King Philip senior Matthew Kelley has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Nov. 13 through Nov. 19. Kelley is the 11th player chosen as Player of the Week for the 2022-23 school year.

Kelley played a major role in King Philip sealing its fifth Super Bowl appearance in the last six seasons. Kelley scored five points (a field goal and a pair of extra points) and picked off a pass, as the Warriors held off Bishop Feehan in the second half to win 17-10. KP is now 18-3 in the postseason since 2016.

The Warriors started the semifinal in dominant fashion, controlling the game and jumping out to a 14-0 lead, with Kelley making both extra points. Late in the first half, KP drove deep into Feehan territory but the Shamrocks held defensively. Kelley made sure that the Warriors came away with points, splitting the uprights on a 46-yard kick that made it 17-0. In a matchup that featured the running game almost exclusively, Kelley wasn’t very busy in the secondary, but with Feehan facing a third and 22 late in the fourth quarter he jumped an out-route, intercepting the pass and returning it to the Feehan 21, which essentially sealed the victory.
