I got the newspaper at my house today. They listed their all-state baseball team which was

Mike Montville-Portsmouth
Dylan Clark- Trinity
Derrick Sylvester- Franklin
Kyle Neverman- Londonderry
Brett Barrett-Keene
Mike Fransoso- portsmouth
Sean Lyons- trinity
Dan Feehan- Nashua South
Kory LeLievre- Alvirne
Adam Southwell- Keene

Coach of the Year Tim Hopley (Portsmouth)

This is just their all-state team....they listed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd team below this as well but it is far too many names for me to write down.
Think the UL got the top 10 right?

I think it's pretty accurate. A couple of players that could have made it may be.....Sean Caron & Garret Cole??

Tough when they only pick 10, including 2 pitchers. There is really not anyone who made the UL 1st team that is not very deserving of the recognition. The POY could have gone to a number of kids. Montville is a good pick. My method would be to put about 7 names on the wall and throw a dart to pick one.

Hoping next year's season is as fun and balanced as this year. Still wish Portsmouth was in Class L. Maybe they could scrimmage Goffstown, Londonderry & Keene next year for fun.
I want to give a big recommendation for Connor Lyons of Trinity. He and my son are here in East Cobb playing and I have had the pleasure of watching Connor in their 6 pool games. This kid is a player!!!!

Going into today he was 7 for 12 from the lead off spot. He is a terror on the bases - he creates havoc for the other team. Today he struggled in his first 3 at bats but singled with the bases loaded to end the game.

I was with him last night and he is confused why he has not received more attention by colleges. All I can say is these college coaches are missing the chance to get a quality player and quality person.

He hits, runs down balls in the outfield and is blazing fast. What are these coaches thinking!!
I think there alot of kids out there that can play. Being from the North Country kids don't much or any exposure. There are few from Kennett HS, and the Sr. Babe Ruth team from Lisbon has some very good players on it, from Lisbon, Lancaster, Berlin, and Gorham. I know that from the Conway area that next season we will see most, if not all the players heading to Plymouth to play Legion ball. Our area is not big enough to support a Legion team, and we are always calling up 15's for the Sr. Babe Ruth team. It will be intresting to see how they fair with the players from the southern area.
I still have not seen a full list of all classes All-State lists from this season but right from picking from the partial lists I have seen I have found 27 players from the 2008 Showcase roster that have been named all state. I have the list going at www.nhbaseball.org under 2008 roster.

The best players really do play in this league, if you're looking for some competition and to play against NH's best this is where you need to be this fall.
It is supposed to be printed in the Union leader. This year they did print it, but in the box-score section.
For the upcoming year I am going to push to have it posted on the coaches association web-site. Also, if my fellow L coaches are ok with it, then I would like to post the list on these boards- but I don't know how well that will be recieved.
I will try though!
Shipbuilder, I do not know why it is kept under wraps except perhaps as a courtesy to the Union Leader.
This year myself and a few other coaches are going to continue to suggest some changes to the overall format. Three teams are too many, takes away from the overall honor of it all.
I would suggest two teams and honorable mention. I doubt changes will be made, but it is an argument worth continuing (it has been argued before at these meetings).
