Player of the Week: Cyrus Jones, Sharon Wrestling

Cyrus Jones
By HockomockSports.com Staff

Sharon senior Cyrus Jones has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for March 2 through March 8. Jones is the 26th athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2025-26 school year and the 12th in the winter season.

Jones finished off his high school career in style, winning four matches at this past weekend’s CNESSPA New England Championships at the Providence (RI) Career and Technical Academy, including three by pin, to win the title at 175 pounds. He is the first male Sharon wrestler to win a New England title since Pete Tillman in 1995 (Meghan Weibe won a New England title in 2024).

“Cyrus is the type of competitor that wants to dominate his opponents,” said Sharon head coach Jeff Sonis following All-States. “He doesn’t even like being scored upon. He won a sectional, state and All-State title in the past three weeks without surrendering a single offensive point. The only point scored was on a technical violation — that is dominance.”

Jones has been on a dominant run in the postseason. He won a sectional, state, and all-state title without surrendering a single offensive point. Going into New Englands, the only point he had allowed was on a technical violation. The Williams College-commit capped his all-state run with a first-minute pin against the top seed in the final.

At the New England Championships, Jones entered as the top seed and continued his impressive form. In his opening match, Jones had an 11-0 lead after one period and, after his opponent got a takedown early in the third, closed it out with a pin. The quarterfinal match lasted only 1:18 before Jones won again by pinfall (already leading 7-0 at the time). His closest match came in the semifinal. Jones got the lead with a takedown in the first and led 3-1 going to the third. A reversal gave him a four-point cushion and he finished with a 5-2 decision. In the final, Jones claimed the title in impressive fashion, pinning his opponent just a minute into the first period.

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.
