Why bake when the Knights can do it for you?

The Knights of Columbus, Sacred Heart Council 1847 St. Mary Parish Franklin MA is running their 3rd Annual Thanksgiving Pie Sale.    Our famous bakery (same as last year) is the family owned Mann’s Orchards and Bakery.

Both FHS girls and boys soccer teams top King Philip on Friday

Via HockomockSports.com and Twitter, we share the fall sports results for Franklin High School on Friday, Oct 16.

Boys Soccer = Franklin, 2 @ King Philip, 1 – Final 

– King Philip leveled the match just before halftime but Franklin came out and took the lead back with an early goal in the second half and held on to even the season series between the two rivals. Ben Moccia converted a feed from Tyler Powderly in the 26th minute to give the Panthers the lead but Tadhg Keller answered in the 35th minute on a long free kick to make it 1-1 at the break. Franklin’s Ethan Cain (from Charlie Amante) scored the game-winning goal in the 46th minute and the Panthers held on the rest of the way.

 

Girls Soccer = King Philip, 1 @ Franklin, 2 – Final 

– Franklin scored twice in the first quarter and held off a late charge by the Warriors to earn a hard-fought win in the rain and stay perfect on the season. The Panthers wasted no time getting on the board, as Sydney St. Marie scored after 90 seconds. Eight minutes later, St. Marie set up Anya Zub to double the lead. The lead remained two goals until the fourth quarter. Ava Tormey got KP back within one as she knocked in a rebound, which was the first goal the Panthers have allowed this season.. The goal sparked the Warriors and they put the Panthers under pressure for the final 13 minutes, but Franklin’s defense held on for the win. Julia Bertone and Rachel Welch combined to make seven saves for Franklin, while KP keeper Emma Glaser made nine saves.

School Committee: Policy Sub Committee Meeting - Oct 20, 2020

MetroWest Daily News Sports: “It’s definitely a different senior year”

From the MetroWest Daily News, an article of interest for Franklin: 

"Franklin High cross country coach Nick Bailey first met Nick Calitri when he was a freshman in Bailey’s video production class.

That is when Bailey first saw Calitri’s potential.

“I discovered him when he was running in one of the videos,” Bailey said. “I said, ‘Hey you got to do cross country or track.’ But it was too late for him to do cross country at the time.

“He ran track as a freshman and he ended up having a pretty good season.”
