With yesterday being a month to go till tryouts for many teams, I began to think back to last year. There were so many surprises that the season brought. For instance, Timberlane, a twelve seed, making it to the semi-finals. The injuries that plagued a Salem pitching staff that was destined for the finals. Merrimack being the shocking team of the year finishing with a 15-3 record. Jake Welch (Londonderry) and Stephen Szelog (Manchester Central)bursting onto the scene and both making first team all-state after incredible seasons. Josh Treff taking home the POY after another superb season.
What will 2012 bring us? I want to know who your cinderalla team is this year, what team will be a disappointment, what team will win it all. Also, who do you see being player of the year, and although it's not an actual award, pitcher of the year, hitter of the year, and who will be this year's Szelog and Welch.
Here are my thoughts:
Cinderella Team - Manchester Memorial
Disappointment Team - Merrimack
Championship Team - Concord
Player Of The Year - Graham McIntire (Concord)
Pitcher Of The Year - Jake Mellin (Nashua North)
Batter Of The Year - Dan Kinnon (Londonderry)
Unknown Stud Award - Jeff Lunn (Bishop Guertin)
