Each year for more than 30 years, the Hockomock comes together in May to honor two student athletes from each of the 12 Hock schools. Two graduating student athletes from each school are selected for excelling in both the classroom and on the playing field. It is really the award that best exemplifies and honors those who embrace the mission of educational athletics.
It is extremely difficult to select recipients given that so many Bulldogs prioritize the "student" part of being a student athlete. Canton's two award winners this year were Mercia Kolokithas and Dominic Gray. Both Kolokithas and Gray have earned amazingly high GPA's during their four years at CHS, while also contributing greatly to the many teams they have been a part of.
Mercia Kolokithas has participated on many Bulldog athletic teams during her four years here, including Unified Basketball, Unified Track & Field, Lacrosse, and Volleyball, but it was in the Basketball program where she really excelled. A three-year varsity contributor and leader, Mercia successfully navigated both highly successful seasons as well as more challenging campaigns. Regardless of the season, she was always an amazing role mode. AND- she set a new school record for 3-pointers in a game with NINE in one of the final days of her career. She will be attending Cornell University in the fall.
The CHS Athletic Department proudly wishes both of these soon-to-be graduates, the best of luck in the next chapters of their lives.
