Hockomock Wrestling: Milford Wins Second Straight D2 Title
By HockomockSports.com Staff
Milford extended its run at the top of Division 2 as the Scarlet Hawks rolled to their second straight state championship and fourth in the last five years over the weekend. Milford sent five wrestlers to the finals and had two individual state champs for 157.5 points, well ahead of second place West Springfield (105.5).
The Hockomock League was well represented across the three divisions with seven total state champions and 20 wrestlers total that placed in the top three in their respective divisions. Brayden Boccia was the top seed in the 126 bracket and rolled through the competition with four pins to win the D2 state title, a year after finishing second. Teammate Ryan Flis was the surprise of the tournament, entering the 144 as the 12-seed before pulling off upset after upset all the way to a third period pin in the finals to win the state title.
Franklin’s John Woodall continued his dominance and earned his second Division 1 state championship. The sophomore earned three pins to book a spot in the final and then had a commanding 13-2 major decision over second-seeded Antoine Jackman of Greater Lowell in the finals to win the 113 crown. Sharon’s Cyrus Jones had two pins sandwiched around a tech fall to secure a spot in the finals, where he went up 5-0 before getting a second round pin to win the Division 2 title at 175, while Taunton’s Will Buffington used a pair of first period takedowns and a third period reversal to claim the D1 state championship at 215 with an 8-3 decision.
The Hock had two more state champions from the girls state tournaments. Mansfield’s Tessa Johnson repeated as Division 2 state champion at 145, earning a pinfall in under a minute in the semis, and then another fall in the finals in the second round. It was an all-Hockomock final in the 107 bracket with Sharon’s Elsa Scott and Milford’s Amelia Hough, the top two seeds, meeting in the championship match. Scott jumped out to an early lead with a first period takedown and a three-point nearfall and claimed the title with a 9-0 major decision. KP’s Lacey Miner was fourth in the same bracket. Sharon’s Ania Konieczna earned second at 138 while Milford’s Cloe Boccia took third at 132. In Division 1, Taunton’s Danielle Haen (145) and Camilly De Carvalho (152) each finished third.

Player of the Week: Brayden Boccia, Milford Wrestling
By HockomockSports.com Staff
Milford sophomore Brayden Boccia has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Jan. 11 through Jan. 17. Boccia is the 19th athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2025-26 school year and the fifth in the winter season.
Boccia took first place at 126 pounds at the Woburn Invitational over the weekend and was named Outstanding Wrestler for the lower weight classes. The sophomore, who reached an all-state final and the quarterfinals at New Englands in his freshman season, also earned a win at 132 pounds in the league dual meet against Franklin to keep the defending champion Hawks unbeaten in Hock play.
“Brayden has been working hard all season and he has been looking forward to wrestling elite competition,” said Milford head coach PJ Boccia. “He has made a big jump from freshman year and as his father and coach it is nice to see the hard work paying off. We are at the half way point in the season and we are going to continue to work hard and see what the postseason brings.”
On Wednesday at Franklin, Boccia moved back a weight class to fill in for an injury and he won by fall to give the Hawks a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. At Woburn, Boccia (who entered the tournament as the No. 2 seed) started the day with a tech fall (18-3) in the first round and then pinned Franklin’s Ben Ellis with 1:28 left in the first period. In the semifinals, Boccia faced fellow sophomore Nathan Morales of Andover. He had a takedown in the first and a reversal in the second to take a 5-0 lead. Morales got a takedown early in the third, but Boccia escaped later in the period and advanced with a 6-3 win.
In the final, Boccia (25-1) squared off against Shawsheen Tech’s defending Div. 1 champ and the tournament’s top seed Dante Giusti (#3 in New England), who beat Boccia in the semifinals of this year’s Lowell Holiday Tournament. After a scoreless first period, Giusti escaped to go in front 1-0 after two. Boccia tied it with an escape early in the third and grabbed the lead with a takedown inside the final minute of the match. Giusti cut the lead to just one with a reversal, but Boccia escaped and held on for a 5-3 win to bring home the title, avenging his only loss of the season.
The Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, is selected by the HockomockSports.com staff. Nominations can be submitted throughout the week up until Saturday night at 8:00 PM. There may be a poll posted on Sunday with the nominations. The results of the poll influence the selection but do not strictly dictate the decision.
