Player of the Week: Bella Bourque, Taunton Softball

Bella Bourque
By HockomockSports.com Staff

Taunton junior Bella Bourque has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for June 7 through June 13. Bourque is the 28th athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2025-26 school year and the 11th and final athlete in the spring season.

Bourque, who was recently named the state’s Gatorade Player of the Year, capped off another terrific season (her fourth on varsity) with a big performance in Saturday’s Div. 1 state title game victory over Attleboro at Worcester State’s Rockwood Field. Bourque tied a record with three runs scored in the final (also matched by teammate Victoria Corrao) and drove in three runs as the Tigers won their sixth consecutive championship.

“Bella Bourque’s ability to deliver in big moments played a major role in our success this season,” said head coach Michelle Raposo. “She came through with clutch hits, made key defensive plays, and was always there to support her teammates. After posting career highs with 51 hits, 40 RBIs, and 50 runs scored, it was no surprise that when her team needed a hit, she stepped up and crushed a home run in the final game.”

Bourque was one of the league’s leading hitters all season and that continued through Taunton’s playoff run. She opened the postseason by going 3-for-4 with two RBI and three runs scored in a blowout of Newton South. In the Sweet Sixteen against Braintree, Bourque was 1-for-3 with a run scored, a stolen base, and a walk. She was also 1-for-3 with a run, an RBI, and a walk against Newton North in the quarterfinal.

In the Final Four against Shrewsbury at UMass Dartmouth, Bourque went 2-for-4 and scored three runs. Her deep drive to left in the sixth forced the left fielder into a tough play that she couldn’t handle and brought in a pair of key insurance runs. Against Attleboro in the final, Bourque went 2-for-4 with three RBI and three runs scored. She drove in a run in the first with a single and, in the second inning, gave Taunton its first lead with a two-run homer off the flagpole in straightaway center. Bourque reached on an error in the sixth and scored Taunton’s 11th run. She also had an assist on the final out, fielding a grounder at short and flipping to Corrao at second for the force.

Player of the Week: Matt Labriola, King Philip Baseball

Matt Labriola
By HockomockSports.com Staff

King Philip junior Matt Labriola has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for May 31 through June 6. Labriola is the 27th athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2025-26 school year and the 10th in the spring season.

Labriola has been outstanding on the mound for the Warriors all season and that continued into the playoffs. The junior has won both of his postseason starts, allowing no runs and striking out 25 over 13 combined innings. Riding its stellar pitching, KP reached the Final Four for the second straight year (last season was in D1).

“Matty has been electric for us in the playoffs,” said King Philip head coach Jeff Plympton. “In our game against Reading, he threw a complete game shutout with 92 pitches and 70 for strikes. He does a fantastic job at neutralizing a good hitting lineup and giving us a great shot to win any game. We hope to give him an opportunity to pitch in a state final.”

In the playoff opener against Doherty, Labriola scattered three hits and four walks across six shutout innings to pick up the win. He struck out 11 before turning it over to Jacoby Cady, who threw a scoreless seventh to earn the save. On Saturday at No. 3 Reading (which was looking for its third straight win over a Hockomock opponent), Labriola continued to dominate. He tossed a complete game shutout, allowing just three hits and one walk, while striking out 14. Labriola set the tone in the first by striking out the side and he capped his performance with back-to-back Ks in the seventh. Labriola struck out 66 batters in 42 innings during the regular season and finished with an ERA of 1.17.

Player of the Week: Clara Blongastainer, Franklin Lacrosse

Clara Blongastainer
By HockomockSports.com Staff

Franklin sophomore Clara Blongastainer has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for May 24 through May 30. Blongastainer is the 26th athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2025-26 school year and the ninth in the spring season.

One of the league’s leading scorers in the regular season, Blongastainer has continued her impressive performance into the playoffs, helping the Panthers make a run to the Div. 1 quarterfinal. The reigning HockomockSports.com Underclassman of the Year scored six times in the opening round and helped dominate the draw on Saturday to earn a road win over Bishop Feehan.

“Clara is only a sophomore, but she is playing like a veteran on our team,” said Franklin head coach Kristin Igoe Guarino. “Not only is she a scoring machine, but she also plays a huge role in helping us gain possession at the draw circle. I am so impressed with her confidence, teamwork and improvement this season.”

After finishing the regular season with 104 points, which was second in the Hock, Blongastainer came out firing in Franklin’s opening tournament game against Andover. Seeking revenge for last year’s upset loss, the Panthers controlled the second half and ran away with a 15-5 win. Blongastainer scored four times in the first half, as Franklin went into the break ahead 8-3, and added two more in the fourth quarter as the Panthers broke the game wide open.

On Saturday, in the rain and wind at McGrath Stadium, Blongastainer scored a pair of goals and dished out two assists in the win over Feehan, but it was her work on the draw (four draw controls) that stood out, enabling Franklin to turn a one-goal game into a five-goal lead in the space of just a couple minutes in the third quarter. The win, Franklin’s second over the Shamrocks in the space of two weeks, has the Panthers on the brink of the Final Four. They travel to No. 4 Westford Academy on Tuesday.

Player of the Week: Canton 4×400 Relay Team

By HockomockSports.com Staff

The Canton 4×400 Relay team of Adileh Azar, Grace Martinek, Chloe Dubuisson, and Lauren Raffetto has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for May 17 through May 23. The relay team is the 25th selection as Player of the Week for the 2025-26 school year and the eighth in the spring season.

The relay team capped off a terrific day for the Canton girls track team, which won its first ever title at the Hockomock League Outdoor Track & Field Championships, held on Saturday at North Attleboro High. The Bulldogs, who also won their first regular season league title in 43 years this spring, scored 103 points as a team, beating King Philip by nearly 24 points, and the 4×400 relay put the finishing touch on the historic performance by setting a new meet record in the final event of the day.

“The Canton Girls 4×400 relay team of Addy Azar, Grace Martinek, Chloe Dubuisson, and Lauren Raffetto have been a major part of our team’s success this season,” said Canton head coach Anna Amico. “All four athletes have contributed significantly to our 5-0 regular season record, our first regular season league title in 43 years, and the program’s first-ever Hockomock League Championship Meet title.

“What makes this group so special is not only their talent, but also the way they approach everything they do. Addy, Grace, Chloe, and Lauren are selfless, hardworking, coachable, and compete with heart and grit every time they step on the track. Together, they consistently put the team first and bring out the best in one another.”

In the final event of the day, Canton set a new meet record with a time of 3:56.55, which was nearly 10 seconds better than the second place team from Franklin. Azar kicked it off with a 59.21 first leg followed by Martinek’s 1:01.52. Dubuisson had the fastest leg of any runner with a time of 57.80 and Raffetto closed it out with a 58.02 leg. Canton broke the former record of 3:57.72, set by Mansfield’s Katie Jenkins, Emily Broyles, Erika Unger, and Michelle Jenssen in 2009.

Dubuisson won league titles in the 100M hurdles and 400M hurdles and Raffetto won the 1 Mile and 2 Mile, giving each runner three titles on the day. Raffetto, who is currently ranked No. 2 in Massachusetts in the 1 Mile (4:50.34) and No. 5 in the 800M (2:13.05), holds school records in the 800M, 1 Mile, 2 Mile, 4×400 relay, and sprint medley relay. Azar also won the 800M and took third in the 2 Mile, while Martinek took sixth in the 400M and sacrificed an additional individual event opportunity to strengthen the 4×100 relay, helping Canton take sixth and score important points for the team. Dubuisson is currently ranked No. 4 in Massachusetts in both hurdle events and is the outdoor school record holder in the 400M hurdles, 200M, 4×400 relay, sprint medley relay, and both the individual and team pentathlon/heptathlon.

Jackie Boutros
By HockomockSports.com Staff

Stoughton senior Jackie Boutros has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for May 10 through May 16. Boutros is the 24th athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2025-26 school year and the seventh in the spring season.

Boutros finished off a perfect week, winning all five matches at No. 1 singles and helping the Black Knights go 4-1 as a team and improve to 9-10 overall, one win more than they had last year when they qualified for the state tournament for the first time in decades. The senior currently has a 17-3 record after another win on Monday and the Knights sit at 10-10.

“Jackie has been a consistent force on our team,” said Stoughton head coach Patty Bangs. “Her ability to stay focused and fully locked in is one of her greatest strengths. Her perseverance and confidence in herself have made her a tough competitor this year. We are incredibly proud of all she has accomplished.”

On Monday, Boutros dominated her first singles match of the week, winning 6-0, 6-0 to help Stoughton edge Mansfield. The following day, Stoughton played a pair of matches against Norwood (using eight-game, pro sets). Boutros won both of her matches, taking the first 8-3 and the second 8-1, as the Black Knights swept aside the Mustangs. Although Stoughton would lose the match with Foxboro on Wednesday, 3-2, Boutros was again victorious, winning 7-5, 6-2. She kept rolling on Saturday, winning 6-1, 6-0 at first singles to help Stoughton bounce right back with another win. The Black Knights are currently ranked No. 34 in Div. 2.

Cole Hogencamp
By HockomockSports.com Staff

Mansfield junior Cole Hogencamp has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for May 3 through May 9. Hogencamp is the 33rd athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2025-26 school year and the sixth in the spring season.

Hogecamp is well on his way to his third straight 100-point season (he leads the league with 90 points through the first 15 games) and has helped Mansfield clinch its fourth straight Davenport division title. The Brown University-commit became the program’s all-time leading scorer last week, accounting for 19 points in a pair of wins for the unbeaten Hornets, who are currently ranked No. 2 in Div. 2.

Hogencamp started the week with a dominant performance against Attleboro, scoring four goals and setting up five others in a 17-5 win. Two days later, Hogencamp sealed his place in the Mansfield record books with 10 points (five goals and five assists) in another comprehensive win over OA. He eclipsed the former record of 330 points with five regular season games remaining in his junior campaign. Hogencamp leads the Hock with 50 goals and is second in the league with 40 assists (behind only teammate Andrew DeGirolamo’s 46).

Player of the Week: Aniyah Bailey, Taunton Softball

Aniyah Bailey
By HockomockSports.com Staff

Taunton junior Aniyah Bailey has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for April 26 through May 2. Bailey is the 32nd athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2025-26 school year and the fifth in the spring season.

Bailey has been one of the league’s top hitters since she first stepped into the box three years ago and that’s continued this season. The UMass-commit went 5-for-8 last week with nine RBI, five runs scored, a pair of homers, and two doubles, as Taunton bounced back from a tough loss at New England power LaSalle (RI) with two big wins. The Tigers remain alone in first in the Kelley-Rex division and ranked No. 1 in Div. 1.

“Aniyah has been an absolute force at the plate, consistently delivering when it matters most,” said Taunton head coach Michelle Raposo. “It’s exciting to see her reach 100 career hits while already racking up 31 RBIs this season, plus two home runs this week—including a grand slam — she’s just getting started.”

On Sunday at Brown University, Taunton had its 65-game win streak snapped by LaSalle. Bailey went 1-for-2 with an RBI-double for her 100th career hit and reached on a walk. Three days later, the Tigers bounced back with a dominant win over Mansfield. Bailey went 3-for-4 and drove in six runs against the Hornets. She smacked a two-run homer in the second and followed with a grand slam in the third. She also scored three times and stole a base. On Friday, Taunton handed Norton (the top-ranked team in D3) its first loss of the season. Bailey was 1-for-2 with a walk. She drove in the first run of the game with a double to left and added a second RBI with a sac fly that made it 5-0 in the second.

Player of the Week: Ethan Edmunds, Franklin Baseball

Ethan Edmunds
By HockomockSports.com Staff

Franklin freshman Ethan Edmunds has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for April 19 through April 25. Edmunds is the 31st athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2025-26 school year and the fourth in the spring season.

Edmunds continued his terrific rookie campaign by helping the Panthers to three non-league victories over vacation week, extending Franklin’s win streak to seven. He had four hits and six RBI over the three games and picked up the win on the hill against Wachusett.

“Ethan continues to perform like a varsity veteran,” said Franklin head coach Zach Brown. “He competes with a poise that’s uncommon for a freshman. He has had a major impact on our team both offensively and on the mound. We are excited about his future as a Panther.”

After going 2-for-3 with three RBI against Stoughton leading into vacation week, Edmunds was held hitless against Catholic Memorial, but the Panthers rallied from two runs down to secure a 3-2 win. Two days later, Edmunds had a big day on the mound and at the plate at Wachusett. He went five innings, allowing just three hits and two unearned runs while striking out seven. Edmunds left with the game tied at 2-2. Franklin scored twice in the sixth and five times in the seventh to get the win. Edmunds doubled to start the rally in the sixth and blasted a three-run homer in the final inning. He went 3-for-4 and drove in five on the day. On Saturday, Edmunds reached base four times against North Quincy, going 1-for-3 with three walks and scored two runs. His lone hit was the biggest of the day, singling to center in the bottom of the 11th to secure a dramatic, walk-off win.

Player of the Week: Hayden Patel, King Philip Volleyball

King Philip senior Hayden Patel has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for April 13 through April 19. Patel is the 30th athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2025-26 school year and the third in the spring season.

Patel established a new program record for career assists while helping the Warriors go 2-1 on the week. He finished the week with 563 career assists, which broke the previous record of 542 held by Ryan Mahoney, and has played a key role in the Warriors getting off to a 5-3 start (already eclipsing the three wins that KP had in all of 2025).

“Hayden has been apart of this program for four years and has spent two of those years on varsity — I am hard on all of my players but especially Hayden with him being a setter and I was a former setter for this program,” said first-year KP head coach Cam Corey. “All of the years of boys volleyball at KP, we’ve had tremendous setters and it’s been his position to step into and make it his own the past two years. This year he has grown a lot being a leader on and off the court but setting the tone in the gym everyday! There has been a lot of changes to our offense this year with a much faster tempo and new hitters being thrown into the offense. As a setter all eyes are on you making the best right decision on every play. He has matured this year by taking it one ball at a time.

“This past week Hayden found his hitters early and knew when to go to what hitter. He is not afraid to keep it fast to all hitters or slow it down and make our hitters go and get it. As much as this is an individual acknowledgment for Hayden and the work he has put in this season, this is also a team acknowledgment as our passers have been able to give Hayden great balls in system and our hitters are getting available fast swinging away with no fear. We play our best volleyball when we play together!”

After recording 34 assists in a four-set win over Taunton, Patel had 22 assists and nine digs in a sweep of Norwood to kick off this week. He delivered a terrific all-around performance in a sweep of Hock rival Attleboro, finishing with 35 assists, two kills, and seven service points. The Warriors saw their five-match win streak (all at home) come to an end on the road at one-loss Nipmuc, but Patel recorded 22 more assists to set the new program record. He has 226 assists this season with only 22 errors.

Player of the Week: Nora Giannacopoulos, Canton Lacrosse

Canton senior Nora Giannacopoulos has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for April 6 through April 12. Giannacopoulos is the 29th athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2025-26 school year and the second in the spring season.

The league’s top returning scorer from last season has gotten off to a terrific start this spring, helping the Bulldogs get off to a perfect 5-0 start, including 4-0 in the league, and take an early lead in the Davenport division standings. Giannacopoulos, a Bentley-commit, has already scored 21 goals and dished out five assists in five game this season (including 15 goals in the three games over the last week).

“Nora’s contributions on both ends of the field have been instrumental to our success these first few weeks,” said Canton coach Jess Powers. “Her goal scoring ability is just as dynamic as last year but this season she’s also done a great job sitting back at times, drawing defenders, and creating opportunities for her teammates. Her impact is just huge.”

After scoring six goals and recording a pair of helpers in Canton’s opening two wins, Giannacopoulos caught fire last week. On Monday, she scored six goals in an important division win at OA, as the Bulldogs jumped out to an 8-4 lead by halftime and held off the Tigers in the second half. Two days later, she had a hat trick and a pair of assists in a 16-3 win over Taunton. The following day, she spearheaded a come-from-behind win at Norwood. Canton trailed by one at the break but outscored the Mustangs 10-1 in the third quarter for what ended up being a comfortable win. Giannacopoulos scored six goals and set up another to lead the Canton attack.
