Franklin Boys Lacrosse launched their season with an emphatic statement, showcasing dominant play right from the outset. Last Wednesday, the Panthers decisively dismantled Oliver Ames with a striking 19-1 victory. Their momentum continued into a game against Milford yesterday, where a resolute defensive effort frequently translated into points, with standout contributions from players like McCarthy.
This aggressive start builds on the foundation laid last year when Franklin showcased true power in the sport. Finishing an undefeated 10-0 in Hockomock league play, they were ranked as the 12th best Massachusetts lacrosse team and earned a playoff berth, ultimately falling to St. John’s Prep. The taste of past playoff disappointment has only fueled their resolve this season.
With an unwavering focus on redemption, the Panthers are determined to turn last year’s near-miss into an inspiring finals appearance. Based on their explosive start and robust defensive efforts, the prospects look promising for Franklin Boys Lacrosse as they set out to complete the journey and possibly clinch a championship run.
