"Friday night’s contest between rivals Mansfield and Franklin wasn’t the exact same as their first meeting back in January, but the symmetry was apparent. 

Just like January’s game, the home team erased a second half double-digit deficit to make it a one possession in the final minutes. 

But just like the first time around, the visitors walked away with the win. 

Mansfield held off a late rally from the Panthers, keeping Franklin scoreless over the final final minutes, in route to a 55-51 win that pulled the Hornets level atop the Kelley-Rex division with just one league game to go."

In the News: voc ed sees increased funding, Art Assoc to meet Mar 2

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin

"Gov. Charlie Baker’s recently announced plan to increase funding to career vocational technical education has local vocational schools appreciative and excited about the opportunities it may provide them. 

The proposed series of initiatives to increase vocational school funding by $83.5 million over the next several years would benefit local schools such as Blackstone Valley Regional Vocational Technical High School in Upton, Tri-County Vocational Technical High School in Franklin and Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School in Marlborough by providing grant opportunities for equipment and learning experiences. 

"With too many good-paying jobs going unfilled, we are pleased to announce this critical investment in our career and technical schools," Baker said in a press release. "Our proposal will make it possible for more students to explore a pathway to success through stronger partnerships with our schools and local businesses in the Commonwealth."
