Eastern Mass. boys’ volleyball: Players of the Week for May 15-21

Here are notable performances from boys’ volleyball players competing in Eastern Mass. conferences/leagues in the past week.

Bennett Acheson, Westford — Amassing 15 kills, 5 blocks, 3 aces, and 5 digs, the sophomore right side engineered a four-set win over nonleague foe Lowell.

Finn Bell, Wayland — The new kills leader of Massachusetts. The senior broke the record (1,422 by Cambridge’s Jalen Penrose) in style, popping 97 combined between four wins and 18 sets to take out ranked opponents Natick, Acton-Boxborough, Needham, and Newton North. Bell has 1,429 entering his final tournament.

Ben Cleary, BC High — The outside hitter ripped 23 kills (hitting .378) in a four-set win over nonleague opponent Greater New Bedford, part of a three-game winning streak the senior sparked in his return from injury.

Mike Costa, Natick — After the senior right side’s 22 kills and two blocks to defeat Bay State rival Brookline in a grueling five-setter, coach Bob Harless said Costa “put the team on his back.”

Tri Duong, Latin Academy — The repeat Boston City League championship match MVP lifted 12 digs to propel the Dragons past O’Bryant in four sets. The junior has been crucial in a five-match winning streak to finish the regular season.

Kobe Lip, Weymouth — The junior smacked 18 kills — one for each season Bill McEachern has coached the Wildcats to earn his 200th win — in a sweep of Bay State Conference Herget Division rival Braintree.
