Black Knights Clamp Down on the Hawks for Road Win

MILFORD, Mass. – Twenty minutes into Friday night’s regular season finale at Milford High, Stoughton had only managed three first downs. Another short drive came to a close after Jonathan Medina was sacked by several Hawks and offensive lineman Malachi Green-Hightower was forced to jump on a fumble to keep the possession alive.

Paul Feeney hit a towering punt downfield towards Ryan O’Toole, who was unable to come up with it cleanly. Matthew Hadley pounced on the loose ball and put the Black Knights at the Milford 25. On the next play, Justin Ly bounced outside the tackle and raced down the Milford sideline for a 25-yard score with 1:31 left in the first half.

The score turned out to be the game-winner, as the Black Knights defense smothered the Milford offense, limiting the Hawks to only eight first downs in the game (only three in the second half), in a 14-3 victory that sets up a three-way tie for second place in the Davenport division and most likely a home game for Stoughton in the Div. 3 South playoffs.

“That’s a good team,” said Stoughton coach Greg Burke, “they played very hard, and they’ve been excellent the last couple weeks and luckily we got them and I’m glad we did it by running the football.”

The Black Knights were without starting quarterback Evan Gibb, who was injured in the loss to North Attleboro, and Burke praised Medina (2-6, 25 yards) for managing the game. Burke said, “You’ve got to make some tough plays and the toughest job, he did a great job for us, was our quarterback. The kid hasn’t played a lot and…everything’s a little different.”

Milford started the game in a spread formation with sophomore Colby Pires (7-16, 118 yards) in the shotgun. On the first possession of the game, Pires hit Shapel Feaster for 20 yards and the Hawks moved the ball into Stoughton territory, but on fourth and nine Pires scrambled and hit Lucas Rosa for eight yards and the drive stalled at the Black Knights 29.

On the second possession, backed up to their own 11, the Hawks hit their biggest play of the game. Pires looked deep down the near sideline to Joey Everett, a senior who transferred in from St. George’s School (Newport, R.I.) midway through the season, and the wideout made an incredible 41-yard catch just keeping a foot in bounds. On the next play, Pires was intercepted by Ryan Semler.

“When you have three turnovers and a muffed punt deep in your own end, it’s hard to get anything going,” said first-year Milford coach Anthony Vizakis. “We tried our spread, we tried our war, they did a really great job. They have a great defense.”

Vizakis admitted that the touchdown before halftime was a turning point. He said, “Unfortunately, sometimes all it takes is one play. We were hoping to put a drive together and we had some things ready to go, but you could feel the momentum shift. Against a tough team like that, it’s hard to come back from it.”

The Black Knights went into the locker room with energy after the late touchdown, but in the end both defenses were too strong to keep the momentum going. A sack by Josh Ligor ended the second Stoughton possession of the third quarter and gave Milford the ball back at its own 30.

The Hawks turned to junior Ryan Pearl at quarterback in a compact power set that worked the week before in the comeback win over Foxboro. A six-yard completion to Will Pointer got a rare third down conversion for a first down and Pointer followed it with a 20-yard burst around the end. Once again the drive stalled, but Milford turned to junior kicker Sean Lehane, who split the upright with a 46-yard boot (with room to spare) that cut the lead to 7-3.

“He’s unreal,” said Vizakis of Lehane. “That’s automatic for him. He kicks 50-55 [yards] in practice and I think we have to utilize him even more when we’re close. He’s clutch.”

The home crowd was starting to get into it, especially after Ruben Gonzalez was stopped on the kick-off return at his own 17, but the Black Knights settled down and put together the best drive of the game.

Alex Sjoquist (15 carries, 91 yards) was the main threat, getting the ball eight times during a 13-play, 83-yard march that took seven minutes off the clock and sealed the win. The big play was a 41-yard burst straight up the middle from Sjoquist that Tyler Joyce kept from being a touchdown with a diving, shoestring tackle. In the end, Sjoquist plunged into the end zone with a three-yard score.

Any hope of another late comeback by the Hawks was dashed by a Colin Sanda interception.

Burke said of the team’s ability to matchup with Milford’s bunch sets, “We got hurt a little bit but…we worked very hard at that all week. It’s a very effective offense, if you get one long play. You’re in tight, so they’re hoping someone cracks one and gets out. So, you have to really protect against the bounce out.”

Despite the defeat, it looks like Milford (3-4, 3-2) has qualified for the Div. 3 South playoffs and could face possible trips to North Attleboro, Duxbury or Hingham. Vizakis is proud of how far the Hawks have come from the opening game of the season.

He said, “We’re 100 percent getting better every week and that’s what we tell them, get better every day. The kids are improving, they’re getting more comfortable in the system, and once we see where we fall in the playoff bracket we’ll be ready to go next week.”

Stoughton (5-2, 3-2) appears to be in line for the third or fourth seed in Div. 3 South.

Burke said, “We’re 5-2 with a couple of our starters out…and I’m just happy we’re getting in the playoffs for our fourth consecutive year. I don’t know, if you had said at the beginning of the year that we’d be 5-2 I would’ve called you crazy, but that’s the type of kids I have, tough kids.”

Strong Second Half Propels Franklin to Win at Milford

MILFORD, Mass. – Heading into halftime, Franklin was frustrated. The Panthers had made a series of mistakes from turnovers to missed blocks to dropped passes to using up timeouts early in the half and Milford had taken advantage, playing the game at its pace and grinding out a three-point lead.

After the break, Franklin turned the game around, scoring 21 straight points and forcing Milford to abandon the power running game that it prefers. Behind three touchdown passes from senior Jake Noviello, Franklin pulled out a 28-10 victory in Friday night’s Game of the Week and evened its record at 1-1.

“They’re tough and we knew that. They compete and those kids don’t quit,” Franklin coach Eian Bain said about Milford. “We gave them the ball in great field position, we allowed them to execute their game plan, and we just kept shooting ourselves in the foot.”

He added, “Once we got out of our own way, that’s all it took. Milford is a very good, competitive, and tough team. You can’t do that kind of stuff and expect to beat them.”

Things started perfectly for the Panthers, who marched down the field on the opening possession of the game. Franklin went 78 yards in 11 plays and no-huddle offense was clicking in perfect rhythm. Noviello (15-26, 180 yards) was 5-for-8 on the drive and capped it with an eight-yard strike to Jack Nally (who caught four of the five completions on the drive) for the game’s first score.

Special teams got Milford right back into the game. Junior Shapel Feaster returned the ensuing kick-off 66 yards to start the Hawks at the Franklin 20. The Hawks made it count with junior Brendan White (11 carries, 26 yards) tying the game with a four-yard run that was aided by a big push from his teammates that carried him and several would-be tacklers across the goal line.

Ryan Driscoll coughed up the ball on the kick return and again Milford started well into Franklin territory; this time at the Panthers 16. A holding call denied Ryan Pearl a touchdown on a keeper and a Jackson Gilbert tackle on third down and goal forced Milford to settle for a 20-yard Sean Lehane field goal to take the lead.

Milford continued to grind out yards on the ground, running out the clock with a balanced attack that featured Will Pointer (13 carries, 65 yards), Ryan O’Toole (eight carries, 32 yards) and White.

The Hawks got the ball out of halftime and there was a lot of energy on the sidelines, but Franklin forced a punt on the first possession and then its offense got back into gear. The Panthers put together a 12-play, 75-yard drive and took the lead for good. Noviello was 4-for-6 on the drive and threw a perfect pass to hit Evan Wendell in the far corner of the end zone for a 14-10 lead.

“Once we got rolling in the second half, the kids settled down,” said Bain. “They knew they were in a fight, but we also knew what we were doing wrong. It’s not hard to fix mistakes that are self-inflicted and we were able to correct them and get back on track.”

On Milford’s next possession, Evan Wertz ripped the ball away from White and returned it inside the 20, with a penalty getting Franklin down to the six. Two plays later, Noviello hit Driscoll for the six-yard score and a crucial two-possession lead.

“We’ve got a really young quarterback and anytime, with our offense, when we get behind it’s tough,” admitted Milford coach Anthony Vizakis. “We like to ground and pound, but that can only go so far.”

With the Hawks needing to up the tempo, Vizakis turned to sophomore quarterback Colby Pires and a spread formation, but Franklin picked off a pair of passes, including a sliding interception on the far sideline by Nolan Mclaney that gave the Panthers a chance to put the game away.

“We see a bright future with Colby Pires and we’re definitely working towards that,” Vizakis explained. “Nothing against (last year’s starter) Matt Curran, he’s a good kid and we’re using him in other spots, but we see Colby being a starter here for a few years, so he’s getting some good experience.”

Facing fourth and one on the next drive, Noviello used a hard count to draw Milford offsides and, although his pass was intercepted by Feaster, Franklin got the first down. Sean Hofferty(15 carries, 39 yards) finished the drive with a two-yard dive to wrap up the scoring.

Bain said, “As soon as we could get them out of their comfort zone, that’s what you want to do is make your opponent play left-handed. Once we tipped the scales, we were able to switch the match-ups into more of our favor.”

Despite the loss, Vizakis, who is in his first year in charge of the program, saw plenty to build on going forward. He said, “We started six sophomores tonight, offense and defense, so young kids getting good experience. We’re definitely going to be teaching every day.”

When asked about the importance of picking up a win before league play kicks off next week, Bain joked, “My car would be on blocks right now if we were 0-2.”

He continued, “The kids have worked so hard for this. It hasn’t been like that around here in a while where we go in and expect to win and I feel like we’re there now. To start 0-2, it’s hard to keep preaching that mantra.”

Franklin (1-1) will try to keep the momentum going next week against unbeaten Mansfield in what the Panthers are expecting will be the first game on the new turf at Pisini Field. Milford (0-2) will open Davenport division play against Canton at World War II Veterans Memorial Field.

Players are listed in alphabetical order.

Hockomock Football Players to Watch on Offense

Ryan Clemente, Junior – North Attleboro

It’s not often that a sophomore can earn a starting spot on the offensive line for the best team in the league, and it’s even more rare that the sophomore can dominate like Ryan Clemente did last season. While he was a sophomore in age, his size and strength allowed him to fit right in alongside juniors and seniors, opening up holes for Nick Rajotte (14 touchdowns) and protecting quarterback Chad Peterson (22 touchdowns). In one-on-one situations, its unlikely anyone is going to push the tackle back but maybe most impressive is the 265-pounder’s ability to pull off the line and make a block up field. North Attleboro has a new group of backs this season but don’t be surprised if they have success early on running behind Clemente.

Hunter Ferreira, Senior – Mansfield

Ferreira broke out during his sophomore season and last year proved that he is one of the top receivers in the league. He nearly set a new single-season reception record with 53 catches in 2016 and totaled 833 receiving yards (15.7 per catch) and caught six touchdowns. Despite regularly seeing double teams and having defenses key on him, Ferreira was able to use his strength to get past defensive backs on the line and improved route-running to get open. With strong hands and the size to beat most defensive backs to any ball in the air, Ferreira is a consistent weapon for the Hornets’ passing game.

Shane Frommer, Senior – King Philip

There is no secret that KP is a team that likes to keep the ball on the ground and the Div. 1A Super Bowl champions will lean heavily on Frommer as the lead back this fall. The Yale-commit emerged last year as the go-to running back and put up impressive numbers behind a strong and experienced offensive line. He rushed for 1,100 yards, averaging 6.8 yards per carry and scored nine touchdowns. He also made nine catches for 127 yards and a touchdown and returned a punt for a score as well. Frommer has good vision to find the hole and the burst of speed to take advantage of the space. As one of only two returning players on offense for KP, expect Frommer to see a lot of action this fall.

Cam Furtado, Senior – Attleboro

An injury to the starting quarterback gave Furtado the opportunity to show off his skills as a sophomore, helping Attleboro to a strong closing stretch in 2015. Last season, he was used more as a running back, although he did have moments under center running a ‘Wildcat’ set. Furtado has speed to get to the outside, but also the strength to take the ball up the middle. He can make people miss and break tackles, but this year the Bombardiers will also need him to show that he can make plays with his arm too. If Furtado can develop his all-around game at quarterback, then the Attleboro offense could be one of the best in the Hockomock League.

Evan Gibb, Junior – Stoughton

Once Gibb made his debut in week three of last season, he looked right at home as the starting quarterback for the Black Knights. Last season, Gibb tossed for eight touchdowns and rushed for two more. Now with nearly a season of experience under his belt, Gibb will be a leader on the offensive side of the ball for Stoughton. Although he will be without two of his top weapons from last year – Ryan Sullivan and Izon Swain-Price – he showed the ability to make plays on his own. He showed the poised to sit in the pocket and fire downfield to receivers and also showed glimpses of being able to get out of the pocket and make a play with his legs.

Tony Harris, Senior – Canton

There will be a lot of new faces on the offensive side of the ball for the Bulldogs this season, but one familiar face will be Tony Harris. And in all likelihood, Harris will be a focal point of the offense. Standing at 6’4, and with two years of playing experience under his belt, Harris is one of the most experienced and talented receiving options in the Hock. He will have sophomore quarterback Johnny Hagan starting under center this year so it will be interesting to see how quickly the two develop chemistry in games. Even if Harris isn’t going out to catch a pass, it’s very possible he could see some handoffs like he did a season ago.

Noah Leonard, Junior – Taunton

The Taunton offense flourished at times last season with Leonard connecting frequently with wideout Adam McLaughlin. Now that his favorite target has graduated, the junior signal caller will have to take advantage of the the other weapons at his disposal and there is plenty of confidence that he has control of the offense. He completed 90-of-158 passes in 2016, throwing for nearly 1,300 yards and 14 touchdowns. He also ran for two more scores. Head coach Brad Sidwell said that Taunton will run a lot more sets this year to diversify the offense and take advantage of Leonard’s skill set. With the quarterback position solidified, there is a lot of excitement about the Tigers’ potential.

Ryan O’Toole, Senior – Milford

While a lot of the attention was focused on Blake Hill a year ago, Ryan O’Toole quietly put together a very impressive campaign out of the backfield. Despite not having a ton of varsity experience, O’Toole looked more like a veteran with his patience and ability to follow the block. Once the space opened up, O’Toole showed a great burst to get through it and get up field. He also impressed in one-on-one situations with the ability to get by defenders. He didn’t just line up in the backfield either. When the Hawks decided to spread it out, O’Toole often lined up in the slot and his speed made him a difficult cover for opposing defenses. He also returned punts for the team, making plays on special teams.

Chad Peterson, Senior – North Attleboro

For the second straight season, Peterson set records for the Rocketeers and now he enters his third year as a starter with a full understanding of the North offense and the opportunity to win a third straight league title. He completed a program-record 110 completions last season (breaking the record he set as a sophomore) and threw for 1,700 yards and 23 touchdowns, which was also a single-season program record. Peterson also rushed for 144 yards and two touchdowns, showing off the athleticism to make plays either in the pocket or on the run. His versatility will be crucial for the North offense this year, as the Rocketeers go after a second title in two years in the Davenport division and three Hock title overall.

Elvin Sam, Senior – Attleboro

In his first season as a starter for the Bombardiers, Sam showed consistent improvement from the beginning of the season to the final game and was one of Attleboro’s best playmakers either comping out of the backfield or split out wide. He led the team with 21 receptions for 483 yards and had seven of Attleboro’s nine touchdown receptions on the season. He also chipped in on special teams, setting up the Bombardiers with good field position. He is explosive off the line of scrimmage and can make even difficult catches in traffic look easy. With Sam on the outside, the Bombardiers have a weapon to stretch defenses and make plays downfield. His development is one of the reasons there is so much optimism for Attleboro this preseason.

Football: 2017 Davenport Division Preview

2017 Davenport Football Preview

By HockomockSports.com Staff

2017 Davenport Football Preview

Canton

2016 Record: 3-8
2016 Finish: Missed playoffs
Coach: Dave Bohane

Key/Returning Players: Brendan Albert, Jr., LB; Alec Ragusa, Sr., FB/LB; Jude Albert, Sr., OL/LB; Kearvens Theodore, Sr., OL/DL; Chris Benjamin, Sr., OL/DL; Tony Harris, Sr., SE/DB; Johnny Hagan, Soph., QB; Kyle Fitzgerald, Soph., FS; Ben Seaman, Jr., LB; Gersom Rivera, Soph., RB; Jack Connolly, Soph., OL/DL; Christian Walker, Sr., TE;

Outlook: The Bulldogs have a solid handful of experienced players back this season and will be looking to mix in a good amount of youth during the 2017 season.

While Canton will have plenty of seniors on the field, head coach Dave Bohane expects a good mix of juniors and even sophomores to get plenty of playing time. The youth starts under center as sophomore Johnny Hagan takes over as the team’s starting quarterback. He’ll have two big targets to work with in Tony Harris and Christian Walker as well as a versatile backfield that features Alec Ragusa and Gersom Rivera.

On the defensive side of the ball, a group of experienced linebackers, including Ragusa, Jude Albert, Brendan Albert and Ben Seamen will anchor the Bulldogs. Kearvens Theodore will be a big piece on the defensive line, alongside Chris Benjamin and Jack Connolly. Sophomore Kyle Fitzgerald will take on the responsibility of being a starting safety but will have plenty of experience in the secondary with seniors Cordell Smith and Marquise Montes manning the corners.

“Getting off to a good start is always important, and equally important is those later weeks,” Bohane said. “We have to keep bodies fresh and keep ourselves in a position to make playoffs. It’s a tough league, everyone we play will be a really good football team. We’re young but athletic and competitive, and I think that will make a difference.”

Foxboro

2016 Record: 5-6
2016 Finish: Missed playoffs
Coach: Jack Martinelli

Key/Returning Players: Teddy Maher, Sr., SS/WR; Phil Dure, Sr., CB/WR; Louis Piccolo, Sr., FS; Devin Hassett, Sr., QB/SE/FS; Jake Addeche, Sr., WR/CB; Patrick Kaveny, Sr., DE; Mike Henri, Sr., RB/SS; Matt Pond, Sr., LB; Mike Luong, Jr., RB; Matt Suess, Sr., OL/DL; Anthony Capachietti, Sr., RB; Hunter Williams, Jr., OL; Andrew Longa, Jr., OL; Kade Treannie, Sr., OL.

Outlook: Foxboro is looking to ride the strength of a deep senior class to get back to the playoffs after missing out a season ago and also get back into the Davenport division title hunt after winning it two years ago.

The Warriors boast 35 seniors and have a handful of experienced juniors that are back after winning five games last season. Under center, senior Devin Hassett and junior Liam Foley are both in the running to take snaps. Hassett is also an option to catch the ball, giving the Warriors some flexibility on the offensive end. A strength that Foxboro will rely on on the offensive side of the ball is their playmaking ability at the skill positions. The Warriors boast multiple capable ball carriers (Mike Henri, Mike Luong, Anthony Capachietti) and pass catchers (Teddy Maher, Phil Dure, Jake Addeche) that can make things happen. Seniors Matt Suess and Kade Treannie and juniors Hunter Williams and Andrew Longa will see time on the offensive line.

Defensively, Foxboro will be looking to improve after giving up just over 29 points per game against division opponents a year ago. The Warriors will be relying on quickness and an aggressive demeanor to make plays on the defense end. Louis Piccolo, Maher, Hassett, Addeche and Henri are all likely candidates to see time in the secondary while Pat Kaveny (defensive end) and Matt Pond (linebacker) will lead the front seven.

“Chemistry amongst 35 seniors and a return to ‘old school Foxboro football’ will personify the 2017 season,” said Foxboro head coach Jack Martinelli.

Milford

2016 Record: 6-5
2016 Finish: Reached D2 South Quarterfinals
Coach: Anthony Vizakis

Key/Returning Players: Ryan O’Toole, Sr., RB; Matt Curran, Sr., QB; Patrick Brogioli, Sr., OL/DL; Tyler Joyce, Sr., TE/DE; Cullen Burns, Sr., OL/DL; Kayden Kelley, Sr., WR/CB; Will Pointer, Sr., RB/LB; Shapel Feaster, Jr., RB/CB; Matt Annantuonio, Sr., RB/CB; David Abbatinozzi, Sr., OL/DL; Brendan White, Jr., TE/S; Josh Ligor, Jr., OL/DL; Chris Rivera, Sr., RB/LB; Jacob Eosco, Sr., OL/DL.

Outlook: First year head coach Anthony Vizakis is looking to the past as he begins his first season with the Scarlet Hawks. Vizakis is hoping the 2017 Hawks will pull from the tradition of the program as they look to get back to the playoffs once again this year.

It will certainly be a challenge as Milford graduated some of the most talented players in the league, from all different parts of the field. One constant is that the Hawks return quarterback Matt Curran for his senior year. Another familiarity for Curran will be running back Ryan O’Toole, who saw a lot of time last year alongside Blake Hill in the backfield. Receiver Kayden Kelley and tight end Tyler Joyce are also back after getting plenty of reps on the offensive end as well. Seniors Patrick Brogioli and Cullen Burns are two returning starters from the Hawks’ offensive line.

Defensively, the Scarlet Hawks will be looking to continue what they did in 2016, allowing just a shade over 17 points per game. While it was impressive that Milford allowed just 28 points total against Sharon, Canton and Foxboro, the Hawks will need to make a leap to try and halt the offensive firepower of North Attleboro and Stoughton. It will start up front with a tough line and then an athletic group of linebackers. Will Pointer and Chris Rivera will be two of those linebackers while Shapel Feaster and Matt Annantuonio will join Brendan White as members of the secondary.

“Milford football prides itself on the tradition of having ​​physically, and mentally tough football players,” Vizakis said. “That tradition is alive and well, and the energy and intensity coming out of our locker room and onto the practice field thus far has been infectious.”

North Attleboro

2016 Record: 9-2 (Davenport Division Champions)
2016 Finish: Reached D2 South Final
Coach: Don Johnson

Key/Returning Players: Chad Peterson, Sr., QB/P; Zach DeMattio, Sr., RB/LB; Sam Bullock, Sr. OL/DL; Brad White, Sr. OL/DL; Mario Bresko, Sr., SE/DB; Ryan Clemente, Jr., OL/DL.

Outlook: With two straight league titles under its belt, North Attleboro isn’t planning to slow down anytime soon. With record-breaking quarterback Chad Peterson back under center for his senior season, the Rocketeers look to be the early favorite for another Davenport title.

After two straight impressive season, Peterson will look to lead this year’s Rocketeers to their second straight Davenport title and another deep run in the playoffs. While playmakers Bobby Mylod and Nick Rajotte are gone, Peterson will have running backs Zach DeMattio and Adam Eberle to work with and receivers Mario Bresko, Omar Jasseh and Ryan Gaumond when he drops back to throw. Junior Ryan Clemente already has a year’s experience under his belt and could be one of the most dominant lineman in the league this season. Sam Bullock, Brad White, John Bradley, Geoff Wilson, Jack Puccio, Aidan Harding and Joe Larkin will all be options alongside Clemente on the offensive line.

One of the biggest reasons for North’s success a year ago was its very impressive defense, which allowed just under 12 points per game (Hockomock League best). Big Red will have to replace some big names and might have to overcome some inexperience early on, but head coach Don Johnson notes there is good competition among the front seven and secondary. Bresko is one player that has experience in the secondary while DeMattio (linebacker) and Bullock (defensive tackle) will anchor the front seven.

“The team has worked hard in the offseason,” Johnson said. “We are confident that our strong scrimmage schedule (Marshfield, Braintree and Bridgewater-Raynham), and a Week 1 non-league game versus defending D2 Super Bowl champion King Philip, will help us prepare for the ultra-competitive Hockomock League schedule.”

Sharon

2016 Record: 6-5
2016 Finish: Missed playoffs
Coach: Dave Morse

Key/Returning Players: Austin Dodes, Sr., WR/DB; Drew Naisuler, Sr., TE/DE; Coleman Loftus, Jr., OL/DL; Chris Gong, Jr., WR/DB; Sam Spencer, Jr., TE/LB; Aaron Strong, Jr., RB/LB; Jeremy Ruskin, Jr., QB.

Outlook: The 2017 version of the Sharon Eagles might be on the young side, but head coach Dave Morse is hoping that youth injects some energy into his squad.

The Eagles started and finished the 2016 season strongly, going 3-0 to begin and then closing with a win over Hopkinton and then a Thanksgiving Day win over rival Oliver Ames to finish over .500. Now, the Eagles will be trying to repeat that success while improving their league record. Junior Jeremy Ruskin is back under center after taking over late in the season last fall and will have senior Austin Dodes and tight end Drew Naisuler available as pass catching options. Junior Aaron Strong saw some carries last year and will likely be a feature back this season.

Defensively, the Eagles were one of the stingiest units in the entire league (just over 18 PPG). The Eagles held six of their 11 opponents under 14 points per game. Junior Coleman Loftus is a returning starter and a two-way lineman for the Eagles while junior linebacker Sam Spencer will look to make an impact this season. Chris Gong joins Dodes and Strong in the secondary while Naisuler will be a part of the Eagles’ front seven.

“It has been a pleasure coaching this group and seeing them make progress,” Morse said. “Despite being the youngest team I have coached, their commitment is refreshing and they motivate me to help them succeed.”

Stoughton

2016 Record: 8-3
2015 Finish: Reached D2 South Semifinal
Coach: Greg Burke

Key/Returning Players: Evan Gibb, Jr., QB; Jason Joseph, Sr., DE/TE; Justin Ly, Sr., FB/LB; Colin Sanda, Sr., WR/DB; Ruben Gonzalez, Sr., WR/RB/DB; Alex Sjoquist, Sr., RB/DB; Paul Feeney, Sr., OL/DL; Anthony Burke, Sr., OL/DL.

Outlook: The Black Knights have had a strong stretch of success over the past couple of seasons and will try to continue that in 2017, despite graduating a very memorable senior class last season.

Gone are playmakers Ryan Sullivan and Izon Swain-Price, as well as linemen Lino Azul and Andrew Iverson and a handful of terrific role players. But, one key returning piece is junior quarterback Evan Gibb. Gibb took over early on during his sophomore season and looked very comfortable in his role. Now he will have to be a leader of the offensive unit. Justin Ly was the third member of Stoughton’s three-headed rushing attack a year ago and will likely be one of the team’s feature backs. Ly is a tough runner that can get yards up the middle but also has speed to get to the outside. Alex Sjoquist will likely also get carries while experienced receivers Colin Sanda and Ruben Gonzalez should see increased roles in 2017.

The Knights are well known for their defense during the successful stretch. While there will be a lot of new faces in new places, the Knights are relying on improved speed to go along with their strength. Jason Joseph is back after a solid junior campaign to lead the defensive line along with Paul Feeney, while Ly is joined by Anthony Burke as linebackers. Sanda, Gonzalez and Sjoquist will all see time in the secondary for Stoughton.

“We’re replacing so many kids from last year,” Stoughton head coach Greg Burke said. “We hope to be ready without a lot of experience. We hope to compete and be healthy.”

Sullivan, Swain-Price Help Stoughton Run Past Milford

STOUGHTON, Mass. – With two of the highest scoring offenses in the Hockomock facing off on Friday night, it’s no surprise the teams combined for 450 yards.

What is a little surprising is how lopsided it was.

Stoughton racked up 372 yards compared to Milford’s 78 yards — all rushing yards for both teams — and that dominance translated into a 28-0 win for the Black Knights at Anthony L. Sarno Field.

“We played well,” Stoughton head coach Greg Burke said. “Milford is a good team, they’ve pounded some teams. Even though I thought we did a great job, I thought we could have been up another touchdown but a couple of penalties. Overall we played very well.

“For us defensively, Milford has been scoring a lot of points, and the big boy (Blake Hill), he’s a great player, I don’t know what happened to him (in the second half) – he’s a tough kid. We did a great job up front. Sully and Izon, they’re just great players and the offensive line did a nice job. Defensively, they couldn’t have gotten too many yards.”

The Black Knights’ defense, which recorded its second shutout of the season, gave the offense a second chance after an opening drive fumble. Stoughton moved the ball 52 yards on seven plays but a high snap resulted in a turnover. However, on Milford’s first play, a bad snap resulted in a fumble that Andrew Iverson gobbled up.

Three plays later, Izon Swain-Price (11 carries, 149 yards, three touchdowns) took a counter to the left, broke free of a tackle and scampered in for a 16 yard touchdown. Josh Cocchi’s first of four extra points put the Black Knights up 7-0 with 5:29 left in the first quarter.

Another turnover haunted Milford on its next drive. After converting a third down on a carry from Blake Hill (11 carries, 37 yards), a pitch was dropped with Stoughton’s Jason Joseph landing on the loose ball.

Stoughton capitalized on its second takeaway, using six plays to cover 40 yards. This time, Swain-Price found a big hole through the left side and walked in for a six yard touchdown, making it 14-0 with 1:32 left in the opening quarter.

“Absolutely huge,” Burke said of getting the ball back quickly after the turnovers. “Milford has been ripping up teams up and down the field from what I’ve seen on film. We put a lot of emphasis on just tackling, getting off the blocks and making sure we get to 42, who’s as good as anybody. I’m glad we knew where he was, in the middle. We tried to use two, three guys and go different ways and that’s sort of why our offense does well.”

Milford’s final three drives of the first half resulted in two punts from sophomore Sean Lehane and another fumble. Stoughton wasn’t able to capitalize as their final three drives ended with a punt, an interception by Milford’s Conor Corbett, and a turnover on downs.

The Scarlet Hawks were forced to punt on their opening drive of the second half and Stoughton pounced. Using an 11-play drive, the Black Knights covered 88 yards. Highlighted by 15 yard and 19 yard runs by Ryan Sullivan (14 carries, 134 yards) and 17 and 11 yard rushes by Swain-Price, Stoughton eventually punched it in on 4th and 1 from the six, Justin Ly (seven carries, 27 yards) hurdling his way up the middle for the score. Stoughton led 21-0 with 2:21 left in the third quarter.

“That’s it – you have it mix it up,” Burke said of mixing up play calls. “We can throw the ball too but today was a little tough. We both had a couple turnovers, that’s high school football. I’m really happy for the kids. Who we have next week, I have no clue but we’re going to be at home. That’s what we’ve been shooting for. I’m happy we finished strong in the league today. We had one bad period this year. The guys were tough, they were giving some licks out there, there was some banging in the middle. We’re not the most gifted team but we have kids that work very hard and they’re very strong.”

All three of Milford’s other drives in the second half resulted in punts.

Stoughton used its first drive of the fourth quarter to cap the scoring. On the first play of the drive, Swain-Price used a counter to go up the left side untouched for a 79 yard touchdown.

Stoughton quarterback Evan Gibb added 54 yards on the ground on five carries. Milford’s Ryan O’Toole and Jack Cappelletti combined for 28 yards on the ground.

Stoughton football finishes the regular season at 5-2 overall and 4-1 in division play. While MIAA playoff seeds will be finalized on Sunday, it’s likely that Stoughton will be the #4 seed in Division 2 South. Milford (4-3, 3-2) will likely be the #6 seed and have an away game.
