Oliver Ames senior Luke Fernald has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Nov. 23 through Nov. 29. Fernald is the 13th athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2025-26 school year.
Fernald closed out his high school football career with a flourish on Thanksgiving Day, accounting for four touchdowns in OA’s 36-22 win over Sharon. He went 18-for-32 for 215 yards with three touchdown passes (and a two-point conversion) and rushed for one as well, helping the Tigers come from a point down at the start of the second half and finish the season on a high note. For the season, he had 1,702 yards with 20 total touchdowns (18 passing, 2 rushing).
“Luke kept the team in the game during the first half with touchdown passes of 57 and 13 yards while accounting for a 7-yard touchdown rush,” said Oliver Ames head coach John Sperrazza. “OA finished with over 400 yards of offense under Luke’s direction. Luke has been the leader of our offense all season. A tireless work ethic and strong leader.”
Fernald got the scoring started with a 57-yard pass to Ryan Loring. Sharon answered right back and took an 8-7 lead, but Fernald capped another scoring drive for the Tigers with an eight-yard rush. The game went back and forth, as Sharon responded with a touchdown to tie it up. Fernald fired a 13-yard TD to Jack Giovanello to put OA in front, but the Eagles would get the score back and tacked on the conversion to make it 22-21 at halftime. After Desahn Walker restored OA’s lead, Fernald completed a pass to Aiden Dale for the two-point conversion. In the fourth quarter, Fernald sealed the OA win with a 12-yard pass to Jacob Melton.
