Franklin, MA Legion Post #75 announced today that Joe Macchi has stepped down from coaching after 12 seasons with the team.  Coach Macchi served as the team’s assistant coach from 2009-2016, and took over as head coach when Mark D’Angelo resigned.  In Coach Macchi’s four years as head coach, he led the team to four consecutive playoffs births.  He had his best season in 2019 by going 17-3 and clinching the #1 seed in the District 6 Senior Tournament.  
“Joe has done a fantastic job bringing this program to where it is today.  We are all grateful for the many seasons of hard work to make the program strong.  The team is always in contention to win district 6 West division and that was because of Joe’s leadership,” said team manager Ryan Jette.

Taking over as head coach of the team will be Tyler Pasquarosa, who has served as an assistant coach on the Senior team and previously was the Junior team manager.  “Coach Pasquarosa has been an assistant coach at Franklin High School for the past 2 seasons and we are very excited to have him re-join the program as the head coach of the senior team,” said Jette.

Franklin Legion will begin accepting registration for the 2021 team through its website (www.franklinlegion.com).  Tryouts will be held on May 15 and 16, 2021
