Player of the Week: Phoebe O’Connor, Franklin Volleyball
By HockomockSports.com Staff
Franklin freshman Phoebe O’Connor has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Nov. 9 through Nov. 15. O’Connor is the 11th athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2025-26 school year.
O’Connor set the table for the Franklin attack throughout the season, finishing with more than 500 kills in her rookie campaign, and she continued her impressive passing on Saturday night to help the Panthers rally against defending champ Newton North in the Div. 1 final at Billerica High and clinch their first state title.
“Phoebe has been amazing for us over our playoff run and into the state final on Saturday,” said Franklin coach Chris Ridolfi. “Beyond her setting duties she’s been a solid defender and has scored with her serve and block. She certainly played ‘older’ than a freshman in the final and was a big reason for our success in the championship match.”
In the first playoff match of her career, O’Connor dealt out 30 assists and a couple of aces in a dominant sweep of Braintree. She was even better in the Sweet Sixteen, finishing with 38 assists in another sweep of Lincoln-Sudbury. Her all-around skills were on display in the quarterfinal. O’Connor had 37 assists, three aces, and 24 digs and the Panthers rolled to a big win at Andover.
Against Newton South in the Final Four, O’Connor continued to run the offense, dishing out 31 assists and adding a pair of aces and 10 digs in yet another 3-0 win. She got the Panthers off to a great start in the final with three blocks in the first set. O’Connor finished with 38 assists, five aces, and six blocks, as Franklin came roaring back to win the fourth and fifth sets to pull the upset. The Panthers finished the season on an 18-match win streak.
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.

Braz Ferreira and Babanikas each scored within the first 25 minutes to set the tone, and both added one more inside the final 30 minutes to close out the win. Braz Ferreira got on the end of a near post service on a corner from classmate Cyrus Hanjani, getting a slight flick to beat the keeper in the 10th minute to give the hosts the lead. A deflected corner from freshman Jack Donahue fell to Babanikas in the 22nd minute and he ripped a side volley into the back of the net to double the lead. In the 58th minute, Babanikas got on the end of a corner from Hanjani, hitting a perfectly timed volley in the air to increase the advantage to 3-0. Revere got on the board in the 72nd minute to make it 3-1 but Braz Ferreira was taken down in the box minutes later and calmly converted a penalty kick to cap the scoring. #1 Oliver Ames will host longtime rival #16 Sharon on Saturday at 5:00.
#26 Agawam, 1 @ #7 King Philip, 0 – Final (PKs) – Click here for a Photo Gallery from this match. – King Philip and Agawam both had strong defensive efforts as the teams played 100 minutes of soccer without a goal, and the Brownies ended up prevailing 4-2 in penalty kicks. George Blakesley, Ben Cochran, and Jakoby Penabad anchored a strong defensive effort in front of keeper Brent Schneider for the Warriors with the help of center mid Braden Burns. Junior Iago Oliviera hit the post in the 24th minute while senior Marco Amorim came inches away from winning it in double overtime, smacking a shot off the underside of the crossbar in the final minutes.
#20 Doherty, 1 @ #13 Stoughton, 2 – Final – Stoughton scored once in each half to knock off visiting Doherty, securing its first postseason win since 2015. Junior center back Philipe Dos Santos opened the scoring just before the half hour mark as his long ball service turned into a goal. Dos Santos smashed a long ball from midfield that took a high bounce just inside the box, and with senior Caio Medina applying some pressure, the ball went over the goalie and bounced into the open net to give the Black Knights the lead. Medina drew a foul just outside the box in the 63rd minute and junior Louis Zeng made Doherty pay, drilling a shot from 20 yards out to the far post to make it 2-0. Doherty pulled one back in the 68th minute but the Knights were able to close it out. #13 Stoughton will travel to #4 Duxbury on Saturday at 3:00 for a Round of 16 game.
