The Panthers extended their lead to eight (44-36) after 24 minutes and closed it out with a big final quarter to get the win. 

Sophomore Henry Digiorgio poured in a carer-high 27 points, scoring 12 in the first half and hitting three three-points in the fourth to cement the win. Sophomore Andrew O’Neill added 11 of his career-high 14 points in the second half for his varsity debut. Canton junior Matt Chafin finished with a career-high 16 points to lead Canton while Conor Hunter accounted for four of the Bulldogs’ 10 three-pointers for 12 points.

FHS' DiGiorgio - one of the Hockomock League boys basketball "Players to Watch"

HockomockSports.com has published the "Players to Watch" for the Hockomock League boys basketball teams. The Franklin High School representative is shared here. Follow the link below to find out about the other players to watch around the Hockomock League.  

HENRY DIGIORGIO, SOPHOMORE – FRANKLIN

"Franklin will be in need of some new players to step on the offensive end after graduating its top three scorers from last year, all three averaging double figures. One player that is a potential candidate to take on an expanded role is sophomore Henry Digiorgio. Digiorgio made a splash on varsity last season as a freshman. The sample size at the varsity level is relatively small, but he showed what he’s capable of, scoring 15 points in the season opener a year ago. That trend continued this year as he dropped a career-high 27 points in a season-opening win over Canton. He’s certainly one to watch from beyond the three-point line but his game goes beyond just shooting. The challenge this year will be scoring at a consistent level throughout the season against some of the top defenses around."

STAR/PAR session Tuesday Dec-28th @ 10am

50+ Job Seekers in MA Statewide Networking Groups

This free program is available through a grant from the Massachusetts Councils on Aging (MCOA) and the Executive Office of Elder Affairs

Session 4: STAR-PAR Stories

Tuesday December 28th: 10 am – 12 pm
Interviewers often ask candidates to display their potential value to a company by asking behavioral or competency-based questions. And most people reply with off-the-cuff answers or relate a story that is too long, too detailed, and unstructured.
 
The STAR [Situation-Task-Action-Result] and PAR [Problem-Action-Result] methods provide a proven framework for answering questions with concise, relevant, and interesting stories.
 
Why you need to know about this: Every interviewer will ask you how you applied your skills or worked effectively with team and colleagues. Your chances of impressing an interviewer—and landing the role-- rise dramatically when you employ the STAR-PAR methodologies.
 
Start your journey towards self-realization, reinvention and transformation!

We Did It For You! Women's Journey Through History = Dec 14, 7 PM

 There was a time when women couldn’t have jobs and had no voting rights. Women were property passed from father to husband. High-school student Melanie must learn how things changed.

We Did It For You! Women's Journey Through History is the story of how women got their rights in America, told by the women who were there. It is an entertaining and quick tour through the journey, starting with the struggle women had in the 17th century Puritan Revolution through to our 21st century empowered women politicians.

This presentation is a brand new filmed version of We Did It For You! It has many surprises in it for those who have seen the staged version. Stay around afterwards for a Q&A with the filmmakers.

This program is supported in part by a grant from the Franklin Local Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
