Comments: I had a harder time with this list than the other three combined. First of all Cody Graham should be on first team, remember he led Portsmouth to a 5-0 record when Joey Glynn was out injured. But who am I taking out of that first five? Galanes and Giroux are two very good players who would be higher if their teams had made the tournament. Linton was as good as any player over the second half but was up & down over the first half of the season. When he took off so did Nashua North..great scorer. Max Chartier reminds me of Matt Rizzo and that’s a high compliment. The last third team pick was really difficult as it came down to Carrier and Steve Natola….really difficult.
Player of the Year: Joey Glynn
If you drafted a team of players from Division I he is your first pick. Glynn finished his career with a terrific final four in Durham.

Coach of the year: Mark Elmendorf of Bedford
Yes there was a lot of talent and always will be but to replace five starters and go all the way to the final Saturday is very impressive. This was a very good coaching job.
