HOCKOMOCKSPORTS.COM BEST XI


Anna Balkus
Anna Balkus
Anna Balkus – Franklin – Midfield
Franklin junior Anna Balkus played all across the midfield and spent some time up front for the Panthers this season and her energy and versatility helped the program bounce back and challenge Mansfield for the Kelley-Rex division title. Balkus scored six goals this season and added three assists, but she also gave the team leadership and was the motor in the center of the pitch. Franklin coach Tom Geysen said, “Anna played all three midfield positions and all positions up front as well. She is an outstanding two-way player with boundless energy and stamina. Anna can play any position on the field.”




Breanna Atwood
Breanna Atwood
Breanna Atwood – Franklin – Goalie
Franklin junior goalie Breanna Atwood continued a long run of strong goalkeeping for the Panthers with a stellar season between the posts. Atwood played all 18 games for the Panthers this season and recorded nine clean sheets. The Panthers allowed a league-low 10 goals this season and only King Philip managed to score more than one goal in a game against Franklin this year. Franklin coach Tom Geysen said, “Bre was a major reason we gave up two goals only once and one or none in all the other games. She’s athletic, tough mentally and physically, and plays at her best under pressure.”

Calen Frongillo
Calen Frongillo
Calen Frongillo – Franklin – Midfield
Franklin senior midfielder Calen Frongillo was the top playmaker for the Panthers this season, leading the team with 14 points on two goals and 12 assists. Providing strength on the ball and control in the center of the pitch, Frongillo showed an eye for a dangerous pass and the skill to spray the ball from side to side and open up scoring opportunities for her teammates. She was also dangerous from set pieces. Franklin coach Tom Geysen said, “Calen has great vision and touch on the ball and is very dangerous on restarts, corners and anticipating in the box. She has a very high soccer IQ.”





Sabrina Addi
Sabrina Addi
Sabrina Addi – Franklin – Defense
Franklin junior defender Sabrina Addi was stellar in the heart of the league’s top defensive unit, helping the Panthers allow a league-low 10 goals this season. Addi provided a physical presence, had the speed and read the game well enough to always be in the right spot and formed a formidable partnership with Grace Gallo in the middle. Addi also scored once and had three assists as one of Franklin’s set piece takers. Franklin coach Tom Geysen said, “Sabrina was a rock in the back. She has great soccer skills, is very good in the air, is physical and aggressive and demonstrates great leadership skills at all times.”
