Is Parker Wells any relation to Garde Wells, a former Tiger elite?

No relation. Amazing that you remember Garde. Interesting, while cheering Parker on yesterday I called him "Garde". It's been about 40 years and I didn't coach him.

I don't think the Framingham boys were there. They were already slaughtered by NN earlier in the season. I doubt they went back for more.
