Foxboro senior Ryan Kelley has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Feb. 23 through March 1. Kelley is the 25th athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2024-25 school year and 11th in the winter season.
Kelley came through with a big double-double in Foxboro’s Div. 3 state tournament opening round win over Stoneham on Thursday night. He scored 14 points and pulled down 14 rebounds (six of them on the offensive glass), as the Warriors secured a spot in the Sweet Sixteen for the first time since the new statewide format was introduced.
“Ryan played an incredible game against Stoneham,” said Foxboro head coach Jon Gibbs, “He’s always a reliable shooter, but he took it to another level with his rebounding and defense. He made countless winning hustle plays that set the tone for our team to get a huge state tournament win.”
Against a Stoneham team that was much better than its No. 44 seed would indicate (its record was affected by forfeits from early in the season), Kelley put together a terrific all-around performance to help the Warriors pick up the win. Battling against Stoneham’s 6-foot-7 center Tony Dean, Kelley made several notable hustle plays, including a big offensive rebound that allowed Foxboro to grab the lead before halftime. He also grabbed an offensive board off a missed free throw that turned into a three-point play to extend the lead early in the second half. Kelley also knocked down the dagger, Foxboro’s only three of the second half, that put the Warriors up by 12 with just five minutes to play. Foxboro will travel to No. 5 Greater Lawrence Tech in the next round.
