The 2018 Franklin boys basketball team has relied on its defense all season long to win game after game.
So it’s only fitting the Panthers came up with a pair of big stops to secure a 58-53 win over Algonquin to clinch the program’s second straight D1 Central Sectional Championship.
Holding a 55-50 lead with 4:21 to go, the Panthers relied on the defensive end to clinch the title. The Tomahawks had the momentum, sandwiching a bucket from Nick Redden (25 points, 11 rebounds) around two defensive stops to get within two.
The Panthers got a turnover but gave the ball back on an offensive foul that negated an and-one opportunity. Once again, Franklin got the stop it needed but the rebound bounced around and out of bounds. Algonquin called a timeout with an inbounds chance under the Franklin basket with 39.3 to go.

I’ve watched his play a handful of times....what a play from Paul Mahon. Definition of a hustle play. Have to feel good for Mahon too after he missed last year’s sectional final. He was terrific tonight. #hockomock pic.twitter.com/tIId34jZ0U— Ryan Lanigan (@R_Lanigan) March 10, 2018

| Franklin Public Schools: Status Update on Our School Buildings' Systems - Mar 9 - 4:15 PM |
"At the Cake Bar also in Franklin, owner Joanne Callahan said a lot of people came in to get work done, since the bakery did not lose power and offers free wireless internet. She said, though, that most of the people seeking refuge or respite came in on Thursday, as Friday had seen power restored to more customers.
Callahan said she had lost power herself, and had sent her husband out to both make sure the business had lost power and to get her some coffee from the shop.
The MetroWest YMCA also opened its doors to those without power, member or not. Many families used the WiFi and play spaces as they warmed up, said Lisa Mandozzi, branch executive director."
"The deadline for candidates to pull papers for this spring’s town election has passed, with only one potentially contested race on the ballot.
Thursday, March 8 was the last day to seek papers from the town clerk’s office for the May 1 vote, in which multiple selectman and School Committee seats will be up for grabs.
The only seat for which multiple candidates have pulled papers is a five-year Housing Authority position. Town Clerk Ann Odabashian said newcomer candidates Joseph Fleuette, Billiegene Lavallee and Mark Ladouceur had requested nomination papers; Lawrence Sposato, the incumbent, did not."
