Franklin junior Julia Flynn has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Jan. 1 through Jan. 7. Flynn is the 16th player chosen as Player of the Week for the 2023-24 school year and third in the winter season.
Flynn continues to be one of the best attacking threats in the Hockomock League and she lifted the Panthers to a big league win over rival King Philip this week. It was her third straight game with at least two points and second game in a row that she scored the game-winner as Franklin got back to .500 in league play.
“Julia’s been amazing,” said Franklin coach Mike Lubin after the win over KP. “She’s a captain this year and I’ve just been so impressed. She leads by example 100 percent.”
Flynn started her scoring run over the holiday break. She scored a hat trick in a tough 4-3 loss to Leominster, finding the back of the net shorthanded, on the power play, and even strength. A couple days later, she had a hand in both goals as the Panthers bounced back with a 2-0 win over Weymouth. Flynn scored the opener with a nice move up the boards and assisted Haley Wernig’s empty net goal to seal the victory. On Saturday afternoon against KP, Flynn was a constant menace, repeatedly testing Warriors goalie Kiki Lynch. In the first period, Flynn got a touch on Maddie O’Brien’s shot to score the opener. O’Brien would score twice on the power play, both coming on rebounds of Flynn shots. In OT, Flynn fired Franklin to the win. She moved from left to right across the zone and roofed a forehand wrister to close out a four-point game and a 4-3 win.
