Player of the Week: Zac Georgantas, Foxboro Golf
By HockomockSports.com Staff
Foxboro junior Zac Georgantas has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Oct. 14 through Oct. 20. Georgantas is the seventh athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2024-25 school year.
Georgantas delivered his best round of the season last Thursday in the Hockomock Golf Championship at Wentworth Hills Country Club. He carded a five-under-par 66 to earn medalist honors and powered the Warriors, who also won a share of their first league crown in more than decade, to the team title. Foxboro finished with a team total of 217, five strokes better than second-place Canton. The day before, he won the individual title at the MIAA Division 2 South sectional tournament at Segregansett Country Club.
On top of his tremendous performances last week, Georgantas kicked this week off his style. After a long trip to Taconic Golf Club in Williamstown, Georgantas won the Division 2 state championship after a playoff.
“He’s probably one of the most complete players I’ve been around,” said Foxboro head coach Paul LaCerda. “He’s strong in all parts of his game, he doesn’t have a weakness. And his mental strength, the ability to maintain that equilibrium is impressive. He’s never out of a match, that’s a credit to him for being such a great player.”
After finishing the front nine at 1-under at Hocks with back-to-back birdies on four and five, Georgantas caught fire after the turn, shooting 4-under and finishing three strokes better than North Attleboro’s Tyson Laviano, who also had a terrific round at 2-under par; they were the only two golfers to shoot under par for the day. Georgantas made eight birdies in his round with five coming in a six hole stretch between the 10th and 15th holes. For the season, Georgantas was fourth in the league with an average round of 36.2 (third in average above par at 0.6).
At the Division 2 sectional tournament, Georgantas once again used a strong back nine to propel to the top of the leaderboard. He was one-over par on the front nine but had four birdies on the back nine to finish at 71 (one under) for the day, one stroke ahead of Norton’s Shawn Clary.
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 8:00PM. There may be a poll posted on every Sunday with the nominations. The results of the poll influence the selection but do not strictly dictate the decision.

Thursday’s Schedule & Scoreboard – 10/03/24
Today’s games are listed below.
Girls Soccer
Stoughton, 0 @ Brockton, 2 – Final – Despite a penalty save by keeper Molly Fox and six shots on goal in the second half alone, Stoughton was unable to break through and suffered a non-league road loss at Brockton. The Black Knights started flat but picked things up after the break and put loads of pressure on the Boxers in the final 10 minutes but couldn’t find the back of the net.
Volleyball
Taunton, 1 @ Durfee, 3 – Final – Taunton stayed alive with a close win in the third set and nearly forced a fifth but suffered a 3-1 set back at Durfee (20-25, 15-25, 28-26, 23-25). Adrianna Amaral (11 kills) and Lea Selfridge (seven kills) played well at the net, Grace Bennett dished out 26 assists for the Tigers, and Sadie Herry was strong defensively with 22 digs and five aces.
Stoughton, 3 @ Seekonk, 0 – Final – Stoughton went on the road and secured a straight set win over Seekonk, winning 3-0. The Knights got a big boost at the service line as Alyssandra Joseph landed eight aces, Reagan Lewis (11 kills) notched seven aces, and Jina Kim added four aces in the win. Alex Benedetti had two blocks and Amy Nguyen played well defensively for Stoughton.
Field Hockey
Attleboro, 1 @ Durfee, 0 – Final – Attleboro converted a corner at the end of the first quarter and the Bombardiers’ defense denied Durfee for the entire hour of play to a 1-0 win on the road. Sophomore Isabella Soares finished off a nice corner play from the Bombardiers with freshman Brenna Aveiro and sophomore Megan Huntington recording assists on the play. “The girls played a really, really strong half,” relayed Attleboro head coach Jess Pink. Senior Siany Ortez-Amaya made nine saves in net to record the shutout for the Bombardiers.
Golf
Foxboro, 147 @ Stoughton, 188 – Final – Foxboro went on the road and returned with a win, taking down Stoughton on the links at Easton Country Club to clinch at least a share of the Davenport division title, the program’s first since 2010 — the first year the Hockomock League split into two divisions. Junior Zac Georgantas had a terrific round, firing a three-under-par medalist round of 33 to lead the way for the Warriors. Mike Ruo came in with a one-over-par round of 37, Ryan Wood chipped in with a 38, and Ryan O’Leary carded a season-low round of 39 for Foxboro. Stoughton’s Fred Spintig carded a team-best round of 44.
Mansfield, 168 @ Norton, 165 – Final – Mansfield came up just short in a non-league battle against Norton, who share the same clubhouse at Norton Country Club. Senior Hayden O’Connor had a team-low round of 40 for the Hornets, senior Brendan Vokey came in with a 42, and both sophomore Anthony Dileso and junior Chase McDonald finished the round with a 43.
