2025 HockomockSports Girls Basketball Awards

Foxboro senior guard Kailey Sullivan has been named the 2025 HockomockSports.com Girls Basketball Player of the Year, the 13th recipient in the site’s history. Sullivan, a four-year starter, was also named the Davenport division MVP after leading the Warriors to a third straight Davenport division title and to the team’s third straight Final Four appearance (second in a row in Div. 3).

“Kailey is one of the most gifted scorers that I’ve covered,” said HockomockSports.com Managing Editor Josh Perry. “She kept adding different dimensions to her game each season and this year was practically unguardable. She had so many tricks to create that sliver of space between her and a defender and then she’d knock down a pull-up jumper or floater that you wouldn’t trust anyone else to take. Kailey felt in total control of her game all season.”

Sullivan was the league’s top scorer this season with 607 points (25.3 per game). She scored 30-plus points in five games and 20-plus points in 17 games this season. Only twice was she held under 20 and she finished second in program history with 1,895 career points. Sullivan sank 58 threes and made 80 percent of her free throws while dishing out 3.4 assists per night.

Foxboro coach Lisa Downs said, “She stepped into this season without any of her starters from last season and knew that in order for us to have any success, she was going to have to step up in a way that few seniors are able to. Kailey drew a double team every night yet was still able to display her offensive magic game after game. She always had a smooth perimeter shot but this year she added explosive drives to the basket and pull-up shots that challenged all defenders. Kailey not only reached for the glass ceiling, she crashed through it this year.”

The 2023 HockomockSports.com Underclassman of the Year grew in leaps and bounds over the course of her four years at Foxboro. After scoring 336 points as a freshman, Sullivan scored 450 as a sophomore, 502 as a junior, and 607 as a senior. During that time, she won three league titles, two state titles, and reached the Final Four three times. She had an 84-13 career record at Foxboro, including 58-6 in league play (70-5 and 47-1 over the final three years).

Sullivan is the fourth Foxboro player to receive this award, joining Kat Tamulionis (2015), Ashley Sampson (2018), and Camryn Collins (2023 and 2024). She also joins Tamulionis and Sampson in having been named both Underclassman of the Year and Player of the Year in their careers (Franklin’s Ali Brigham is the only other girls basketball player to have that distinction).

King Philip sophomore guard Tatum Morgan has been named the 2025 HockomockSports.com Girls Basketball Underclassman of the Year; the 12th season this award has been given out to the top freshman or sophomore in the league. Morgan was one of the league’s top scorers this season and helped the Warriors reach the Div. 1 quarterfinal for the first time.

Morgan led the Warriors with 13 points per game this season, her first on varsity. She was one of the league’s top sharpshooters from three-point range and, as teams adjusted to try and take away the outside shot, was able to consistently get into the lane and finish around the rim. Morgan made an immediate impact on the team, scoring 20-plus points in her first two varsity games, and wasn’t held in single digits until more than halfway through the season.

“Tatum announced herself as a major factor right from the opening night,” said HockomockSports.com Managing Editor Josh Perry. “She was a dynamic scorer, not just with her range, but also by taking players off the dribble and getting into the lane. While she might have surprised some people at the start of the season, by the end everyone was focusing their defense on trying to prevent her from even touching the ball. It will be fun to see how the experience she gained this season makes her an even bigger threat going forward.”

With Morgan taking a leading role on offense, King Philip finished just a game behind Franklin in the Kelley-Rex title race and amassed its highest win total since the 2002-03 season. The Warriors also won a pair of playoff games and advanced to the Div. 1 quarterfinals for the first time.

KP coach Jeff Miszkiewicz said, “Tatum is a force offensively and commands so much respect from the other team. She’ll get the obvious credit for her shooting ability, but she showed some great finishing, passing, and off-ball cutting ability throughout the season.”

Morgan is the first King Philip girls basketball player to be named Underclassman of the Year and the first player from the Kelley-Rex to receive this award since Franklin’s Olivia Quinn in 2020. The other players from the Kelley-Rex to be honored as Underclassman of the Year are Mansfield’s Caroline Maher (2014), Attleboro’s Sarah Deyo (2015), and Franklin’s Ali Brigham (2017 and 2018).

HockomockSports All Underclassmen Team

Alaysia Drummonds – Foxboro
Drummonds, a sophomore guard, established herself as a starter on the Davenport champion Warriors and was an impact player on both ends of the court. She scored 188 points this year (just under eight per game) while adding 4.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. Foxboro coach Lisa Downs said, “Some opponents were caught off guard with Alaysia’s game early this season – she exploded past some defenders, skied over taller rebounders, and picked the pocket of some guards. Alaysia plays with quiet confidence and holds herself to high standards. She was relentless and played with a maturity that few underclassmen show.”

Sophia Foley – Mansfield

Mansfield sophomore guard Sophia Foley has been named the 2025 HockomockSports.com Girls Basketball Defensive Player of the Year. Foley is the 10th player to receive this honor in the 13 years that it has been given out and helped the Hornets finish second in the Davenport division and reach the Div. 2 Sweet Sixteen.

Foley is a menace in the halfcourt with her length and athleticism. She holds the Mansfield record for most steals in a game with nine, which she has accomplished in four different games. In only two years, Foley is already seventh in program history for career steals with 117. This season, Foley averaged 4.8 steals and five rebounds per game. She also put up nine points and 3.8 assists per night.

“Sophia follows in a long line of disruptive, athletic defenders at Mansfield,” said HockomockSports.com Managing Editor Josh Perry. “She reads the game so well and seems to get a hand on everything. Even if she’s not getting a steal, teams must account for her when making a pass on the perimeter, driving into the lane, or trying to finish at the rim. Sophia can take away so much of what the opposition wants to do offensively.”

Mansfield coach Heather McPherson said, “Sophia was pivotal in our success this season. Sophia is an extremely smart basketball player, she has a great court vision and is able to set up not only herself to score but her teammates as well. Defensively, she was someone we relied heavily on, her length and speed made it difficult for opposing players to get by or get shots up. Whether we were in man or our 1-3-1, Sophia found ways to disrupt the team’s offensive flow.”

Foley is the fourth Mansfield girls basketball player to receive this honor. She joins former Hornets Jackie Carchedi (2015 and 2016), Ann Maher (2017), and Abby Wager (2023). This is the first time a sophomore has won the award, each of the previous recipients was either a junior or senior.

On the other end, she dished out 60 assists and shot 39% from three. Franklin coach John Leighton said, “Elle played every minute with passion and did all she could to help us be successful. She regularly covered the other team’s best player regardless of any height difference. Elle is one of the fiercest competitors I have coached.”

She also grabbed 5.2 rebounds a night, scored more than 150 points this winter, and dished out 2.5 assists per game.

She averaged eight points, four rebounds, three assists, and three steals per game and every night took the challenge of guarding the opposition’s top perimeter threat. KP coach Jeff Miszkiewicz said, “Katie took the mantle of lockdown defender. She was consistently tasked with defending the other team’s top guard and was fantastic at it. As our point guard, she did a very nice job driving and kicking to set her teammates up.”

Maeve Horsman – Oliver Ames
Horsman, a junior forward, continued to be a tough, athletic defender who could guard multiple positions. She was a key to OA allowing only 45.8 points per game this season.

OA coach Brian Costello said, “Maeve took her game to a new level this season, especially on the offensive end.

Coach of the Year – Jeff Miszkiewicz, King Philip

King Philip head coach Jeff Miszkiewicz has been named the 2025 HockomockSports.com Girls Basketball Coach of the Year. Miszkiewicz led the Warriors to second place in the Kelley-Rex division, the team’s highest win total in more than two decades, and a first Div. 1 quarterfinal.

Despite starting with an almost entirely new lineup, the Warriors were in the running for a first league title since 2002 until the final Hock game of the season. KP finished with the second-best offense in the league, averaging 52.3 points per game, and the fourth-best defense, holding teams to 43.3 points per night.

KP earned the No. 10 seed in D1 and edged past Lexington in the opening round. In the Sweet Sixteen, the Warriors rallied in the second half to knock off Quincy on the road and reach the quarterfinal for the first time. Although Bishop Feehan would end KP’s season in the next round, it was the first time in more than a decade that the Warriors had won two playoff games in the same season.

“Between injuries, graduations, and transfers, Jeff started the season with an almost entirely new rotation,” said HockomockSports.com Managing Editor Josh Perry. “The team bought in at the defensive end and worked hard every game. Everyone on the roster was prepared so they could step in and, on any given night, be the one to make that key play down the stretch to get the Warriors a win.”

Miszkiewicz is the fourth Kelley-Rex coach to earn this honor, joining Mansfield’s Mike Redding (2017), Franklin’s John Leighton (2019 and 2020), and Attleboro’s Bri Bracken (2024). He joins Gary Pichel (girls soccer) as the second KP coach to earn Coach of the Year honors this school year.

Honorable Mentions: John Leighton (Franklin), Heather McPherson (Mansfield), Lisa Downs (Foxboro)
