Franklin senior Wyatt Herndon has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Oct. 7 through Oct. 13. Herndon is the sixth athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2024-25 school year.
Herndon came up with goals in both of Franklin’s games this week, which was the biggest week of the season so far for the Panthers. Franklin hosted Sharon to start the week, and the Eagles entered the game at the top of the Kelley-Rex division. To wrap up the week, Franklin traveled to Mansfield, who was sitting at the top of the Davenport going into the game.
“Coming into the year, we expected Wyatt to be a consistent scoring threat and a key part of our attack,” said first-year Franklin head coach Nick Goldman. “Even though he had a slower start to the season in terms individual statistics, he has been a consistent leader and has worked extremely hard for us all year. As a team we knew this would be a big week for us and Wyatt certainly delivered with two key goals against Sharon and the game winner in the final minutes against Mansfield.”
In the statement win over the Eagles, Herndon scored a pair of goals to help Franklin land a 4-0 win. Moments after goalie Casey Flynn stopped a penalty kick, a failed clearance fell to Herndon at the top of the area and he quickly deposited a shot past the keeper to make it 3-0. Just two minutes later, Herndon got in behind the defense after a service from classmate Matt Honekamp and confidently slid one past the oncoming keeper. On the road in Mansfield, the Hornets netted an equalizing goal with just over 10 minutes to go to make it 1-1 but Herndon was able to get a pass from Connor Mason first, poking it past the keeper for the game-winner with just minutes left in a 2-1 victory.
