HOCKEY REPORT
The Franklin Regional Junior Varsity Hockey team outlasted the Westmont Hilltoppers, 4-3, at the War Memorial in Johnstown, PA on Wednesday, November 28th.  The Panthers outshot the Hilltoppers 31-14, with Atilla Balazsi in goal for Franklin Regional.  Luke Stickel scored twice, while David Russo and Mike Scarano added goals for the Panthers.  The Junior Varsity team held off the Hilltoppers while shorthanded over the last minute of play, securing their third victory of the season and raising their record to 3-1-1.
 
Monday night, December 3, 2007 will be a big night for both ice hockey teams as they each take on the Latrobe Wildcats in a regional showdown.  The Varsity team faces off at home against Latrobe at the Center Ice Arena, with game time at  8:30 P.M.  The Junior Varsity team has an away game rematch against the Latrobe JV squad at the Nevin Arena in Greensburg.  The puck drops there at 9:30 P.M.  Hope to see all of you at the games !!!!
