Franklin Public Schools: Opening on time; emergency busing in effect - Tues, Dec 17

Tuesday, December 17, 2019

Dear Franklin Families and Faculty/Staff,

We have been monitoring the forecast carefully and have been remaining apprised of road conditions in Franklin. Roads and sidewalks in Franklin have been pre-treated and temperatures will remain in a zone where the salt should have an effect, resulting in melting. Snowfall totals have been downgraded in our area.

As a result, Franklin Public Schools will open on time today. As a friendly reminder, parents/guardians may choose to not send a child to school if they feel road conditions are not safe.

Emergency busing will be in effect in the morning and students walking or waiting along routes will be offered rides by our drivers.


Sincerely,

Franklin Public Schools

Boys Basketball: Players to Watch - FHS' Chris Edgehill

FHS senior Chris Edgehill was named one of the Boys Basketball: Ten Players to Watch in 2019-2020 by HockomockSports.com.


Chris Edgehill, Senior- Franklin

Franklin senior Chris Edgehill has packed a lot into his high school career: scoring over 1,000 points, reaching the D1 State Championship game twice, named HockomockSports.com Underclassman of the Year as a sophomore, and the list goes on. And he’s done it all in just three seasons.

Now a senior, Edgehill is yet again one of the best players in the league and we’re excited to see what he has for his final season dawning Panther blue. He was second in the league last year with 16.5 points per game while grabbing five rebounds and dishing out four assists per game. Not only does he consistently lead the team in scoring, but he’s also impressed with his ability to get teammates involved. 

After Franklin graduated a handful of talented players from last year, Franklin will lean heavily on Edgehill for his leadership on and off the court.

HockomockSports.com Boys Soccer awards for Stowell, Tarpin, O'Neill

Here are the FHS athletes selected for the HockomockSports.com Awards for Boys Soccer 2019.

HockomockSports Editor’s Note: The HockomockSports.com Awards are selected strictly by our staff and have no affiliation to the official Hockomock League all stars.

HockomockSports.com Best XI

Sam Stowell – Franklin – Defense

Franklin senior Sam Stowell concluded his four-year varsity career with another strong season in the heart of the Panthers defense and helped them finish second in the Kelley-Rex and reach the Div. 1 South quarterfinal. A physical and dominating presence in central defense, Stowell was part of a unit that held opponents to the fourth-fewest goals allowed in the league (20) and he was selected as an all-star by Hockomock League coaches for the first time. He also scored once and assisted on two goals. Franklin coach Fran Bositis said, “Sam had a great career at Franklin High. He was a four-year varsity player and was the unquestioned leader of our defense for the last two seasons.”

HockomockSports.com Second XI

Donny Tappin – Franklin – Forward

Franklin senior forward Donny Tappin was involved in half of the goals that the Panthers scored this season, emerging as one of the league’s top playmakers and helping the team reach the Div. 1 South quarterfinal. Tappin scored three times and assisted on 14 goals this fall, finishing the regular season with the second-most assists in the league. He was selected as an all-star by the Hockomock League coaches for the first time. Franklin coach Fran Bositis said, “Donnie had an outstanding senior season. He was the individual who created many opportunities for us offensively. His ability to take the defenders on in one-v-one situations was key. He’s a very unselfish player.”

Underclassman of the Year

Franklin sophomore Terry O’Neill has been selected as the 2019 HockomockSports.com Boys Soccer Underclassman of the Year. In his second year with the Panthers, O’Neill was a reliable and steady option in the center midfield for the Panthers.

A center defensive midfielder for head coach Fran Bositis, O’Neill’s consistency made him of the top players in the league. While O’Neill isn’t a flashy player, his work ethic is among the best in the league and his decision making and high soccer IQ separate from others in the league.

“Terry played as our holding center midfielder and very rarely came off the field,” said Franklin head coach Fran Bositis. “He is a very talented and knowledgeable player and I believe his best days are ahead of him.”
