FPAC Announces Open Auditions for You Can’t Take It With You
The Franklin Performing Arts Company is excited to announce open auditions for You Can't Take it With You. Auditions open to ages 16+ on Saturday, December 15 or by appointment. To schedule an appointment, call 508-528-3370 or email Raye Lynn Mercer at rlmercer@fpaconline.com. Those auditioning may prepare a monologue or sides will be available. The production runs January 25-27 at THE BLACK BOX.
You Can't Take It with You, by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, is a classic comedy about a family living “to the beat of a different drum”. Set in the summer of 1938 in New York City, the play introduces audiences to the freethinking Sycamore family and the mishaps and mayhem that ensue when their daughter's fiancé brings his conservative, straight-laced parents to dinner on the wrong night. You Can’t Take It with You won the 1937 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and the screen adaptation won the Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Director.

We share the HockomockSports.com football awards for FHS. Note: all photos from HockomockSports.com
HOCKOMOCKSPORTS.COM HOCK 5 QUARTERBACKS
Nick Gordon – Franklin- Senior
Franklin senior quarterback Nick Gordon added a different dimension to the Panthers offense this season with his ability to make plays through the air or with his feet. Gordon, who was chosen as the Hockomock League MVP, threw for 24 touchdown passes and exactly 2,100 yards to help Franklin reach the Div. 1 South semifinal. He also rushed for 419 yards and eight touchdowns, setting school records for passing and total TDs and total yards. Franklin coach Eian Bain said, “Nick stepped into the roll of QB for us and our system evolved to utilized his play making ability. He steadily improved as the season progressed.”
HOCKOMOCKSPORTS.COM HOCK 5 WIDE RECEIVERS/TIGHT ENDS
Ryan Driscoll – Franklin – Senior
Franklin senior Ryan Driscoll was one of the top big play threats in the state this season, averaging more than 31 yards per catch and pulling in 12 touchdowns, which was half of QB Nick Gordon’s total passing touchdowns. He had 842 receiving yards this season, as well as 188 yards on special teams to eclipse 1,000 total yards for the year. Driscoll was also one of the top cover guys in the Panthers secondary. Franklin coach Eian Bain said, “Ryan had a flair for the big play, and scored in all but three games this season. He became the go-to in the big moments. He also had big plays on special teams in the return game.”
HOCKOMOCKSPORTS.COM HOCK 5 ATHLETES
Jack Nally – Franklin – Junior
Franklin junior Jack Nally found a number of different ways to make an impact for the Panthers on both sides of the ball, helping them reach the D1 South semifinals. Nally averaged five yards per carry this season and rushed for one touchdown, while catching four touchdowns and totaling nearly 400 yards receiving. He also had more than 350 return yards (922 yards total) and was a strong presence on the defensive side of the ball. Franklin coach Eian Bain said, “Jack was our best overall athlete. We need to invent new and creative way to get him the football. He was a focal point of our game plan each week in all three phases.”
HOCKOMOCKSPORTS.COM HOCK 5 LINEBACKERS
Evan Wertz – Franklin – Junior
Franklin junior linebacker Evan Wertz has already set school records during his two years in the middle of the Panthers defense, as he racks up tackles each week. He had an incredible 122 tackles in 11 games this season (11 per game), including 45 solo efforts and 10 tackles for loss. He also had three pass break-ups and an interception, as he showed the ability to drop into coverage when needed. Franklin coach Eian Bain said, “One of the best linebackers in the state, Evan has a nose for the football. He has great lateral quickness and is a technician with his block destruction. He has set multiple school records already as a linebacker.”
HOCKOMOCKSPORTS.COM HOCK 5 DEFENSIVE BACKS
Ryan Driscoll – Franklin – Junior
Franklin senior defensive back Ryan Driscoll emerged as one of the top two-way players for the Panthers, making big plays in the passing game on offense and preventing them on defense. He finished with 31 tackles (15 solo tackles), 10 pass breakups, two interceptions, and a blocked punt. He also accumulated more than 1,000 total yards as Franklin’s top target in the passing game (see above). Franklin coach Eian Bain said, “Defensively, Ryan drew the toughest match-ups each week. He was one of our most sure tacklers, and had many solo tackles on the perimeter. His playmaking extended to the defensive side of the ball.”
HOCKOMOCKSPORTS.COM HOCK 5 SPECIAL TEAMS
Parker Cheuvront – Franklin – Sophomore
Franklin sophomore Parker Cheuvront stepped into the kicking role this season and turned into a weapon for the Panthers as they made a run to the Div. 1 South semifinal. He made 38-of-39 extra points this season and also went 3-of-6 on field goals. He made attempts from 32, 16, and 23 yards and finished with 47 total points in his first season for the Panthers. Franklin coach Eian Bain said, “Parker stepped in to sure up our kicking game this season. He is a master of his craft, and worked tirelessly to add an element to our team that we desperately lacked. As he got used to the bright lights on Friday, he became more and more consistent.”

FHS Lizotte, Tasker - "players to watch"; FHS boys hockey season preview
Via HockomockSports we share the FHS information from the "Top 10 boys hockey players to watch" and the FHS boys hockey preview.
JOE LIZZOTTE, SENIOR – FRANKLIN
Lizzotte is one of Franklin’s top returning forwards from last year’s league title-winning side and he could make the move up from the second to the first line for the Panthers this season. His energy and tenacity in the offensive zone made him one of Franklin’s top scoring threats, as the Panthers advanced to the final of the competitive Mount St. Charles tournament and got a point for the first time against Malden Catholic.
Lizzotte scored nine times and assisted on four other goals, partnering with Zac Falvey on the second line and both are back to keep Franklin rolling into a new season. Lizzotte utilizes his speed to open up space for diagonal passes and is willing to chase pucks into the corners to try and keep the offense going. In addition to league play, Franklin has a schedule loaded with some of the top teams in Div. 1, so Lizzotte and the forwards will need to be firing right from the start to help the Panthers compete with some of the state’s best.
TOM TASKER, SENIOR – FRANKLIN
Tasker jumped into the mix for Franklin and made a quick impression as a solid performer on the blue line in all three zones, providing big hits and a hard shot from the point. Now as a junior Tasker has solidified himself as a mainstay and one of the leaders of the Panthers defense as they try to continue their dominance in the Kelley-Rex division and make another run in the tournament.
Tasker is a physical presence in the defensive zone but also showed good touch on his outlet passes to get the Panthers into the attack quickly. He scored four goals and had four assists last season and became a dangerous weapon on the power play. After a year of experience on the varsity level, Tasker will be one of the leaders in the back line and keep driving the team forward from the defensive zone. Expectations are high for Franklin defensemen but Tasker seems more than capable of meeting them.

FRANKLIN
2017-2018 Record: 12-6-5
2017-2018 Finish: Reached Div. 1 South first round.
Coach: Chris Spillane
Franklin started well last winter, reaching the final of the prestigious Mount St. Charles tournament and taking a point off Malden Catholic for the first time, but the Panthers couldn’t carry the momentum throughout the season and were knocked out in the first round of the tournament. As usual, Franklin graduated a lot of players, but also return a strong corps of experienced players to take on arguably the program’s toughest regular season schedule, which is loaded with some of the state’s top teams.
The Panthers return 11 seniors for this season, including eight forwards, but also have a group of eight sophomores that are jumping up from the JV to contribute on varsity this season. The forward line has plenty of experience and should be able to fire in the goals this year. Seniors Joey Lizotte, Zac Falvey, Scott Elliott, Dan Magazu, and C.J. Spillane will all be able to jump into the top scoring lines after playing major roles last year.
Defensively, the top five defensemen will be juniors Tom Tasker (who was on the HockomockSports.com All-Underclassman Team last year) and Colin Hedvig and seniors Cam Casella, Matt D’Errico, and Evan Forbes. Three sophomores will also see time on the blue line for the Panthers this season. After graduating three senior goaltenders, the job is open to senior Ryan Cameron and junior Ray Ivers, who are both making the jump from JV.
“Our hope is that team speed will drive the offense and that our returning defense will have the experience to make sound decisions in our end,” said Franklin coach Chris Spillane. “The boys are looking forward to the upcoming season. I see the Hockomock as an extremely competitive league this year. We will also challenge our boys with a high-end non-league schedule.”

"A three-quarter scale replica of the huge and iconic national Vietnam Veterans Memorial will roll into town next August.
“I’ve been wanting to do this for 20 years,” said Jim Hastings, who filed the application for the visit.
The wall replica, managed and maintained by the same organization behind the original – the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund – stops in about 30 communities throughout the country each year.
It’s called The Wall that Heals, and has been to more than 600 communities since its unveiling in 1996. The first version was built to half-scale of its Washington, D.C., counterpart, but the current model is 375 feet long, and 7.5 feet tall at its highest point."

Ken Norman, Board of Directors for Franklin TV
a fair amount of new equipment
an upgrade sent to the device, meanwhile the device was beeping to ask for a reset; no longer will do updates remotely; small policy change for good benefits
separate system for the PA so it can be used without TV
someone had turned off the PA and an additional switch within the system to send the signal to the station; change to be made so it can't be turned off that way in the future
training was done on the system, more training and documentation coming
additional upgrades coming to the room to make it easier to do presentation
got the basic system up and running properly, installed in August
hopefully the operator errors are behind us
