Milford senior Michael Boulanger has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Feb. 17 through Feb. 23. Boulanger is the 24th athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2024-25 school year and 10th in the winter season.

The Duke University commit continued his unbeaten season (47-0) by winning the Div. 2 state title at 157 pounds and helped the Hawks run away with a third D2 team championship in the past four seasons. This added to Milford’s fifth straight Kelley-Rex title and its second straight team title at the Hockomock Wrestling Championships.

“Mikey has had a dominant senior season heading into All States,” said Milford head coach PJ Boccia. “He is one of Milford’s all-time best wrestlers and is an exceptional scholar-athlete. He will be continuing his academic and wrestling career at Duke University next year. ”

Boulanger was the top seed entering the D2 state meet at Salem High. He made quick work of all four matches to win his second consecutive state title. Boulanger won by tech fall (19-3) over his first opponent from Bridgewater-Raynham (which finished second to Milford in the team standings). He earned a pin over his opponent from Minnechaug (which edged the Hawks to win last year’s D2 team title) and then dominated his semifinal match, beating the wrestler from Marblehead/Swampscott 15-0. Boulanger led second-seed Marco Albanese of Melrose 9-2 in the final before ending the match with a pin in just over a minute. For his career, he is 177-23 overall, a three-time sectional champion, and Milford’s first-ever three-time state champion.
