McKayla Guerrette of Presque Isle also received the Butch Shaw Award following another steady season for the Lady Wildcats.

She was also selected to the Northern Regional All-Star Team for the third time in her career, underscoring her consistent level of play over multiple seasons, and capped off her Senior season by winning the Butch Shaw Memorial Award.

Fort Fairfield’s Cayden Ala played a key role in the Tigers’ successful boys soccer campaign.
