 Comments: First and second teams were not tough choices but some very good players missed out on third team…

 

 Player of the year: Bryton Early of Somersworth

 This was a division full of great performances but Early was the pre-season pick and as he held the championship plaque over his head at Southern New Hampshire it was clear that no one took it away from him…

 Runner-up: Evan Arsenault of Berlin

 

 Coach of the Year: Mike Curtis of White Mountains

  Curtis did a terrific job with the Spartans group ready to win. After a stunning win at Conant and battling a very good Campbell team in the quarterfinals White Mountains will return all five starters next season.

 Runner-up: Jim Hill of Monadnock
