Boys Basketball Player of the Year & HOCKOMOCKSPORTS FIRST TEAM
Franklin junior Sean O’Leary has been named the HockomockSports.com Boys Basketball Player of the Year for the 2022-2023 season. O’Leary was the top all-around player in the league and led the Panthers to their first Kelley-Rex division title since 2016. He was also voted as the Hockomock League MVP by the coaches.
“Sean really did it all for the Franklin this season,” said HockomockSports.com Editor-in-Chief Ryan Lanigan. “He is such a talented all-around player and his fingerprints were all over the Panthers’ success this season, which included winning the Kelley-Rex division title. He can score in a variety of ways, including shooting the three, but his old-school like post game really separated him from others in the league. He is the first junior to be selected for this award in the 11 years of its existence.”

HOCKOMOCKSPORTS THIRD TEAM = Justin Allen – Franklin – Guard

| Justin Allen |
Franklin senior Justin Allen had a terrific season for the Panthers, helping the program win the Kelley-Rex division title — the program’s first since 2016. After getting some valuable experience during his junior year, Allen became a true leader both on and off the court as a senior and emerged as one of the most lethal shooters in the league, as seen by his eight three-pointers in a win over Weymouth. Allen was second on the team in scoring at 11.8 points per game on a very impressive 44.5% three-point shooting percentage. He added 5.7 rebounds and 3 assists per game. “Over his career, Justin may be the most improved player from freshman to senior year that I have ever coached,” said Franklin head coach CJ Neely. “He is such a hard worker and amazing leader who made big shots all year and I am really proud of him.”
HOCKOMOCKSPORTS ALL-DEFENSIVE TEAM = Ben Harvey, Franklin

| Ben Harvey |
Franklin senior Ben Harvey was once again one of the top defenders in the Hockomock League during the 2022-2023 season. He’s the first All-Defensive team repeat selection since the 2018 season after earning a spot on this team as a junior. His commitment to the defensive end is contagious and helped make the Kelley-Rex division Panthers one of the top defensive teams once again this year. He averaged 6.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 2.0 steals per game. “It is always great to go into a game and know that you can put Ben on the opposing team’s best player and they will have an off night,” said Franklin head coach CJ Neely. “He competes at such a high level every time he takes the court.”
