The captain had an assist and four ground balls and caused four turnovers in an 8-4 victory over Minnechaug on June 2, the Hillers’ first postseason win since 2019. “John defines toughness at the midfield position,” stated coach Dan Norton. “He’s a strong two-way midfielder who leaves it all on the field on both the offensive and defensive end. He has been an excellent leader for us who just shows up and works. He is often sacrificing his own statistics for the betterment of the team success. John puts the team first and is willing to do whatever it takes for his buddies.”

Move In Style, sponsored by Custom Home Realty’s Laura Wauters, is a weekly Hopkinton Independent feature. Each week during the school year, we will highlight a different Hopkinton High School athlete, selected after consultation with HHS coaches.
