Milford junior Aidan Baum has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Jan. 22 through Jan. 28. Baum is the 19th player chosen as Player of the Week for the 2023-24 school year and sixth in the winter season.
Baum (35-3 this season) won the individual title at 144 pounds at this weekend’s Hockomock League Wrestling Championships, held at Foxboro High. He was one of five Hawks to win their respective weight class, helping Milford win the team title at the tournament, which was restored this winter after switching to a different format for several seasons, with 233.5 points. That was seven points better than Taunton in second.
“Since moving up to 144 from 113 pounds last year, Aidan is wrestling with high energy and physicality,” said Milford head coach PJ Boccia. “He is constantly looking to score and stays on the offense all match. He is a junior captain who leads by example and he is wrestling at his best as we near the postseason.”
Baum, a junior captain, won his 100th career match earlier this season (118-14 career record), as Milford rolled to a fourth straight Kelley-Rex dual meet title. On Saturday, he entered the league championships as the top seed at 144 pounds and dominated all three of his matches to win the title. He took down Joseph Brucato of North Attleboro 13-0 in the first round, beat fourth seed John Mandeville of Taunton 13-3 in the semifinals, and then defeated second seed Max Kupferman of Canton 17-1 in the final. Baum was joined by Derek Marcolini (113), Robby Lyons (126), Michael Boulanger (138), and Tony Dew (285) as Milford winners. For his career, he’s a two-time state finalist and a two-time sectional finalist. This was Milford’s first team title at the league meet.
