Franklin junior Sean O’Leary has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Feb. 12 through Feb. 18. O’Leary is the 21st player chosen as Player of the Week for the 2022-23 school year and ninth in the winter season.
O’Leary came through in the clutch in both games last week, helping the Panthers overcome a pair of upset bids and finish the league campaign with just one loss. The junior forward scored 17 points in each game, but the bulk of his production came down the stretch of each contest, coming through with big buckets in the fourth quarter for the Kelley-Rex division champs. O’Leary is the league’s leading scorer and has the Panthers at 17-1 on the season.
“Sean has been amazing this entire season and this past week was no different,” said Franklin head coach CJ Neely. “In both of our games he made huge plays down that stretch to score or set up his teammates and take over the final minutes in two big wins. He is such a great player and teammate.”
On Tuesday night, Franklin was given a stiff test at Attleboro. The Bombardiers slowed the tempo and made the Panthers work for every point, but O’Leary sparked a late 12-0 run that secured the victory. He had a pair of and-ones, kicked out of a double team for a Justin Allen three, and then buried a corner three to put Franklin ahead 37-30. After Attleboro cut the lead back to one, he assisted on another Allen three to seal the win. O’Leary finished with 17 points, eight rebounds, and four assists. Three days later, he was at it again, scoring 12 of his team-high 17 points in the fourth quarter against Milford to help the Panthers hold off the Hawks, making some big plays down the stretch while also recording eight boards and four assists.
