We’re excited to announce that our Sixth Annual HockomockSports.com Charity Soccer Classic will be on November 23rd at Attleboro High School. We currently run two charity events each year (soccer and basketball), and once again this year we will be raising money for Dana-Farber.

Last year, we had such a successful event that we were the top fundraising group for the Kick For Dana-Farber program. In each of the past two years, we’ve taken a Hockomock team on the field before a Revolution game, and then tickets to the game as well. The North Attleboro girls team were honored on the big screen before the game as HockomockSports.com was selected as the Revs “Hero of the Match.” We also won custom training tops that the Rocketeers received for their generous support to the fundraiser.

We are hoping to be one of the top fundraising groups again this season. Our event features a girls game and a boys game that features some of the top talent from the Hockomock League. All participants are selected strictly by our staff and do not have any connection to the official Hockomock League All Stars.

If you are interested in donating to our team, you can click this link or click on the picture above that will take you to the event page, which has a link to our fundraising page.

Please note that we will be releasing the rosters for the games over time, and each team will have 18 players.

We are returning to Attleboro High for the sixth straight season and we are very grateful for their support throughout the years. With construction for the new high school underway, we are asking all players and spectators to park at A. Irvin Studley Elementary School at 299 Rathbun Willard Drive. The entrance gate will be located on that side of the turf field.

If you have any questions, you can contact Editor Ryan Lanigan at ryanlanigan@hockomocksports.com.

 
 
There has been a lot of talent in the Hockomock League over the past decade, and we’ve seen first hand the ups and downs that happen throughout each season. Some of my favorite memories from covering high school sports are the moments following state championship games, seeing all of the hard work from the athletes pay off. I’ve always said it takes a perfect storm for teams to win a state title, it’s an incredible achievement.

We are excited to announce a new feature that we will be working on with the goal of publishing by the end of the school year: The HockomockSports Teams of the Decade Project. This website has covered the league for nearly the entire decade, but both Josh and I were freelancing with other publications in the area prior to that. We have covered countless games, interviews hundreds of coaches and athletes, and covered some incredible teams during the last decade and we’re hoping this will be a fun project for all involved.

This is going to be one list, roughly 15-20 teams, with all sports considered. That means we’ll be comparing baseball teams with field hockey teams, football teams with softball teams, lacrosse teams with gymnastics teams, and so on. The only requirements are that the team competed in the Hockomock League and competed between Fall 2010 and Spring 2020 (yes, this school years teams are eligible). This will be a list of specific teams (e.g. 2018 Franklin baseball), not just a program. Some squads will have state championship trophies, but it isn’t a requirement. There are a lot of great teams that came up short for a variety of reasons. Of course, it’s tough to judge different sports against one another, and there are a lot of factors we’ll be considering as we construct this list.

We started the project over the summer, and from our research, there were over 30 teams that won state titles in this decade alone, so there will be tough decisions to make. We’re creating this list in good fun and there is no right or wrong. We’ll have a group of honorable mentions and a write up on each team that makes the list; it will be a fun trip down memory lane. We are hoping to do something a little more in-depth for the top three or five teams.

While we are making the final choices on our list, we want to hear from you. Use the contact form below to let us know which team you think should be on the list and how high up. Make sure to include some details and any info you think we should know. You can always contact us through our social media platforms, @HockomockSports on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. And of course, shoot us an email info@hockomocksports.com if that is best for you.

Let the debate begin!
