Mansfield junior Eddie McCoy has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for March 7 through March 13. McCoy is the 22nd player chosen as Player of the Week for the 2022-23 school year and 10th in the winter season.

McCoy has been instrumental in the shorthanded Hornets making a run to the Div. 2 state title game. He scored 20-plus points in each of the last three rounds, including a career-high in the Sweet Sixteen against Salem, helping No. 2 Mansfield overcome injuries to a pair of starters and still reach the championship game.

“Eddie’s been showing little glimpses all year but he’s taking over games and doing it in the flow [of the offense],” said Mansfield head coach Mike Vaughan. “He’s not forcing action, he’s not trying to do it all, he’s allowing his teammates to contribute. He’s stepped in and made big plays over and over the last couple of weeks.”

In the Sweet Sixteen against Salem, McCoy caught fire, scoring a career-high 31 points, almost half of Mansfield’s total of 64, while picking up seven steals, four rebounds, and a pair of assists. McCoy added 22 points, on four three-pointers, against Marblehead in the quarterfinal, another big win for the Hornets. In the semifinal against Nahoba, McCoy powered the Mansfield offense again. He scored 28 points, grabbed four rebounds, and had three steals to propel the Hornets to a 20-point win. McCoy’s scoring push has helped Mansfield win by at least 20 in each playoff game.

Player of the Week: Sean O’Leary, Franklin Basketball

Sean O'Leary
 
By HockomockSports.com Staff

Franklin junior Sean O’Leary has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Feb. 12 through Feb. 18. O’Leary is the 21st player chosen as Player of the Week for the 2022-23 school year and ninth in the winter season.

O’Leary came through in the clutch in both games last week, helping the Panthers overcome a pair of upset bids and finish the league campaign with just one loss. The junior forward scored 17 points in each game, but the bulk of his production came down the stretch of each contest, coming through with big buckets in the fourth quarter for the Kelley-Rex division champs. O’Leary is the league’s leading scorer and has the Panthers at 17-1 on the season.

“Sean has been amazing this entire season and this past week was no different,” said Franklin head coach CJ Neely. “In both of our games he made huge plays down that stretch to score or set up his teammates and take over the final minutes in two big wins. He is such a great player and teammate.”

On Tuesday night, Franklin was given a stiff test at Attleboro. The Bombardiers slowed the tempo and made the Panthers work for every point, but O’Leary sparked a late 12-0 run that secured the victory. He had a pair of and-ones, kicked out of a double team for a Justin Allen three, and then buried a corner three to put Franklin ahead 37-30. After Attleboro cut the lead back to one, he assisted on another Allen three to seal the win. O’Leary finished with 17 points, eight rebounds, and four assists. Three days later, he was at it again, scoring 12 of his team-high 17 points in the fourth quarter against Milford to help the Panthers hold off the Hawks, making some big plays down the stretch while also recording eight boards and four assists.

By HockomockSports.com Staff

Franklin junior Sarah Dumas has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Feb. 5 through Feb. 11. Dumas is the 20th player chosen as Player of the Week for the 2022-23 school year and eighth in the winter season.

Dumas won two individual titles at the annual Hockomock League Indoor Track Championships, held last week at the TRACK at New Balance. She won the 55-meter hurdles and the high jump, helping the Panthers take first place as a team. Franklin finished with 115.50 points, which was 45 more than second-place Oliver Ames.

“Sarah has been an outstanding performer all indoor track season,” said Franklin head coach Paul Trovato. “She is a premier hurdler in the state and is an accomplished Pentathlete. Sarah was a two event winner at the Hocks winning the high jump and the hurdles. Sarah has qualified for the MIAA D1 Championship in the hurdles, high jump, and long jump. She is a ‘Super Qualifier’ in the hurdles and will automatically compete at the Meet of Champions. She has qualified for the National Meet in the Pentathlon and 4×400 Relay.”

Dumas claimed her first title in the hurdles, sprinting into first place with a time of 8.69, which was 0.30 better than Maude Kilmer of Sharon. The junior followed that up with first place in the high jump. She cleared 5-00.00 to grab the title, edging out Stoughton’s Gabriele Julien and Franklin’s Abigail Griffith, who also cleared 5-00.00, by taking less attempts to reach the winning height. Dumas also competed in the long jump, taking sixth place with a leap of 16-04.00. In addition to winning the title at the league meet, Franklin was also the Kelley-Rex dual meet champs, winning all five of their meets this season.

Attleboro juniors Ben and Ryan Connors have been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Jan. 30 through Feb. 4. The Connors are the 19th players chosen as Player of the Week for the 2022-23 school year and seventh in the winter season.

The Connors combined to win four individual and two relay titles for the Bombardiers at the annual Hockomock Swim and Dive Championships, held Friday evening at the Milford High natatorium. Attleboro, which won the Kelley-Rex division title with a perfect 5-0 record, took second as a team on Friday, finishing just 19 points behind Davenport division winner Sharon. The Bombardiers compiled 357 points as a team.

“Ben and Ryan are both had amazing swims at Hocks and all their hard work from this season, and the hours they put it during the offseason, has paid off,” said Attleboro head coach Sarah Faulkner. “They were very focused on their races the week leading up to Hocks, and I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome than four perfect races from each of them! They are consistent in the pool and are top points earners for our team.”

It was a fast start for the Connors, and for Attleboro, on Friday. The twins were part of the 200-yard medley relay team (joined by Connor Coleman and Angad Ahluwalia) that took first place, over second-place Sharon, in a time of 1:43.41. Ryan then took first in the 200-yard free in a time of 1:53.21 (nearly seven seconds faster than the second-place swimmer) and Ben grabbed first in the 200-yard IM in a time of 2:05.77 (winning by four seconds).

Ryan added a second individual title with a meet record time of 53.13 in the 100-yard butterfly. He won the race by more than four seconds and set a new league meet record. Ben grabbed his second title in the 100-yard breaststroke, winning with a time of 1:03.24 and edging out Taunton’s Gerald Grealish by less than a second. In the final event of the meet, the twins again combined with Coleman and Ahluwalia to win the 400-yard free relay. The team finished in a time of 3:29.36 to win by nearly six seconds.

Player of the Week: Kelly Holmes, King Philip Hockey

Kelly Holmes
 
By HockomockSports.com Staff

King Philip junior Kelly Holmes has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Jan. 23 through Jan. 29. Holmes is the 18th player chosen as Player of the Week for the 2022-23 school year and sixth in the winter season.

Holmes has been at the heart of King Philip’s run towards a first Hockomock League title. The league’s top returning scorer from 2021-22, Holmes has been just as productive this season with 28 points in 15 games, while leading a relatively inexperienced roster. She is closing in on her 100th career point. Last week, Holmes had four goals and four assists, as the Warriors split a pair of league games, which means they head into the finale against Canton knowing that a win or a tie will earn them a first championship.

“She is a dynamic player that can be a game changer,” said KP coach Ken Assad. “She makes her line-mates always be ready for a pass when she touches the puck, she is ramping it up at the right time.”

After recording a goal and two assists in a 3-1 win over Westwood, Holmes got the lone goal in a 2-1 loss to Franklin on Wednesday. KP fell behind by two goals, but Holmes was a constant threat to the Panthers goal and she got on the board with a power play goal in the third period. KP bounced back with a convincing win over the Hockomock Stars on Saturday. Holmes was again in the middle of just about everything for the Warriors. She scored three times and assisted on four other goals in the 9-3 victory. That win sets up the winner-take-all showdown with three-time defending league champ Canton on Wednesday night.

Player of the Week: Victor Romeiro, OA Wrestling

Victor Romeiro
 
By HockomockSports.com Staff

Oliver Ames senior Victor Romeiro has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Jan. 9 through Jan. 15. Romeiro is the 16th player chosen as Player of the Week for the 2022-23 school year and fourth in the winter season.

Romeiro continued his outstanding senior season with a big week for the Tigers. Wrestling at 126, he went 4-0 overall and earned a gold medal at the 2023 Kieron Smith Memorial Tournament (held in honor of the former Monty Tech coach). He picked up back-to-back pins to advance to the semifinals, where he won by major decision (10-1). In the final, he pinned Southwick’s Isiah Wood at 2:50 to claim the individual title. For the season, Romeiro is 10-1 overall with seven pins and three major decisions. OA stayed one back of Sharon in the Davenport standings with two league dual meets remaining, and the Tigers have now won seven of their nine dual meets in 2023.

“Victor has been on a mission this season,” said Oliver Ames head coach John McKeon. “Since getting healthy, he has been making up for lost time, scoring points for his team in bunches and getting quick pins. This weekend’s tournament win is hopefully just the beginning, as Victor has put in a lot of hard work to be successful, and it’s exciting to see it pay off.”

OA won two of three matches at the Sandwich quad meet heading into the week and on Wednesday earned its second win of the league season by beating Stoughton 48-28. In the win over the Black Knights, Romeiro secured a pinfall victory in 1:06. Over the weekend, the Tigers won all four of their matchups, including close battles against Milton and Norwood. Romeiro was at the heart of all OA’s success, winning all five of his individual matches, including four pins.

Player of the Week: Kailey Sullivan, Foxboro Basketball

Kailey Sullivan
 
By HockomockSports.com Staff

Foxboro sophomore Kailey Sullivan has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Jan. 2 through Jan. 8. Sullivan is the 15th player chosen as Player of the Week for the 2022-23 school year and third in the winter season.

Sullivan is coming off a breakout rookie season and has been at the heart of Foxboro’s strong start to this campaign. The sophomore point guard has helped the Warriors get off to a perfect start in league play, building a two-game lead at the top just a quarter of the way through the Hock schedule, while boasting the league’s top offense (64.8 points per game) and top defense (40.3 points allowed per game).

“Kailey has continued to improve her game this year and is able to maintain a maturity on the court which is incredibly rare for a sophomore,” said Foxboro coach Lisa Downs. “She has several other scorers surrounding her this year, which allows her more opportunities to be a court leader. Her standout game at Sharon was not a complete surprise to me or her teammates since we know how skilled she is, but it was definitely a game in which she took full control offensively and I was very excited for her to have a career scoring game.”

On Friday, in the first game of 2023, Sullivan exploded for a career-high 30 points, as Foxboro rolled to a big win at Sharon. Sullivan knocked down eight three-pointers on the night, showing off the range that allowed her to average a team-high 15.3 points per game as a freshman. It was the third time that Sullivan has hit double figures in six games this season. She also scored 12 points in a win over Franklin before the holidays, including 10 points during Foxboro’s fourth quarter rally that ended the Panthers’ long league winning streak, and had a team-high 17 points in a win over Milford to open the season.

Sharon senior Dante James has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for the holiday period of Dec. 19 through Jan. 1. James is the 14th player chosen as Player of the Week for the 2022-23 school year and second in the winter season.

James has been integral to Sharon’s strong start to the season, which includes four straight wins. Over the two-week holiday period, James and the Eagles went 3-0 with the senior contributing big games on both ends of the floor. Sharon is currently 4-1 on the season and a game back of Mansfield in the league title race.

“Dante’s experience really helped us through a period with a lot of injuries and illness,” said Sharon coach Andrew Ferguson. “His ability to play multiple positions and guard multiple players has helped our offense and our defense. His ability to play passing lanes and cause turnovers allows our offense to start quickly.”

James scored eight points in the second game of the season, helping the Eagles hold off a Canton comeback. A couple of days later, he provided seven points, three assists, and a pair of steals in a big win over Milford. With the Eagles missing several players over the holidays, James stepped up his scoring punch to keep Sharon building momentum. He knocked down five three-pointers and scored a career-high 23 points against Plymouth North, along with eight rebounds and four steals. In the final game of 2022, James scored nine of his 16 points in the third quarter of a win over Holliston, adding six rebounds and eight steals. He is currently shooting 62 percent from beyond the arc.

Player of the Week: Colton Scheralis, Taunton Hockey

Taunton senior Colton Scheralis has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Dec. 12 through Dec. 18. Scheralis is the 13th player chosen as Player of the Week for the 2022-23 school year and first in the winter season.

Scheralis, one of only a handful of upperclassmen in Taunton’s program this season, has started the season with a scoring burst to help the young Tigers jump out to a 2-0 start. He scored two goals and had five assists last week, playing both as a forward and defenseman, depending on where the team needed him at that stage of the game.

“Colton played well in all three zones and was dominant at even strength, on power play, and shorthanded,” said Taunton coach Kris Metea. “His versatility playing forward and defense made him a threat at any moment this week.”

In the season opener against Peabody/Saugus, Scheralis had a hand in more than half of Taunton’s goals in a 7-3 victory. He finished the game with two goals and a pair of helpers to get the Tigers off to the perfect start to the year. Three days later, Scheralis showed off his play-making again in a non-league win over Attleboro. He assisted on three of his team’s four goals in the shutout of the Bombardiers. Scheralis is a plus-eight through two games and has yet to see a goal scored while he’s been on the ice.
