Emily Houle

Attleboro senior guard Emily Houle has been named the 2016 HockomockSports.com Girls Basketball Player of the Year, the fifth recipient in the site’s history and the first from Attleboro. The Bombardiers captain was also named the Hockomock MVP by the league’s coaches after leading Attleboro to within one game of its first Kelley-Rex division title.

“Emily has continued to grow as a player from her freshman year through to the end of her career and developed into one of the best scorers in the Hock,” said HockomockSports.com Managing Editor Josh Perry. “She was a leader for the team, someone who played hard on both ends of the court, and even when everyone knew she was getting the ball could find ways to score.”

Houle scored 15.1 points per game this season and eclipsed the 1,000-point plateau for her career, despite being sidelined for four games with a knee injury and hurting her thumb early in the season. She also pulled down more than seven rebounds per game, dished out three assists per game and had nearly three steals per game.

She did all that while shooting 35 percent from three-point range and 70 percent from the line. She scored more than 30 points in a game three times this season, highlighted by her 30-point performance against Davenport division champion Oliver Ames.

Attleboro coach Rick Patch said, “Emily has been a true student of the game over the past two seasons. She thrived in learning as much as she could fundamentally and strategically.”

Houle set Attleboro career marks in three-pointers made with 187 and also in games played with 87, while finishing with 1,025 career points.

Patch added, “Her leadership skills flourished and she became a great teammate, which has changed the culture of Attleboro girls basketball and and has made it an effort driven, selfless and fundamentally sound program.”

North Attleboro coach Derek Herber, whose team faced Houle twice this season, noted, “What makes her so tough is that she can do a little of everything.She can shoot from the outside but then has the slashing drive to the hoop game. She also can post up smaller players and can score with a a variety of moves.”

Houle was an honorable mention for this award and was named to the HockomockSports.com First Team in 2014-15, the only returning player from that group. She is the first Attleboro female athlete in any sport to earn Player of the Year distinction and only the second Attleboro athlete overall (Max Lancaster for baseball in 2014). Houle is also the second player from the Kelley-Rex to win Player of the Year, following Meg Ronaghan of North Attleboro who won in 2012-13.

Honorable Mentions: Sarah Deyo (Attleboro), Ashley Sampson (Foxboro), Alecia Quinones (Stoughton)

Stoughton senior Alecia Quinones lived up to her status as a player to watch this season by nearly leading the Black Knights to a playoff spot under first-year coach Charmaine Steele Jordan.

Quinones finished with 13.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, and four steals a game and announced her commitment to Rivier University, while being named an all-star by the league’s coaches.

 


Kayla RaymondKayla Raymond – Oliver Ames – Forward
Oliver Ames sophomore Kayla Raymond did not begin the season as a starter, but over the course of the season became one of the Tigers most important players and helped OA claim the Davenport division and Div. 2 South titles. Her basket in the final seconds against North Attleboro started the Tigers’ run in the South. For the season, Raymond led the Tigers with 10.7 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, while shooting 41 percent from the floor, 37 percent from three and 79 percent from the line.

 


Sarah DeyoSarah Deyo – Attleboro – Forward
Coming off a season in which she was named HockomockSports.com Underclassman of the Year, Attleboro junior Sarah Deyo had high expectations for this year but managed to exceed them. The forward was a dominant force on both ends of the floor and kept the Bombardiers in the title race during the injuries that plagued the team early in the season, including a triple-double against North. She averaged a double-double of 16.3 points and 10.6 rebounds per game and added 55 blocks. Deyo was also versatile enough to step outside and make 14 threes this year.

 


2016 HockomockSports Girls Basketball Awards


Jen PeelJen Peel – Mansfield – Guard
Mansfield junior guard Jen Peel helped lead the Hornets to the program’s second league title this season, while averaging 6.9 points, 5.6 assists, and more than two steals per game. In the Hornets controlled offense, Peel plays a primary role by making sure that everyone is in the right spots and making sure each of her teammates got their chances. She also had one of her biggest games of the season in the title-clinching win against Attleboro, scoring a game-high 18 points and adding five assists.

 


Lauren RudolphLauren Rudolph – Franklin – Guard
Franklin senior guard Lauren Rudolph put in a solid all-around season for the Panthers to help them finish in third place in the Kelley-Rex division and qualify for the playoffs before bowing out after a tough trip to Westford. Rudolph averaged 9.4 points per game this season, while also grabbing nearly four rebounds and four steals per game. Rudolph spearheaded Franklin’s pressure defense and flourished in the drive and kick offense that the Panthers favor. She has committed to play at Springfield College next year.

 


Cassidy HarrisonCassidy Harrison – Foxboro – Forward
After showing flashes of her ability the past two seasons, Foxboro senior Cassidy Harrison put together her most consistent season this winter to complement the talented underclassmen that joined her in the starting lineup. Harrison averaged 12.6 points per game and knocked down 40 threes over the course of the season. In the Div. 2 South quarterfinal against Falmouth, Harrison rescued the Warriors with a big three that forced overtime, sealing her reputation as a big game player for Foxboro.

 


Alyssa PiazzaAlyssa Piazza – Sharon – Forward
Sharon senior forward Alyssa Piazza had battled injuries that limited her time on the court over the past two seasons, but this year she was able to play 19 games and put together an all-star campaign. Piazza led the Eagles with 12.2 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, despite regularly facing double teams. Piazza was a consistent offensive threat for a team that struggled at times this year to score. She also chipped in with nearly two steals, one assist and one block per game for the Eagles.

 


Meg HillMeg Hill – Mansfield – Center
Mansfield sophomore center Meg Hill dominated the paint for the Kelley-Rex division champions and was a difference maker in some of the Hornets biggest games of the season, including a 15-rebound performance in the title decider against Attleboro. Hill led Mansfield with 9.7 points per game on 56 percent shooting from the floor. She also pulled down 9.5 rebounds and had 4.7 blocks per game. The scary part for the opposition is that there is still room for her game to develop and two more years of trying to contain the 6-foot-2 center.

 


2016 HockomockSports Girls Basketball Awards


Ashley AhernAshley Ahern – North Attleboro – Guard
North Attleboro junior Ashley Ahern almost decided to go to prep school this fall, but instead chose to come back to North, which was a happy return for the Rocketeers. Ahern led North with 10.6 points, 3.3 assists and three steals per game. Although far from the tallest player on the court, Ahern was also third on the team with 3.7 rebounds per game and recorded five blocks, as North returned to the Div. 2 South playoffs and nearly upset eventual South champ Oliver Ames on the road in the first round.

 


Jackie CarchediJackie Carchedi – Mansfield – Guard
Mansfield senior guard Jackie Carchedi was an all-around menace for the Kelley-Rex division champions this season. She was a standout player on the wing in the Hornets’ 2-3 zone, a solid rebounder from the guard position and always a threat to knock down a big shot from the outside. For her efforts, she was named the Hornets’ MVP by her teammates. Carchedi averaged 8.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, three assists and 2.8 steals per game this year and knocked down 21 threes over the course of the season.

 


Francesca CalabraroFrancesca Calabraro – Oliver Ames – Guard
Oliver Ames junior guard Francesca Calabraro was named a Hockomock all-star for the second season in a row after a consistently solid season for the Tigers that included a Davenport division and a Div. 2 South title and a trip to the TD Garden. Calabraro, who was named the league’s MVP in girls’ soccer this fall, started all 25 games for the Tigers and averaged 10.6 points per game and shot 35 percent from three. She also nabbed 3.8 steals and grabbed three rebounds per game.

 


Samantha PierceSamantha Pierce – Attleboro – Forward
Attleboro sophomore forward Sam Pierce emerged this season as a potential star for the Bombardiers and became the crucial third scoring option alongside Emily Houle and Sarah Deyo as Attleboro made a run at the league title. Pierce averaged 10.6 points and 9.3 rebounds per game this year and showed a diverse game that extended from the paint to the three-point line. She added nearly two assists, a steal, and a block per game and shot a very impressive 82 percent from the free throw line.

 


Aubrie KutilAubrie Kutil – Franklin – Forward
Franklin senior center Aubrie Kutil developed into a force in the paint for the Panthers this winter, the culmination of a strong four-year varsity career. Kutil led Franklin with 9.5 points per game, while shooting 52 percent from the floor. She added 7.4 rebounds per game and also showed off great vision and touch as a passer out of the post, which was the perfect fit for the Panthers style of offense. Kutil was named a Hockomock all-star by the league’s coaches for her play this season.

 


UnderclassmanoftheYear_AshleySampson
Foxboro sophomore guard Ashley Sampson has been named the 2016 HockomockSports.com Girls Basketball Underclassman of the Year, the fourth season that this award has been given out to the top freshman or sophomore in the league. Sampson is the second Foxboro player to win this award, following Kat Tamulionis in 2012-13.

Sampson averaged 15.1 points per game as the Warriors’ primary ball-handler and scorer, taking over the role that Tamulionis filled last season. Sampson also chipped in with 6.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists and scored in double digits in nearly all of her games this season.

“Coming into the season, Tamulionis left huge shoes to fill and Sampson stepped right into them almost seamlessly,” said HockomockSports.com Managing Editor Josh Perry. “Ashley plays like a senior, never seems to get flustered, and showed an array of skills from driving to the basket to stepping back to shoot from the outside to having the vision to find her open teammates.”

With Sampson leading the way, Foxboro, which at times this season started as many as four sophomores, finished second in the Davenport division and returned to the Div. 2 South quarterfinal.

Foxboro coach Lisa Downs said of Sampson, “She came off the bench as a freshman last year and showed that she could be an immediate impact player. However, this year, she knew the importance of people stepping up to fill the void that Kat had left behind – her goal always seems to be that she wants to make a difference in every game that she plays.”

She added, “Ashley works extremely hard on her game throughout the year and the hard work is paying off! She is a rarity, that’s for sure.”

Sampson is also the second Davenport player to win this award and fourth sophomore, as Mansfield’s Caroline Maher and Attleboro’s Sarah Deyo received the award the past two seasons.

Jackie Carchedi
Mansfield senior guard Jackie Carchedi has been named the 2016 HockomockSports.com Girls Basketball Defensive Player of the Year. Carchedi is the third player to earn this honor in the five seasons it has been awarded and the second player to win it in back-to-back seasons.

Carchedi continued to be a significant presence on the wing in Mansfield’s 2-3 zone and could be tasked to guard the best scorer on the opposition if the Hornets went to man-to-man. Her quickness and ability to read the game made her a threat in the passing lanes and allowed her to close out without allowing the drive into the paint. She averaged nearly three steals per game.

“It seemed like every time that Mansfield needed a play, Jackie was the one to make it,” said HockomockSports.com Managing Editor Josh Perry. “Whether it was the big rebound or the tip or steal or even laying out into the crowd to try and make a play, Jackie made a huge impact in every game.”

Mansfield coach Mike Redding said, “She was simply the best defender I’ve ever coached at Mansfield. Just so quick, smart and great instincts and played every possession like the game depended on getting a stop. Our team held opponents to 38 points a game (school record) and she was certainly a key to that accomplishment.”

Carchedi follows Franklin guard Tracey Pisani (2013-14) as the second straight Kelley-Rex division winner of this award and joins Stoughton center Nicole Daniels in winning it multiple times. Daniels won the award each of the first two seasons that it was handed out.

Coach of the Year – Elaine Clement-Holbrook, Oliver Ames

Laney Clement-HolbrookOliver Ames head coach Elaine Clement-Holbrook has been named the 2016 HockomockSports.com Girls Basketball Coach of the Year. It is the fifth season in a row that a Davenport division coach has won the award and the second time that Clement-Holbrook has received it (she was also named Coach of the Year in 2012-13).

Clement-Holbrook led the Tigers to a Davenport division title, her 17th as head coach at OA and sixth in the past eight seasons, and also to the Div. 2 South championship, which was the fifth time in her career that OA claimed that title.

In addition, Clement-Holbrook eclipsed the former state record with her 634th career victory. In 39 seasons as head coach at Oliver Ames, she has won an average of 16.5 games per season, including 21 this year.

“OA was expected to be a good team this year, but few would have foreseen that that the Tigers would be playing in the TD Garden,” said HockomockSports.com Managing Editor Josh Perry. “Laney’s passion and intensity for the game has never diminished and this team wanted to win for her and it showed in the way they all bought in on the defensive end.”

Perry added, “It is not hyperbole to say that Laney is a coaching legend, but despite all her accomplishments she is focused only on the next challenge and that has made OA a consistent force in the Hock.”

Clement-Holbrook follows Stoughton’s Janet Sullivan, Sharon’s Kate Horsmann, and Foxboro’s Lisa Downs as the winner of this award. She is the first two-time Coach of the Year in girls’ basketball.

Honorable Mentions: Rick Patch (Attleboro), Mike Redding (Mansfield), Charmaine Steele Jordan (Stoughton)
