Despite breaking his wrist in the team’s opener this year — and playing with a soft cast since — Braden Hicks has recorded two interceptions at cornerback and helped the team to a 4-1 start. He also was selected by his teammates as a captain. “He’s the type of player every coach wants on their team — just a great kid who loves football,” HHS coach Mark Sanborn shared.

Hillers Thrillers, sponsored by Hiller’s Pizza, is a new Hopkinton Independent feature. Each week, we will highlight a different Hopkinton High School athlete.
