Notes and context

There’s no recent meeting data listed between these programs in the supplied information, so Saturday’s game offers an early-season measuring stick for both squads. Each team is still looking to establish an identity in 2025, and a strong start here would build momentum heading into next week — Wachusett Regional travels to West Springfield on Sept. 20 while Franklin hosts Brockton on Sept. 20.
