Hudson Iacuessa from South Portland, the SMAA’s Most Valuable Pitcher, anchored a pitching staff that helped his team to a memorable campaign, and Kyle Johnson, a senior catcher from Bangor, played a pivotal role in the Rams securing the Class A North title.
Levi Laverdiere of Monmouth Academy, a junior pitcher and multi‑sport standout, continues to draw attention for his versatility, while Denny Martin, a senior first baseman and pitcher from Messalonskee, will join Hudson Iacuessa at Stonehill College next fall.
