Franklin High School - Summer 2017 Strength and Conditioning

Building Better Athletes

Mission:

The mission of the 2017 Summer Strength and Conditioning program is to create and develop a strong work ethic among our student athletes; through proper running mechanics, lifting form and technique athletes will maximize performance on the court, field and ice. Strength and Conditioning will instill and build upon self confidence not only in body but also in mind. Dedication to this program creates a culture of what it means to be a Panther.

High School Strength and Conditioning

Athletics are becoming increasingly competitive at all levels. Athletes who are stronger, run faster, move quicker and jump higher have the competitive advantage over others. The Franklin High School Strength and Conditioning Program will optimize your athletic ability, maximize performance, and reduce the potential risk for injury. The comprehensive summer training program will build self-confidence, increase muscular strength and endurance, enhance explosive power, and improve flexibility, speed and agility.

Every student enrolled in this program is guaranteed to get stronger, faster, & quicker!  All participants will learn proper running mechanics (arm action, first step quickness, foot speed and agility) and be engaged in level appropriate strength training (powerlifting & Olympic lifting).  Every session will include a dynamic warm-up, speed, quickness and agility drills, injury prevention exercises, core training, and flexibility. 

In addition to the general speed and conditioning workouts, athletes will learn how to apply their newfound movability into their sports. A portion of each session will teach the athletes how to apply these techniques on the court, field, or ice.

Middle School Strength and Conditioning (incoming grades 7&8)

Each training session will be devoted to an age appropriate workout that mirrors the High School Strength and Conditioning Program. All participants will learn proper running mechanics (arm action, first step quickness, foot speed and agility) and be engaged in age appropriate strength training & plyometric training.  Every session will include a dynamic warm-up, speed, quickness and agility drills, injury prevention exercises, core training, and flexibility. 

Middle School Fitness and Games (incoming grades 5-7)

The middle school fitness and games program will focus on overall fitness, speed and agility training. The first half of each session will be devoted to an age appropriate workout (a combination of body weight exercises, fitness, core work, flexibility and learning proper running mechanics). The second half of each session will involve team games that require a high level of physical activity that balance fitness and fun.

In the News: sexting bill introduced; cleanups scheduled for Saturday

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

"A local lawmaker has spoken out in favor of a new effort to address the issue of “sexting” - sending sexually explicit photos - among teens. 

State Rep. Jeffrey Roy, D-Franklin, and Franklin Police Sgt. Jason Reilly were part of a ceremony in Tuesday in which Gov. Charlie Baker introduced a bill - An Act Relative to the Harmful Distribution of Sexually Explicit Visual Material - meant to give law enforcement more options to deal with sexting. 

Roy had filed a bill on the issue in 2015 - and put forth another in January of this year - noting that, under the state’s current laws, teens who engage in sexting could be brought up on child pornography charges. 

“When lawmakers wrote the (child pornography) law 20 years ago, they weren’t thinking of teenagers engaging in this behavior,” he said. “Law enforcement officers were put in the terrible position of either charging a kid with a felony or doing nothing.”

"The town will host two cleanups Saturday in an effort to remove litter from from local parks, playgrounds, ball fields and roadsides. 

One cleanup, sponsored by the town’s Conservation Commission, will focus on the DelCarte Conservation Property, while the other, sponsored in part by the Recreation Department and kicking off from Beaver Pond, will send volunteers to various sites around town. Both are scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. 

Recreation Department Director Ryan Jette said his department’s annual Earth Day cleanup starts from the Beaver Pond parking lot, where volunteers are given trash bags and gloves. 

“We have 26 areas around town that need to be cleaned up,” he said.

Both FHS tennis teams and boys lacrosse post wins on Monday

From Hockomock Sports, we share the results of the FHS spring sports action on Monday, April 24.

Baseball = Attleboro, 3 @ Franklin, 1 – Final 

– Attleboro senior Tyler McGovern tossed a complete game, scattering six hits while issuing just one walk to guide the Bombardiers past Franklin. James Weir went 2-for-4 with a run scored and two RBI and made a game-ending diving catch in the outfield for Big Blue. Dylan Maskell brought home the third run on a squeeze play. Franklin’s Jake Noviello also threw a complete game, allowing just two earned runs while striking out six. Ryan Hodgkins went 2-for-2 with a run and two stolen bases while Jason Ulrickson also notched two hits.

Softball = Franklin, 1 @ Attleboro, 5 – Final 

– Attleboro’s McKenzie Bergdoll impressed in the circle and Jordyn Lako played a big role in the offense as the Bombardiers beat Franklin. Bergdoll allowed just two hits in a complete game effort to earn the win. Lako went 3-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI. Attleboro freshman Mishayla Cullhane took over at catcher in the first inning after an injury and head coach Mark Hoemr said “she did a great job for her first game behind the plate.” Homer added Attleboro’s solid play in the infield made a big difference for the Bombardiers.

Boys Lacrosse = Franklin, 18 @ Sharon, 2 – Final 

– Franklin’s offense scored in double figures for the fifth time in the last six games, netting at least 18 for the fourth time in a big win at Sharon.

Nitin Chaudhury added two goals and one assists and Johnny O’Glishen and Jake Davis each found the back of the net twice. FHS coach Lou Verrochi praised Pat Morrison, Wyatt Arsenault and Spencer Briggs for their defensive work in front of goalie Connor O’Rourke (one goal allowed).

Girls Lacrosse = Franklin, 4 @ Notre Dame Academy, 14 – Final 

– Franklin cut the deficit to just three goals early in the second half but the top-ranked team in the state pulled away with a 7-1 run. Kendall Reardon had two goals while Caroline Lounsbury and Erin Walsh each found the back of the net once. Freshman Gianna Cameron made 10 saves in net.

Boys Tennis = Franklin, 5 @ Attleboro, 0 – Final

In singles play, Rahul Herur won 6-3, 6-0 at first singles, Eli Brooks was victorious 6-1, 6-0 at second singles and freshman Rohan Herur notched a 6-0, 6-0 win at third singles.

Girls Tennis = Attleboro, 0 @ Franklin, 5 – Final

"moving to LED would save approximately $70,000 per annum"

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

"Seeking energy efficiency, the town is exploring options to replace its current streetlights with LED versions. 

Deputy Town Administrator Jamie Hellen said this latest effort was prompted by new state incentives for making the switch. 

“The state Department of Energy Resources is offering a 30-percent grant on the labor and materials costs,” he said. “I know the town of Franklin had looked at this in the past, but the return on investment then was still seven or eight years.” 

The DOER money, Hellen said, would change that break-even date, meaning the town would start seeing overall savings in half the time. The entire project is estimated to cost around $600,000, with the town hoping for about $250,000 to offset that - a combination of utility company incentives and the approximately $135,000 state grant."

Tri-County Raises $1,800 for Marathon Runners from Franklin for Dana Farber Research

The Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical High School Cosmetology Program raised $1,800 for 4 Franklin runners who participated in the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge 2017.

Cosmetology Junior Alexandra Ostergren

The third annual Cut-A-Thon and Style-A-Thon was held on Thursday, April 13. Students in the high school and postsecondary Cosmetology programs along with alumni raised funds to support local Franklin runners Bonnie Cameron in her first Boston Marathon; Bonnie’s daughters, Katie and Kerry Cameron, and cousin, Micaela Cameron, all who ran on Team Dana-Farber in the Boston Marathon.

The event began immediately after school, with dozens of students visiting the salon to show their support. Faculty members and members of the community visited the salon throughout the afternoon to have their hair cut or styled in exchange for a $10 donation for adults and a $5 donation for students.

In addition to having their hair cut or styled, attendees purchased raffle tickets for the chance to win generously donated gift baskets. Two of the gift baskets contained Paul Mitchell hair care products from HairLines in Shrewsbury. Other gift baskets were from Summer Scoops in Plainville and Hair Mania in Franklin.

The team of 4 women raised over $24,000.00 overall. All proceeds will go to the Claudia Adams Barr Program in Innovative Cancer Research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Tri-County RVTHS, located at 147 Pond Street in Franklin, is a recipient of the High Schools That Work Gold Achievement Award and serves the communities of Franklin, Medfield, Medway, Millis, Norfolk, North Attleborough, Plainville, Seekonk, Sherborn, Walpole, and Wrentham.

Town of Foxborough Presents Free Narcan Training and Drug Take Back Program

The S.A.F.E. Coalition, in association with SAFE Foxborough, Foxborough Fire Department, Foxborough Police Department and BAMSI (Brockton Area Multi-Services Inc.) will present a Free Narcan Training Session and a Drug Take Back Program on Saturday April 29, 2017 from 10:00 AM – Noon. The public is invited. Reservations are welcome but not necessary.

You can make a difference!

“Foxborough Police, Fire and EMS are collaborating with our community partners in an effort to bring this deadly affliction of opioid abuse under control. This problem requires an open mind and open heart and all the resources we can muster to save lives.”

Foxborough Police Chief William Baker

“We are a community that is always there for our family, friends and neighbors. Overdose deaths caused by heroin and synthetic opioids have reached an all-time high. We need to strive to save those opioid overdoses by administering Narcan and save the life. Foxborough has always been known as a community that never forgets, and we need to always be there for any individual experiencing an opioid-related overdose.”

Foxborough Fire Chief Roger Hatfield

“Generic Narcan (naloxone), an opioid antagonist, is perhaps the one most critical drugs in combatting overdose with heroin, fentanyl and other illicit opioids. Without this drug, untold numbers of lives, far in excess of those already lost, would have not been given the chance to battle Substance Use Disorder. It is critical that ‘Narcan’ become widely available during this prolonged and growing epidemic until we can stem the deaths associated with these opioids.”
