2026 HockomockSports Boys Lacrosse Awards

Mansfield junior Cole Hogencamp has been selected as the 2026 HockomockSports.com Boys Lacrosse Player of the Year. Hogencamp was a dominant presence in the attack for the Hornets, leading them to the program’s first state title game appearance and a fourth straight Davenport division title.

“Cole can beat defenses in different ways, and he seems to perform best when the stakes are highest,” said HockomockSports.com Managing Editor Josh Perry. “He could overpower his defender to get to the cage, fire unstoppable shots from crazy angles, or pick out the right pass to take advantage of a double team. He’s grown so much over the past three years and is certainly one of the state’s best.”

Hogencamp, a Brown University commit, was tied with teammate Andrew DeGirolamo for the league lead in scoring at the end of the regular season and added another 17 points during Mansfield’s tournament run. He finished with 130 points, scoring 76 goals and dishing out 54 assists. Hogencamp was named a USA Lacrosse All-American for the second season in a row, was named the Davenport division MVP by the league’s coaches, and became the program’s all-time leading scorer as a junior.

Mansfield coach Tim Frias said, “He played best in our big games and always showed up whenever the team needed him. Cole keeps a level head in the toughest of moments and brings all his teammates to another level.”

This is the second season in a row that Hogencamp has earned this honor and it’s the third straight season that a Mansfield player has won, as Nico Smith won in 2024. Hogencamp is the third player to have won this award twice, and the first to have won twice before his senior season. Franklin’s Jack Vail (2014 and 2015) and Eric Civetti (2017 and 2018) are the other two-time winners.

Honorable Mentions: Mason Thompson (King Philip), Jason Stokes (Milford), Jake Marcell (Canton), Andrew DeGirolamo (Mansfield)

HockomockSports First Team

Finn Cunningham – King Philip – Goalie
King Philip senior goalie Finn Cunningham continued to stand tall in the cage for the Warriors this season, earning a spot on the HockomockSports.com First Team for the second year in a row. Cunningham, who is committed to Southern New Hampshire, made 204 saves, allowed only 102 goals, and stopped 66.7 percent of the shots he faced. One of the top shot stoppers in the league, Cunningham could swing momentum with a big save, made some of the toughest stops look routine, and often drew high praise from opposing coaches. He was also selected as an all-star by the Hockomock coaches. KP coach Hal Bean said, “With 605 career saves Finn has been the backbone of a stingy defense. His high level of play has kept KP in many games and his great play is a direct result of the team’s low goals against average over the last two years.”

Cole Gibson – Mansfield – Defense
Mansfield senior Cole Gibson has been a game-changer in defense for four years and he was a key to the Hornets completing a perfect run through league play, winning a fourth straight league title, and reaching the program’s first state title game. The Assumption University commit was a leader on the league’s stingiest defense, which allowed 130 goals in 24 games (just over five per game) including just one goal in the Final Four win. He also chipped in on the other end with nine goals and 20 assists. Gibson was selected as an all-star by the league’s coaches. Mansfield coach Tim Frias said, “Cole has such great checks from the LSM position he always knows where to be to get a quick pick and start a fastbreak. He held teams’ best midfielders to minimum points and was an integral part of the defense.”

Jake Marcell – Canton – Defense
Canton senior Jake Marcell returned with a vengeance this spring after missing last season and was one of the most impactful players in the Hockomock League. Marcell had the versatility to take on different matchups, using his athleticism and physicality to limit attackmen with a variety of styles, and also gave the Bulldogs a major boost in transition, often turning defense into offense with plays that covered the length of the field. Committed to play at Assumption, Marcell racked up 90 ground balls and turned his end-to-end ability into 27 goals and 38 assists for 65 points. “Jake is a game changer and, in my opinion, one of the best players in the league,” Canton coach Tommy Galvin said. “He is a shutdown defender that also helped our team offensively finishing with 65 points, which is truly unheard of for a close defenseman.”

He added 60 ground balls and five caused turnovers, giving the Panthers another contributor in the middle of the field. “If I were to sum up Rocco in one word it would be competitor,” Franklin coach Chris Baker said. “He took every face-off personally. There were games where I would have to make the decision to pull him and put in our sophomore FOGO, who is really good as well. It would take Rocco about 30 seconds before he was standing right next to me on the sideline begging to get back in, saying, ‘I got him, coach.’ I would relent, put him back in, and true to his word, he would win. The kid was unbelievable.”

The University of New England commit made 227 saves this season in 19 games (finishing his career with 647 stops) and was one of the reasons that Milford allowed the second fewest goals in the Hock. The highlight was an 18-save performance against Foxboro, where he also scored what turned out to be the winning goal. He was an honorable mention for league all-star. Milford coach Austin Costa said, “Anthony was the consistent and calming presence for us on the defensive side of the ball all year long.

His ability to win matchups, get out in transition, and contribute offensively made him a tough player for opponents to deal with. “Oisin is another one of my defenders that impacted the game all over the field,” Canton coach Tommy Galvin said. “He is a big game player and each of his goals this year came against good teams and helped gain momentum back. He is a versatile LSM who can play both sides of the ball which is extremely rare.”

Nikko Chiaradonna – Foxboro – Defense

He also showed he could make an impact going forward, scoring twice in the Warriors’ playoff win over Pope Francis. Foxboro coach Jack Bugan said, “Nikko is a physical and vocal leader on close defense who is never afraid to step out on his opponent and apply pressure on the ball carrier. He delivers timely checks that often lead to turnovers, and he consistently wins the ground ball battles that follow. As team captain, he serves as the commander of our defensive unit, communicating constantly, holding everyone accountable, and playing a key role in our clearing game to create transition opportunities from defense to offense.”

Brayden MacKay – Foxboro – FO
Foxboro junior Brayden MacKay was a game-changer at the face-off X, consistently giving the Warriors a chance to control possession and dictate the tempo.

Coach of the Year – Austin Costa, Milford

Milford head coach Austin Costa has been named the 2026 HockomockSports.com Boys Lacrosse Coach of the Year after leading the Hawks to a share of the Kelley-Rex division title, the first league title in program history.

“Austin has raised the expectations for the Milford lacrosse program,” said HockomockSports.com Managing Editor Josh Perry. “Every year, the program has reached new milestones and, in the process, set new goals to reach. Not many people would have expected Milford to be a league champ but it’s a testament to the work that Austin put into building the team.”

Milford finished the season with a record of 14-5 and earned a home playoff game in the Div. 2 Round of 32. The Hawks set a new mark for wins in a season, going one better than they did in 2025, and added first wins over Franklin and Foxboro (in back-to-back games in April) and added impressive wins over Sharon, Canton, and North Attleboro. The Hawks improved their goal total from 2025 and allowed nearly 30 fewer goals than last season, showing the progress that they made.

Costa is the first Milford lacrosse coach to be recognized as coach of the year and fifth Milford coach in any sport, joining Brian Macchi (softball, 2013), Steve DiVitto (softball, 2017), Brian Edwards (boys soccer, 2019), and Alex Dion (baseball, 2014).
