Winnisquam found their leader in underclassman sophomore Philip Nichols, who passed for 196 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Meanwhile, Franklin earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing last Saturday. They got past Newfound Regional with less than a touchdown to spare, ending up at 12-6.
Winnisquam had enough points to win and then some against Franklin the last time the two teams met, taking their game 20-0. Since neither squad is a stranger to landslide victories this season, you'd better bet it will be hard-fought showdown.
