2018 Taunton Hockomock Players to Watch

Football

NOAH LEONARD, SENIOR – TAUNTON
​Two years removed from being named HockomockSports.com Underclassman of the Year, Taunton senior quarterback Noah Leonard is now in his third season under center for the Tigers and a veteran in the system installed by third-year head coach Brad Sidwell. Leonard helped Taunton achieve a winning record last fall, despite his touchdown total dropping from 14 as a sophomore to 11 as a junior. With a cadre of returning receivers and plenty of size on the line, Leonard has the chance to be in complete control of the offense this year, continuing to develop as a runner (six touchdowns on the ground last year) to complement his accuracy out of the pocket. The Tigers will be hoping to build on the momentum of a three-game win streak to close out 2017 and if Leonard can keep the Taunton offense moving, and avoid turnovers, then another trip to the postseason could be in the cards.

KAYLI FAGAN, SENIOR – TAUNTON
​Over the past two seasons, Taunton’s offense has run through Kayli Fagan. Expect that to continue in 2018 as she returns for her senior year and third straight season as the Tigers’ primary setter. Not many teams in the state have the luxury of returning a setter that already has 828 assists to her name. Fagan will have a couple of new faces to work with but we saw at the end of last season the emergence of Sam Silveira (93 kills) and Kamila Cuevas (70 kills), so there will be some familiarity for Fagan to work with.
