FHS baseball, softball, boys and girls lacrosse, and boys tennis post wins on Monday

From Hockomock Sports, we share the results of the FHS spring sports action on Monday, May 8.

Baseball = Franklin, 1 @ Oliver Ames, 0 – Final

A pitcher’s duel broke out at Frothingham Park on Monday afternoon between Franklin’s Jake Noviello and Oliver Ames’ Sam Burr. The difference in the game came in the fourth inning when the Panthers scored the lone run of the game. Jake Lyons’ swinging bunt forced an errant throw to first, allowing the Franklin senior to get to second. Lyons moved to third on a sacrifice bunt from sophomore Alex Haba and came home on a sacrifice fly from Ryan Hodgkins. Josh Macchi had a pair of hits for Franklin. Noviello earned the win, allowing just three hits, walking one and striking out five in a complete game effort. Burr scattered six hits without issuing a walk, striking out three in a complete game performance.

Softball = Oliver Ames, 4 @ Franklin, 8 – Final

Franklin struck for six runs over the first three innings and tacked on two more in the fifth to double up on Oliver Ames. Ally Shea paced the offense, going 4-for-4 with four RBI while Anna Balkus chipped with two hits and two stolen bases. Emily Valentino earned the win for the Panthers, striking out three. For Oliver Ames, Katie Mills had a pair of doubles and two RBI, Sarah Tetrault had a pair of hits with a run scored and Caroline Mahoney went 2-for-4 with an RBI.

Boys Lacrosse = Franklin, 10 @ Oliver Ames, 2 – Final

Sam Arsenault scored a hat trick and Eric Civetti and Chase Tanner each netted a pair in Franklin’s win over Oliver Ames. “OA played very well defensively, we had to work for this win,” said FHS head coach Lou Verrochi. Jonathan O’Glishen and Nitin Chaudhury each chipped in with a goal, Jacob Alexander won 14 of 16 face offs and Connor O’Rourke recorded eight saves in the cage for the Panthers.

Girls Lacrosse = Oliver Ames, 4 @ Franklin, 15 – Final

Annie Walsh registered five points while Erin Walsh, Caroline Lounsbury and Jordan Jette each recorded four points apiece to pace the Panthers past Oliver Ames. Annie Walsh scored four goals and had one assist to go along with Erin Walsh’s four goals, Lounsbury’s three goals and one assist and Jette’s four assists. FHS head coach Kristin Igoe Guarino said Grace McDermott (three draw controls, three ground balls) played well defensively. The Panthers’ offensive burst could have been higher if not for an incredible 27-save performance from OA goalie Ari Waldorf.

Boys Tennis = Oliver Ames, 0 @ Franklin, 5 – Final


Girls Tennis = Franklin, 2 @ Oliver Ames, 3 – Final

After splitting the first four matches, it came down to second doubles between Franklin and Oliver Ames. OA’s team of Olivia Groebe and Kristin Bloumbas prevailed in a three set thrilling, 6-2, 5-7, 6-1 to help the Tigers secure the win. Maura Kiernan (third singles) won 6-4, 6-0 and the team of Tori Wyman and Tate Hadges (first doubles) won 6-0, 6-1 for Oliver Ames’ other two points. Franklin’s Hannah Sweeney won 6-0, 6-0 at first singles and Anja Deric earned a 6-2, 6-1 win at second singles.

In the News: the message is spread; Franklin downtown more friendly

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

"Four years after the Boston Marathon terror attack, Bill Richard continues to share his son’s message of peace and kindness. 

The attack, which took place near the finish line of the race on April 15, 2013, killed three people - including Bill’s son Martin - and injured at least 264. The attack involved two pressure cooker bombs placed on Boylston Street that detonated 12 seconds apart. 

“We were in the wrong place at the wrong time,” Richard said Monday at Horace Mann Middle School. “We lost Martin, people were hurt, and hundreds of people are still dealing with their injuries today.” 

A year after the loss of his eight-year-old son, Richard created the Martin W. Richard Charitable Foundation Inc., to honor and preserve the memory of his son and his message to the world: “No more hurting people. Peace.”

"Change has been a constant in Franklin’s downtown neighborhood, but its place as an active center of town life hasn’t changed. 

The area - largely defined by the triangle formed by Main, Emmons and West Central streets - boasts an MBTA commuter rail station, a museum and the town fire department, as well as a mix of restaurants, retailers and organizations. 

The downtown’s current look is no accident - it’s the product of a continuing effort to make the area more friendly for those who wish to come by and wander. The downtown transformed during a two-year overhaul - a “streetscape” project - that changed the traffic pattern on several streets from one-way to two-way, among other improvements."

Register O'Donnell Reports on April 2017 Norfolk County Real Estate Activity

	Norfolk County Registry of Deeds
	Register O'Donnell Reports on April 2017 Norfolk County Real Estate Activity A mixed bag of results is the best way to describe real estate activity in Norfolk County for the month of April, according to Register of Deeds William P. O'Donnell. April's real estate sales fell by 8% year over year. A total of 1,248 properties were sold in April compared to 1,358 in April 2016. However, total dollar volume of real estate sales, both residential and commercial, came in at $774 million for the month, a whopping 56% increase from the same time period in 2016. "This increase was significantly impacted by a $199 million sale of the Windsor Gardens apartment complex in Norwood," noted O'Donnell. Lending activity decreased during April , in line with expectations. O'Donnell noted, "Just 1,907 mortgages were recorded in April compared to 2,636 in April 2016, a significant decrease of 28%. In addition, the total amount of borrowing for April was $999 million, a 3% reduction from the same time period in 2016. Clearly, consumers are taking into account the recent rise in interest rates when making a decision to purchase a home. Also, the lack of inventory to sell has impacted the numbers." There were also mixed results when it came to April's foreclosure activity. The bad news: the number of foreclosure deeds doubled last month to 32 compared to 16 during the same time period in 2016. Conversely, the number of Notice to Foreclose Mortgage filings, the first step in the foreclosure process, was 48 in contrast to 68 filings in April 2016. This drop off in filings represented a 29% decrease from the previous year. Register O'Donnell stated, "While I am concerned about the number of foreclosure deed recordings, I was heartened by the significant reduction in the number of Notice to Foreclose Mortgage filings. It is my hope that the worst of the foreclosure crisis is behind us." The Registry continues to work with Quincy Community Action Programs, 617-479-8181 x-376, and NeighborWorks Southern Mass, 508-587-0950 to help homeowners who have received a Notice to Foreclose Mortgage document. A third option is to contact the Attorney General's HomeCorps program at 617-573-3333. Norfolk County homeowners continued to take advantage of the consumer protections offered through the Homestead Act. A total of 855 Homesteads were recorded during April. "The Homestead law provides limited protection against the forced sale of an individual's primary residence to satisfy unsecured debt up to $500,000. I strongly urge Norfolk County residents to consider this consumer protection tool," noted O'Donnell. In conclusion Register O'Donnell stated, "While the economy remains on a solid footing in eastern Massachusetts, the continued low housing inventory levels are having a negative effect on Norfolk County's real estate market. Prospective homebuyers, particularly first-time homebuyers, are bidding on a limited number of properties. This results in higher sale prices. With regards to the lending market, I see a continued drop-off in lending activity, based on expected interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve through the 2017 calendar year."

Register O'Donnell Reports on April 2017 Norfolk County Real Estate Activity

"I wanted to be an example of hard work and perseverance for my daughters.

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

"Karen Laven felt stuck in her job and as a mother of two. 

She wanted to be a role model for her two daughters and pursue the dreams she had once set aside to raise a family. 

She wanted to make it up “the mountain,” she said. 

And on Saturday, standing before hundreds of her fellow Dean College graduates and a rain-enduring crowd, the business management student was surely, finally, at the top."
