Thursday’s Schedule & Scoreboard – 09/19/24

Today’s games are listed below.

Boys Soccer
Oliver Ames, 0 @ Attleboro, 0 – FinalOliver Ames dominated play, had a handful of quality scoring chances, and hit the woodwork three times but couldn’t get one past Attleboro senior keeper Jayden Ordmandy as the Tigers and Bombardiers finished scoreless at Tozier Cassidy Field. OA senior Jackson Mercieri hit the crossbar on a shot from distance and junior Nick Babanikas had his header clank the post in the first half. Senior Drew Hall also had a shot from inside the area hit off the post and stayed out in the second half. With OA pushing late, the Tigers had a couple of good looks but Ordmandy (eight saves) came up big to preserve the shutout. OA goalie Zack Gilson didn’t have to make a save in the shutout for OA.

North Attleboro, 1 @ Franklin, 3 – FinalFranklin scored three unanswered goals in the second half to overcome a halftime deficit against visiting North Attleboro. The Rocketeers claimed the lead with under three minutes left in the first half when Logan Shiner-McCracken latched onto a long ball from Patrick Etienvre, fending off a defender and cutting inside to finish from 12 yards out with his left. Franklin tied the game and took the lead in less than five minutes thanks to senior Garrett Scagliarini. The equalizer came in the 54th minute when Scagliarini placed a free kick from 25 yards out into the upper corner at the near post. Just three minutes later, Alex Connell made a darting run down the right sideline and sent in a low service that Scagliarini buried into the far corner with a one-timer. The Panthers got a key insurance goal with just under five minutes to go as Scaglarini’s flick off a throw in from Josh Rappa was knocked down in the area and cleaned up by senior center back Gabe Terry for his first career goal.

Canton, 0 @ Milford, 5 – FinalMilford jumped out to a lead just five minutes in and never looked back in a convincing 5-0 victory against visiting Canton. Danny Da Silva cleaned up a rebound after Gio Cappelli’s shot was denied to put the hosts up 1-0 early. Tiko Lourenco set up sophomore Bryan Ribeiro to double the lead as his deflected shot found the back of the net. The Hawks erupted for three goals in the second half as Gianelli Caccin scored off a corner (from Lourenco) for the second straight game, Da Silva returned the favor with a through ball to Cappelli to make it 4-0, and Matteus DeJesus capped the scoring after a free kick from Iuri Dias fell to his feet.

Stoughton, 6 @ Taunton, 3 – FinalStoughton junior Kyle Garrity scored his first career hat trick to lead the Black Knights to a big win on the road over Taunton. Cameron Wilson added a brace and Alex Kozak tallied once in the win.

Foxboro, 0 @ King Philip, 4 – Final Behind two goals in each half, King Philip broke out of its offensive funk and secured its first win of the season with a 4-0 win over Foxboro. Senior Colin Nolan notched a hat trick to spark the offense for the Warriors while Brad Lynn capped the scoring with KP’s fourth strike. Pranav Srinivasan had a pair of assists while Ben Cochran and Youseff Saad each had one helper in the win.

Mansfield, 2 @ Sharon, 2 – FinalClick here for a Photo Gallery from this match.Sharon stunned Mansfield with a pair of goals less than a minute apart in the first half but Mansfield rallied back with two goals in the second half, including the equalizer with just under two minutes to play. The Hornets seemed to have control for most of the first half of an hour of play but Sharon senior Owen Soby took a throw-in and deposited a shot into the back of the net to put the Eagles ahead in the 29th minute. Just seconds later, Soby battled his way to a ball in the box and was fouled, earning a penalty kick. Junior Diego Martinez calmly slotted a low shot in to give the Eagles the lead, 2-0, at half. Mansfield came back with two goals in the final 15 minutes of the game, first cutting the deficit in half when junior Dom Nassif cleaned up a rebound after senior Amro Hosny’s bid clanked off the crossbar and was ruled to have stayed out. With time ticking away, Mansfield senior Dylan Mullin delivered a long free kick from just beyond midfield that was flicked on in the box from Cooper Austin into the far corner to make it 2-2.

Girls Soccer
Attleboro, 0 @ Oliver Ames, 1 – FinalTaylor deVos finished from the penalty spot with eight minutes to play, lifting the Tigers to their second win of the season. In a tough, back-and-forth game, Emily Lopes was fouled in the box late in the second half and deVos stepped up to give OA the slim edge. Attleboro’s best chance came in the first half but Tatum O’Brien’s weaving run into the box was saved by OA keeper Janiya Matier.

Milford, 2 @ Canton, 1 – FinalMilford fell behind in the opening minute on Thursday, but the Hawks rallied and picked up the upset victory on the road, moving back over .500 on the season and eclipsing their 2023 win total after just five games. The Bulldogs jumped in front early when Gabriella Berardi scored her third goal in the past two games, assisted by Paige Sullivan. Milford was able to find a groove and started pressing the ball. A foul just outside the 18 gave the visitors the opportunity to get back into the game. Ava Baglione marked her first game back from a wrist injury by firing her free kick through the wall and past the keeper. Milford got the lead in the second half with a big switch of play to the right wing. Kayleigh Tourtellot played the ball back across goal and Kyla Nashawaty was on hand to tap it in. Canton continued to push for the final 20 minutes of the game, but the Hawks were able to hold on for their third win of the year.

King Philip, 1 @ Foxboro, 0 – FinalDani Lomuscio continued her torrid form at the start of the season, scoring with 10 minutes to play to lift KP to a win over a tenacious Foxboro effort. Lomuscio received a free kick from Ally Pochay and was able to flick it over Foxboro keeper Julia Luck, who had a big game to keep the game scoreless. Foxboro’s defense, including Mia Flanagan, Keira D’Arcy, Sophia Pacella, and Kailey Sullivan, put in a massive shift to keep KP off the board for 70 minutes.

Franklin, 3 @ North Attleboro, 1 – FinalKelly O’Connor scored twice and assisted a third to help Franklin maintain its unbeaten start to the season. The Panthers scored three times in the first half, with O’Connor getting a pair and assisting on a Vera Hansen goal. Claire Michel and Sophia Horton also recorded assists for the Panthers. North held Franklin scoreless in the second half and got its first goal of the season when Sydney Fortin notched her first varsity goal.

Sharon, 0 @ Mansfield, 4 – FinalClick here for a Photo Gallery from this match. Mansfield scored three times in the second half to pull away from visiting Sharon and earn the win in its first game at the newly renovated Alumni Field. Maddie Buckley got the first goal for the Hornets after just six minutes. Aly Fernandes won the ball back on the end line and dropped a pass back to Buckley who looped a shot inside the far post. The score stayed the same through halftime, but midway through the second half Mansfield struck again. Maddie Fernandes hit a perfect, line drive corner to the back post where Lyla Nappa rose highest and nodded home. Three minutes later, Fernandes got on the board herself when her lofted ball from the right wing eluded the keeper’s grasp and dropped over the line. Just four minutes later, Fernandes added her second of the night. Olivia Dunham’s free kick bounced around in the box and Fernandes was in the right spot to slot the loose ball into the bottom corner.

Taunton, 1 @ Stoughton, 1 – FinalTaunton equalized four minutes into the second half and Stoughton settled for its second straight 1-1 draw, keeping the Black Knights in a tie for first place atop the Davenport division. Makenzie O’Connor opened the scoring off an assist from freshman Sarah Janelli, but shortly after the break, Kaylee Lopes found the bottom right corner to tie the game. Marybel DoRosario picked up the assist. Stoughton’s forwards Bianca Casna, Laila Bernard, and Morgan O’Connor kept the pressure on Taunton’s back line, and Tigers keeper Ashlyn Hebert made 17 saves to preserve a point. Taunton nearly snatched the win with a pair of late chances that were inches wide. Tigers coach Dan Borges praised his team’s work ethic in a tough, physical match. Defenders Madison Crowley and Meaghan Cunningham and midfielder Ava Uhl each had big performances for the Tigers, while midfielders Morgan Cook and Lindsey Mitchell and defender Lauren Mitchell stood out for Stoughton.


Volleyball
Attleboro, 3 @ Franklin, 0 – FinalAttleboro prevailed in a very tight first set and used that momentum to run away with a 3-0 sweep (27-25, 25-14, 25-15) on the road against Kelley-Rex rival Franklin. It was a balanced offensive approach as the Bombardiers got strong performances at the net from Julia Leonardo (11 kills, 12 digs), Addie Shelton (12 kills), Olivia Leonardo (seven kills), and Ellie Shelton (five kills) while Haley Carter (24 assists, four aces) and Sophia Jaeger (nine assists) set everything in motion. Sage Young (22 digs) and Julia Mondello (seven digs) boosted the Bombardiers’ defense. Brooke Daniels dished out 18 assists to go along with 11 digs, and the Panthers got five kills apiece from Gianna Laurello, Emerson Delleo (seven digs), and Makayla Kuykendall (16 digs).

Foxboro, 2 vs. West Bridgewater, 3 – Final

Milford, 0 @ King Philip, 3 – FinalAfter suffering a heartbreaking five-set setback on Wednesday, King Philip bounced back in a big way with a 3-0 sweep (25-21, 25-12, 25-17) of visiting Milford. Seniors Fiona Bailey (nine kills), Jessica Hansen (seven kills), and Avery Reda (six kills) anchored the offense for the Warriors while senior Alex Pauline (18 digs) and junior Mya McCormick (10 digs) played well defensively.

Canton, 3 @ Oliver Ames, 2 – FinalIn a battle of Davenport division contenders and Hockomock heavyweights, Canton prevailed with a super tight five-set win over rival Oliver Ames (21-25, 25-20, 25-18, 17-15). “It was a great high school match against a very strong OA team,” relayed Canton head coach Pat Cawley. Senior Sally Hoban had one of the biggest games of her career with 23 kills along with 12 digs and two aces while Charlotte Clyve gave the Dogs a big boost with 12 kills and 11 digs. Chloe Dubuisson, MJ Robbins, and Ife Ajanaku were strong in the middle combining for 11 kills and seven blocks while junior Erin Bigham had a great all-around match with 41 assists, 13 digs, four kills, four blocks, and an ace. Soley Rodriguez Martinez and Melanie McDonough were both strong defensively and at the service line for Canton.

Attleboro goalie Siany Ortez-Amaya was busy in the net for the Bombardiers, making 19 saves while both Nile Kerr and Cassandra Fisante each had a defensive save.

2024 Hockomock League Golf Preview

2024 Hockomock League Golf Preview
 
By HockomockSports.com Staff

Home course advantage has always been a factor in Hockomock League golf, but this year more than ever, it could matter most.

The Kelley-Rex division looks to be a two-horse race with King Philip and Franklin vying for division supremacy while the Davenport has five legitimate contenders.

North Attleboro returns to the Davenport after the Hock’s most recent enrollment alignment and the Rocketeers could be the instant favorite in the division. Steve Nelson’s group features a lot of familiar faces and an influx of new talent has provided key depth in the lineup. North finished third in the Kelley-Rex last year and ended up eighth at Hocks without a golfer in the top 10. 

Three of those four Rocketeers are back to highlight this year’s roster: senior co-captains Tyson Laviano (37.1 average last year) and Ishan Kohli (39.6) along with junior Caiden Alberigo (39.1). That trio along with junior Matt Reilly (42.9) have a lot of experience playing at Heather Hill, where North went 6-2 last year with its only two losses to KP (by one stroke) and Franklin (by four strokes. Sophomores Evan Sawyer (42.6) and Thomas Manning have cracked into the North lineup while freshmen Maxx Zides and Lincoln Frisoli have impressed early and could be instant contributors. Seniors Cody Boutilier, Ryan Sawyer, and Sara Maciejewski will provide key depth and could factor into the scoring in any given match. 

If North is hoping to dethrone two-time Davenport champions Oliver Ames and fend off fellow challengers Canton, Foxboro, and Mansfield, getting wins on the road will be important, but that’s certainly easier said than done.

The Tigers went 6-0 against Hock teams at home last year at Pine Oaks and one of the biggest differences between first and second place was their early season win on the road at Blue Hill Country Club against Canton. Oliver Ames will feature a lot of new faces in the lineup this year in search of a three-peat after graduating all but one of their top golfers from last year. The good news is the one golfer back is senior Braden Shapiro, who took first place at the Hockomock League championship meet last year. 

Shapiro, a team captain, will be among the top golfers in the league and will look for some support from co-captain Jordan Diaz as well as seniors Colin Costello, Patrick Dolan, and Anthony Rhodes. Junior Brendan Teehan has varsity experience and should factor into the scoring in most matches while freshman Matthew Drohen could provide important scores right off the bat.

Canton took a step forward last year but finished in third place behind the Tigers and Hornets. With a strong group of golfers, the Bulldogs are aiming to throw their hat back into contention for the Davenport title, which they won five years in a row from 2017 to 2021. Senior Huck McCready has been a consistent top scorer over the past couple of seasons and will be joined by classmate and fellow Hock All Star Travis Thomas, giving Canton a strong 1-2 punch at the top. 

“Both have improved immensely since last season and look to again be top golfers on our team,” said Canton head coach Mike Barucci of his top duo. 

Juniors Teddy Shuman and Joey Ryan were both a part of the starting line a year ago and will be counted on to contribute to each match. Beyond that group, Barucci believes he has six to eight golfers that will battle it out for the remaining four spots in the lineup.

“A lot of new faces this year with a lot of talent should help us compete with anyone in the league,” Barucci said.

Mansfield came up just one match shy of repeating alongside Oliver Ames at the top of the Davenport. While losing some key starters to graduation the Hornets are intending to contend once again this year. Senior Brendan Vokey is a returning Hockomock League All Star and will rank among the top golfers in the league. Head coach Chris Hall is going to lean on his senior class to help set the tone, especially as his squad is on the road for five of its first six matches, including visits to division rivals OA, Canton, and Foxboro. 

“This year’s team is fun to be around,” Hall said. “The majority of them are multi-sport athletes, primarily playing hockey in the winter. Noah Kahan’s hit “Stick Season” must have really motivated the hockey team to continue their ways in the fall. They are determined and know how to win. We are extremely excited to get the season underway and look forward to competing in one of the toughest conferences in the state.”

Senior Declan Foley, one of the top defensemen in the league on the ice, is joined by captain Hayden O’Connor, who has four years of varsity experience, along with Enzo Simonelli and newcomer Thomas Gormley, who could make an instant impact. Junior Chase McDonald and sophomores Chase Jordan, Owen Adams, Gavin Garnett, Austin Ferlazzo, Eddie Kiernan, and Anthony Diieso will all look to contribute throughout the season. 

The dark horse in the Davenport race could be Foxboro. Fresh off an impressive third-place finish at Hocks last year, the Warriors return the majority of their lineup after graduating just two seasons. On top of that, Foxboro might have the best home course advantage as they play at the always-challenging Foxboro Country Club.

Junior Zac Georgantas had a breakout season a year ago that culminated in a second-place finish at Hocks, just one shot off the lead at Thorny Lea. That momentum carried into the spring and summer as Georgantas made it to match play in the Mass Junior Amateur Championship in addition to winning the Foxboro Country Club Championship. His experience, especially at home, will help make the Warriors a threat in the division. 

Captains Dan Jacobs and Ryan Wood will lead the way alongside Georgantas and that duo has been consistent scorers in the past. The addition of four freshman and junior transfer Colin Trimble has bolstered the depth for Foxboro. 

Rounding out the Davenport, Stoughton will look to make some strides forward under second-year head coach Ryan Kilday. The Black Knights have one of the most challenging schedules, playing each of the five Davenport teams twice along with a visit to two-time Kelley-Rex champion Franklin. Stoughton sophomore Gavin Alexson is back after a strong rookie year and will be a key contributor throughout the year along with fellow captains Fred Spintig and Aidan Lewis. Lewis has joined the squad this year and has made a strong impression early. Freshman Kyle Bunker and Major Harding headline a strong group of freshmen that will help carry Stoughton in the right direction. 

In the Kelley-Rex division, there’s been very little separation between rivals Franklin and King Philip at the top. Two years ago, the squads each won at each other’s course and ended up splitting the title; last year they split with each team winning at home but a late slip from KP at Milford handed the Panthers their second straight crown. 

Franklin has a strong senior class looking to make it three in a row this fall. Seniors Liam Lewandowski and Caden Sullivan are the Panthers’ top duo, both talented and consistent players who don’t have many if any weaknesses out on the course. The senior class is complemented by Jack Nelson, who finished in the top 10 at Hocks last year, as well as Cameron LaBrie to give Franklin four seniors who will likely score in most matches. Depth will be key for first-year head coach Dan “Bo” Botelho, who comes to Franklin with a boatload of experience in the game including as an assistant at Brown University. Senior Carter Balducci, juniors Rocco Lampasona and Dylan O’Brien, and sophomore Tyler Perlman will all contribute for the Panthers while sophomore newcomer Ben Burgess is one to keep an eye on. 

“I am extremely excited about my team and the upcoming season,” Botelho said. “We have a great mix of seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen who all will have a chance to contribute this year.”

King Philip is eager to get back to the top of the division and is already off to a strong start, setting a new team course record at Stone-E-Lea in Attleboro in the opening match of the season. The Warriors took third at Hocks last year and have three of their top four golfers back hoping to improve on that finish. Two-time Hock All Star Evan Regan is poised for a big year after showing improvement in each of the last two years and senior Cam Hasenfus, who was a league all star in 2022, is a consistent scorer in the lineup. Junior Jason Silva had a terrific sophomore year after averaging 38.3 and should be a major factor.

Beyond that returning trio, King Philip will feature some new faces but head coach Myles McHugh has been very pleased with the hard work the golfers have put in during the high school offseason. With six players averaging under 40 in the preseason, there’s a lot of internal competition that could propel KP to the top. 

“Every school on both sides of the Hock continues to improve,” McHugh said. “After our first full week of tryouts it is obvious that the underclassmen put a lot of work in the offseason.”

Milford had a very strong year, one of their best since joining the Hock, but will look to some new faces in 2024. The Hawks graduated a talented senior class, including three of their four top golfers who competed at Hocks. The lone returner from that group is senior captain Zach Hipolito, who will look to use his short game to help keep the Hawks in contention. Senior captains David Fleming and Robbie DeGasperis are two other returners from last year and will be looking to lead the way throughout the 2024 campaign. Senior Sean Prevelige and sophomore Lucas Richard round out the small group of returners for the Hawks, who will look to newcomers senior Joe Butler, junior Ricky Nashawaty, and sophomores Ryan Flis and Luke Fraunfelter to contribute to the scoring. 

Sharon is new to the Kelley-Rex division and boasts a young team with just three seniors. That means some inexperience early on, especially as the Eagles travel to some courses that none of the golfers have played on yet. After losing six starters, it’s a bit of a reset but head coach Thor Van Vaerenewyck will lean on senior co-captains Josh Binder and Ethan Spracino, who both picked up some valuable playing experience last year. Juniors Benny Hertzel and Shaun Fireman have impressed early on this preseason while sophomores Kuvum Suppal and Sarah Scappaticci will look to build on some of their varsity experience from last year and become consistent contributors. 

Attleboro and Taunton are both looking to build in the right direction but enter the year with opposite rosters. The Bombardiers lost five players from last year with just a handful of returners, highlighted by senior captain Chris McMahon and senior Jacob Bettencourt. Head coach Mark Bonneau will lean heavily on that duo while senior Matt Silva and juniors Cam Elliott and Tyler Veronesi have the potential to take the next step forward to help the Bombardiers compete. Meanwhile, the Tigers only graduated one player from the roster so the goal is to have an improved season. An influx of new players has helped create some depth and some internal competition, and head coach Brad Koneski has two solid leaders in senior captains Alex Dias and Noah Faidell, who both competed at Hocks last year.
