the mats that a league title is on the line. This year’s meeting took on added significance because this will be the last time (at least until divisional breakdowns are reassessed) that the two programs will be fighting for the league championship.
With North switching to the Davenport next year, the matchup will still pit two of the Hockomock’s top programs but there will not be a trophy on the line.
North Attleboro took the bragging rights and clinched at least a share of the Kelley-Rex title on Wednesday night in the Kenneth Pickering Gym. The Rocketeers got off to a fast start, leading at one point 30-0, and closed out a 42-21 win over the Panthers.Continue reading the article online

Full write up on the boys hockey game Ryan Lanigan, Editor-in-Chief
Franklin scored three goals in the final five minutes of the first period and iced the game with a fourth goal in the first five minutes of the third period to pick up a big 4-1 win over North Attleboro in battle of two of the top teams in the Kelley-Rex division.
Coming off a 1-1 tie against King Philip – a game in which they felt they had let too many scoring opportunities slip away – the Panthers were able to find the back of the net three times in the opening period.
It didn’t come right away despite a great chance less than four minutes in. A mistake from North Attleboro left the puck all alone in front of goal and Franklin senior Alex Bissanti pounced and tried to go backhand but Rocketeer freshman goalie Ryan Warren made the glove save while falling.Continue reading the article online
