1. Cape Elizabeth: Ben Raymond’s Capers return as many or more players than any of their Class A competition. Senior attack Archie McEvoy is the playmaker for an explosive offense that features junior midfielders Nic Boudreau, Tiernan Lathrop and Colin Campbell, who each played significant roles as freshmen. Senior attack Oskar Frankwicz and freshman Keegan Lathrop, who scored five goals in his varsity debut, add punch. Seniors Charlie Whitney (goalie) and Gus Huffard (faceoffs) are first-year starters with veteran poise. The defense, led by senior Gavin Simopoulos, is less tested, but Cape has the depth and talent to get past South challengers Thornton Academy and Scarborough.

Chris Hamblett
Chris Hamblett of Boothbay, along with Naomi Reichsmann, were named North Yarmouth Academy’s Fall Athletes of the Year. Hamblett, a senior cross-country standout and the team’s most valuable player, also won the award in 2019. Reischsmann was an outstanding soccer player for the Panthers.
As a freshman, Hamblett finished 21st at the Class C state meet. He had his best finish as a sophomore at the state meet, finishing ninth. Last season he finished 16th.
Due to a rise in COVID-19 cases and the requirement that runners wear masks, there were no state meets. During the regular season meets, he finished in the top five and place eighth in the Western Maine Conference state qualifier.
