KP comes back to top FHS volleyball 3-2

Jaron May, HockomockSports.com Student Reporter, provides the details on the come from behind win by KP over FHS in volleyball.

"Despite dropping the first two sets, King Philip battled back and to win the next three to clinch the game and add another tally to the win column. 

The Panthers pounced on the Warriors early on. In the first set, Franklin went on run after run, only being stopped periodically by KP for a point or two. In the blink of an eye, the Panthers got out to a quick 3-0 start and never looked back. 

Franklin extended their lead to 13-6 in the next few points, thanks to some great serving by Riley Marino and Erin Skidmore. KP pulled to within three at the 15-12 mark, but Franklin was able to pull even further ahead. The Panthers finished up the set with a pair of aces from Marino and a kill from Skidmore for a final score of 25-18."

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

"Two local churches will be looking to carry on an annual tradition this Saturday, when they host a harvest festival on the Town Common. 

The First Baptist Church of Bellingham and the Bellingham Bible Baptist Church will be holding their "Harvest Fest" starting at 11 a.m. and running to 3 p.m.
Pastor Baron Rodrigues of the First Baptist Church said the event dates back to around 2012.
