Taunton senior Travis Johnson has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for April 28 through May 4. Johnson is the 33rd athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2024-25 school year and sixth in the spring season.

Johnson has been instrumental in Taunton’s terrific start to the season. The outside hitter leads the team in kills, as the Tigers have started 10-1, have won eight straight matches, avenged their lone loss with a sweep of league rival Milford, and clinched at least a share of the inaugural Hockomock League boys volleyball title.

“Travis is a quiet kid off the court but a tiger on the court,” said Taunton head coach Toby Chaperon. “He plays hard at all times and is someone we lean on heavily to be a force in every way and to also be a leader.”

Taunton started a three-match week with a visit from Milford to the Rabouin Field House. Johnson delivered at the net, with 15 kills and six blocks. He had 13 kills over the first two sets to help the Tigers jump out to a 2-0 lead and had four blocks in the third to help Taunton rally and complete the sweep. The following day, Johnson again led the Taunton attack, recording 19 kills, two aces, and three blocks in a four-set win against Barnstable. Two days later, Taunton completed a perfect week with a sweep of King Philip. Johnson added 15 kills and two more blocks to help the Tigers clinch a share of the program’s and the league’s first boys volleyball title.
