Foxboro senior Lincoln Moore has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Nov. 27 through Dec. 3. Moore is the 13th player chosen as Player of the Week for the 2023-24 school year.

Moore capped off his three-year varsity career with a standout performance on Friday night in the Div. 5 Super Bowl against top seed Hanover at Gillette Stadium. The senior linebacker made plays all over the field for the Warriors, including a crucial red zone interception and a rushing touchdown, as Foxboro rolled to a 48-21 victory and its first state title since 2006.

“Lincoln’s performance in the Super Bowl personified his entire three-year career as a starting linebacker,” said Foxboro coach Jack Martinelli. “He amassed 316 tackles to establish a program record, while entrusted with the responsibility of making all the front adjustments. One of the best that Foxboro has ever had.”

Foxboro fell behind 7-0 but scored the next 28 points to get control. After giving up the touchdown on the opening drive, the Warriors clamped down defensively, with Moore leading the way. Notably, he sniffed out a screen pass on third down, making the tackle in the backfield to force a punt. The punter skewed his kick, which Foxboro recovered deep in Hanover territory and two plays later scored a TD. With less than 30 seconds left in the first half, Moore went over the top of the pile for a one-yard rushing score that put Foxboro up 35-14. Hanover tried to get back into the game early in the third quarter, but on second down from the Foxboro 15, Moore read a slant on the outside and picked off a pass to end the Hawks drive. He finished the game with 11 tackles, including two for a loss.
