Player of the Week: Addyson Smock, Oliver Ames Volleyball

Addyson Smock
 
By HockomockSports.com Staff

Oliver Ames senior Addyson Smock has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Nov. 11 through Nov. 17. Smock is the 11th athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2024-25 school year.

Smock recorded double-digit kills in each round of the state tournament, helping the Tigers make history by reaching the program’s first ever Div. 2 final. The University of Alabama-Birmingham-commit set a career-high for kills in the title game, as OA gave top seed Westboro a battle over four sets before the Rangers eventually claimed their third straight championship.

“Addyson was a focal point in our team dynamic — offensively and defensively,” said Oliver Ames head coach Chelsea Cunningham. “She was a force on the net through every match and brought the intensity and power throughout every game in the postseason. Without her, we would not have been in the position we were throughout the tournament…and it showed as she made every moment count through her.”

In the playoff opener against Grafton, OA (the No. 2 seed in D2) started with a dominant sweep of Grafton, despite missing a pair of starters. Smock had 10 kills in the win. In the Sweet Sixteen against Burlington, Smock had a dozen kills and four blocks, as the Tigers added another sweep. Against Longmeadow in the quarterfinal, Smock had 17 kills and four blocks to help the Tigers get past the previously unbeaten Lancers and book a place in their first Final Four.

At Framingham in the state semifinal, OA faced another unbeaten team, Billerica, that was fresh off a win against Canton in the last round. The Tigers survived a battle in the second set, before a dominant third clinched 3-0 victory over the Indians. Smock finished the match with 12 kills and a pair of blocks to help the playoff run continue. In the final against Westboro, OA got off to a tough start against the two-time defending champs but started to get Smock more involved in the second set, taking it 25-18. This was the third Hock opponent for the Rangers in a state final (King Philip in 2022 and Canton last year) and the first time they had dropped a set. OA gave Westboro all it could handle over the next two sets, just missing out on forcing it to five. Smock was the star for the Tigers. She set a new career-best with 20 kills and was a force on the block as well.

Player of the Week: Dylan Mullin, Mansfield Soccer

Mansfield senior Dylan Mullin has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Nov. 4 through Nov. 10. Mullin is the 10th athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2024-25 school year.

Mullin put together a stellar performance on Saturday night at Alumni Field, scoring twice and dishing out three assists to help the Hornets run away with a 7-2 win against No. 18 Longmeadow and reach the Div. 2 quarterfinal. The senior winger was a constant threat all night against the Lancers, as Mansfield upped its total to 12 goals scored in two playoff games and broke the program’s record for goals scored in a season (62, previous was 56).

“His performance this week was unbelievable,” said Mansfield head coach Steve Sheridan. “He played with a passion that I haven’t seen in a very long time. Last week he did something at practice that I didn’t like and called him out on it and for ‘not having any passion for the game’ — I believe that his performance this week was to prove me wrong, and I love when the boys prove me wrong!”

After playing well during Mansfield’s 5-0 win over Hopkinton in the first round, Mullin, who led the team in points during the regular season (three goals and 14 assists) was practically unstoppable on the right side against the Lancers. Just seven minutes into the match, his in-swinging corner was headed home by Cooper Austin for an early lead. Midway through the first half, Mullin danced past a couple of Longmeadow defenders and curled a shot inside the far post to double the lead.

In the second half, Mansfield scored five goals to pull away. Less than 10 minutes after the break, Mullin played a one-two with Amro Hosny and got to the end line on the right. His low cross was turned in by Dominic Nassif. A minute later, Mullin nearly had his brace but the shot caromed off the bar. Two minutes after Longmeadow made it 4-2, Mullin drew and scored a penalty to restore the three-goal lead. In the 64th minute, he added a third assist, starting his run at midfield and eluding multiple Lancers, Mullin slipped a through ball into the path of Nassif, who completed his hat trick to make it 6-2.

Player of the Week: Shannon Lane, Canton Field Hockey

Canton sophomore Shannon Lane has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Oct. 28 through Nov. 3. Lane is the ninth athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2024-25 school year.

Lane continued her impressive sophomore campaign with a hat trick in Canton’s dominant win over Bishop Stang that kicked off the Div. 2 playoffs. The Hockomock League’s leading scorer in the regular season with 42 goals and 20 assists to help the Bulldogs win the Davenport division title and put up 115 goals as a team (second in the Hock behind only Franklin’s 125 goals).

In Saturday’s tournament opener, Canton asserted itself right from the opening whistle, scoring four times in the opening quarter. Lane got the first goal of the day, and the eventual winner, just 2:22 into the game, beating a pair of defenders and sliding a shot past the goalie. She added the third goal with a nice reverse and then completed her hat trick with 3:30 left in the game, finishing off a centering pass from Carolyn Schiavo to seal an emphatic win for the Bulldogs, who will face the winner of Dartmouth and Doherty in the Sweet Sixteen.

Player of the Week: Emilia Smith, Attleboro Cross-Country

Emilia Smith
 
By HockomockSports.com Staff

Attleboro senior Emilia Smith has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Oct. 21 through Oct. 27. Smith is the eighth athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2024-25 school year.

Smith put in a dominant performance on Saturday morning at the Wrentham Developmental Center, winning the girls title at the annual Hockomock Cross-Country Championships in a time of 17:59.7, which was more than 20 seconds faster than the second-place finisher. With Smith leading the way, Attleboro, which finished third in the Kelley-Rex during the dual meet season, took fourth overall with 124 points.

“Emilia had one goal this season and that one goal was to finish first at Hocks,” said Attleboro head coach Erin Bailey. “She was able to accomplish this by working hard during the regular season.”

One of several favorites coming into the league meet, Smith grabbed the lead early in the race and led almost from the start. She started to pull away from the pack, including North Attleboro’s Molly Galgoczy (18:20.0), Taunton’s Emersyn DePonte (18:35.9), and Canton’s Lauren Raffeto (18:54.7), with about a mile to go, building a sizable margin by the finish line. Smith, who finished second in 2023, was the lone female runner to break the 18-minute mark, bettering her time from last year by almost a minute. She is just the second female runner since 2016 to finish in under 18 minutes, joining Katie Sobieraj of Oliver Ames who finished in a time of 17:54.5 in 2022.

Player of the Week: Zac Georgantas, Foxboro Golf

Zac Georgantas
 
By HockomockSports.com Staff

Foxboro junior Zac Georgantas has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Oct. 14 through Oct. 20. Georgantas is the seventh athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2024-25 school year.

Georgantas delivered his best round of the season last Thursday in the Hockomock Golf Championship at Wentworth Hills Country Club. He carded a five-under-par 66 to earn medalist honors and powered the Warriors, who also won a share of their first league crown in more than decade, to the team title. Foxboro finished with a team total of 217, five strokes better than second-place Canton. The day before, he won the individual title at the MIAA Division 2 South sectional tournament at Segregansett Country Club.

On top of his tremendous performances last week, Georgantas kicked this week off his style. After a long trip to Taconic Golf Club in Williamstown, Georgantas won the Division 2 state championship after a playoff.

“He’s probably one of the most complete players I’ve been around,” said Foxboro head coach Paul LaCerda. “He’s strong in all parts of his game, he doesn’t have a weakness. And his mental strength, the ability to maintain that equilibrium is impressive. He’s never out of a match, that’s a credit to him for being such a great player.”

After finishing the front nine at 1-under at Hocks with back-to-back birdies on four and five, Georgantas caught fire after the turn, shooting 4-under and finishing three strokes better than North Attleboro’s Tyson Laviano, who also had a terrific round at 2-under par; they were the only two golfers to shoot under par for the day. Georgantas made eight birdies in his round with five coming in a six hole stretch between the 10th and 15th holes. For the season, Georgantas was fourth in the league with an average round of 36.2 (third in average above par at 0.6).

At the Division 2 sectional tournament, Georgantas once again used a strong back nine to propel to the top of the leaderboard. He was one-over par on the front nine but had four birdies on the back nine to finish at 71 (one under) for the day, one stroke ahead of Norton’s Shawn Clary.

Player of the Week: Wyatt Herndon, Franklin Soccer

Wyatt Herndon
 
By HockomockSports.com Staff

Franklin senior Wyatt Herndon has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Oct. 7 through Oct. 13. Herndon is the sixth athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2024-25 school year.

Herndon came up with goals in both of Franklin’s games this week, which was the biggest week of the season so far for the Panthers. Franklin hosted Sharon to start the week, and the Eagles entered the game at the top of the Kelley-Rex division. To wrap up the week, Franklin traveled to Mansfield, who was sitting at the top of the Davenport going into the game.

“Coming into the year, we expected Wyatt to be a consistent scoring threat and a key part of our attack,” said first-year Franklin head coach Nick Goldman. “Even though he had a slower start to the season in terms individual statistics, he has been a consistent leader and has worked extremely hard for us all year. As a team we knew this would be a big week for us and Wyatt certainly delivered with two key goals against Sharon and the game winner in the final minutes against Mansfield.”

In the statement win over the Eagles, Herndon scored a pair of goals to help Franklin land a 4-0 win. Moments after goalie Casey Flynn stopped a penalty kick, a failed clearance fell to Herndon at the top of the area and he quickly deposited a shot past the keeper to make it 3-0. Just two minutes later, Herndon got in behind the defense after a service from classmate Matt Honekamp and confidently slid one past the oncoming keeper. On the road in Mansfield, the Hornets netted an equalizing goal with just over 10 minutes to go to make it 1-1 but Herndon was able to get a pass from Connor Mason first, poking it past the keeper for the game-winner with just minutes left in a 2-1 victory.

Player of the Week: Autumn Simon, Sharon Soccer

Autumn Simon
 
By HockomockSports.com Staff

Sharon senior Autumn Simon has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Sept. 30 through Oct. 6. Simon is the fifth athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2024-25 school year.

Simon scored all five of Sharon’s goals last week, leading the Eagles to a pair of important league wins and keeping them in the mix for a playoff spot. The Babson College-commit started the season playing center back but, because of injuries and illnesses, was moved up top last week and delivered a hat trick and a brace to improve Sharon’s record to 4-5-0.

“All season long, and really her whole high school career, Autumn has stepped up to give what the team needs of her,” said Sharon coach Becca Kemp. “At the start of the season that was playing center back, when she was a freshmen she played keeper for several games, and this week it was putting points on the scoreboard. Without those goals and her overall leadership this week, our team would be in a very different position regarding playoffs.”

On Monday, Sharon secured a 3-1 win over Attleboro on its home grass. Simon scored all three for the Eagles, including a pair of goals in the opening 10 minutes to take control of the match. After Attleboro cut the deficit in half, Simon scored again to seal the win. Two days later, at Foxboro, the Eagles trailed the Warriors 1-0 at halftime but turned things around after the break. Simon scored twice in a little more than a minute to put the Eagles in front. Her first came after a long ball from the back that she took down impressively, before spinning back onto her right foot and firing an unstoppable shot into the top corner. The second came after an Olivia Landstein interception, with Simon holding off her marker in the box, chopping the ball back onto her left foot, and coolly sliding a shot past the keeper. The Eagles currently sit at No. 27 in Div. 2.

North Attleboro senior Chase Frisoli has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Sept. 23 through Sept. 29. Frisoli is the fourth athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2024-25 school year.

Frisoli had a big week, as Big Red opened league play with a dominating win over Oliver Ames. The senior quarterback accounted for five touchdowns, including one on the ground and four through the air, all in the first half as North scored 51 points and continued its perfect start to the season.

“Chase has been a terrific captain and leader of our offense this season,” North Attleboro coach Mike Strachan said. “He is a dynamic player that can make plays with his arm and feet. He has great command of the offense and has made big plays for us all year.”

North’s offense exploded for 51 points on Friday night. Frisoli kicked things off with a 12-yard rushing score and added two more TDs through the air in the opening quarter. He hit Bryce Kiser for a 69-yard touchdown and, following a safety, found Ryan Bannon for a 26-yard score. In the second quarter, Frisoli connected on two more touchdown passes. The first was a 22-yarder to Conor Casey and the other was a 68-yarder to Kiser. Frisoli was 7-of-8 for 278 yards on the day. North now leads the league in most points scored (162) and fewest points allowed (28).

Stoughton senior Reagan Lewis has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Sept. 16 through Sept. 22. Lewis is the third athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2024-25 school year.

Lewis had a dominant week at the net for the Black Knights. She recorded 40 kills in two matches, helping Stoughton pick up a pair of key victories, move back to .500 in league play, and build momentum before the Black Knights head into a stretch of matches against some of the Hock’s top teams.

“There was something different about her swing this past week and she was swinging with power rather than playing it safe,” said Stoughton head coach Tricia Lewis. “The amount of work she puts in really paid off for her and I hope she continues to show the teams in the Hock her ability to compete against any team.”

Stoughton started the week with a visit from Taunton. Lewis, a Regis College-commit, set a new career high with 29 kills in the four-set win. She also chipped in with three aces, as the Black Knights got back in the win column. In the opening set, Lewis set the tone with 14 kills in the first set. On Friday, Stoughton went on the road and swept Foxboro. Lewis again paced the offense with 11 kills and put in a solid all-around game to secure the win. For the week, she helped the Knights to two wins with 40 kills, 26 digs, and seven aces.

Franklin senior Raena Crandall has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Sept. 9 through Sept. 15. Crandall is the second athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2024-25 school year.

Crandall scored five times and dished out one assist last week, bringing her point total to 11 for the season, as the Panthers rolled to two more league wins. Franklin is now unbeaten in 82 straight Hockomock League games dating back to 2018 and has outscored opponents 28-0 through its first four games. Crandall already has 10 goals and an assist this fall.

“Raena is a highly skilled player who uses her stick skills and speed to get by defenders,” said Franklin head coach Michelle Hess. “Raena has a variety of shots that she uses to keep opposing goalies guessing and her reverse sweep and chip shot are very strong and accurate. I predict another big year for Raena this season and I’m excited to witness her accomplish her goals.”

After starting the season with two goals, including the game-winner in a 6-0 win over Oliver Ames and following that up with a pair of goals in a dominating win over Kelley-Rex rival King Philip. On Tuesday, Crandall and the Panthers kept it rolling against Foxboro with a 7-0 victory in the battle of defending league champs. Crandall assisted on Haley Wernig’s first quarter opener and added an unassisted goal in the fourth to help the Panthers pull away from the Warriors. Two days later, Crandall scored four times to help Franklin beat Taunton 8-0. She opened the scoring (her second game-winner of the season) in the first and added a pair of unassisted goals in the second. Crandall scored her fourth in the third quarter.
