NHsportspage Division III All-State
First Team
Adrian Siravo of Gilford
Sammy Stauffeneker of Mascenic Regional
Kevin Newton-Delgado of Hopkinton
Anthony Gauthier of Conant
Phil Nichols of Winnisquam
Second Team
Jack Curtis of White Mountains
Ben Seiler of Mascoma
Jackson Ruelke of Belmont
Jake Kidney of Monadnock
Jacob Hamilton of Somersworth
Third Team
Brendan Rice of Campbell
Zach Barthel of Mascenic Regional
Shepyrd Murdough of Hopkinton
Diego Garcia of St. Thomas
Gunnar Horman of Winnisquam
Comments: Jack Curtis & Ben Seiler have a good argument for first team but at the end of the day, who are they replacing on the first team list? Phil Nichols led his 5th seeded team in scoring in 15 of 18 games and Gauthier carried the Conant offense all the way to the quarterfinals.
The All-Angry Email Team (players that could have been named to first, second or third team all-state but didn’t,,,and angry emails will probably be written to say just that)
Travis Wright of Somersworth
Nate Sottak of Belmont
Joaquin Heller of Campbell
Nate Krafton of Raymond
Trey Shaw of Mascenic Regional
Jalen Reese of Gilford
Jalen Lacasse of Berlin
Luke Brown of Inter-Lakes
Connor Hart of Conant
Josh Krafton of Raymond
Brody LaBounty of White Mountains
Kevin Putnam of Monadnock
Ethan Johnson of Somersworth
Connor Thompson of Mascoma
Jimmy Sullivan of St. Thomas
Connor Brannon of Monadnock
Luke Monesmith of Somersworth
Player of the Year: Adrian Siravo of Gilford
Runner-up: Sammy Stauffeneker of Mascenic Regional
Comments: Siravo was a clear choice but I think Stauffeneker has been overlooked. He gave up a lot of his scoring to facilitate the offense and the results were an 19-1 record. He was terrific.
Coach of the Year: Rick Acquilano of Gilford
Runners-up: Brandon Kear of Mascenic Regional & Jaryd Piecuch of Raymond
Comments: On a normal year Piecuch or Kear would have won but let’s talk about what Acquilano did. He took a team that went 8-10 and missed the tournament a year ago, changed the offense, changed the defense and changed the culture. The result was a 19-1 record.
NHsportspage Division IV All-State
First Team
Parker Briggs of Littleton
Josh Wheelock of Groveton

Malik McKinnon of Colebrook
Max Byron of Derryfield
Third Team
Julian Kenison of Groveton
Matt St. Cyr of Groveton
Peyton Rivers of Epping
Tyler Prentice of Pittsfield
Logan Willey of Newmarket
Comments: Krol-Corliss was tough to leave off the first team but Bedell gets the nod for running the point and leading the Panthers in scoring.
