Maine Field Hockey Association honors three local athletes

A trio of area high school student-athletes were honored for their performances during the 2015 season by the Maine Field Hockey Association.

Named to the association’s All-State Team are Dexter Regional High School senior forward Katie Batron, Foxcroft Academy senior back Avery Carroll and senior midfielder Alanna Page of Piscataquis Community High School.

All-State criteria includes: consistent performance at a high skill level; demonstrates leadership on and off the field; exhibits excellent sportsmanship; and is dedicated to the game of field hockey. Each varsity coach is able to nominate up to three players from their team for this award. The nominees are then voted on by all varsity coaches in the state — each coach may vote for up to 11 players not including their own.

Carroll received a second MFHA honor by being chosen for the Academic All-State Team.

For Academic All-State, varsity coaches may nominate any seniors from their team that meet the following criteria: must rank in the top 10 percent of her class and have a GPA of 97 or higher for three years; must be a current member of the varsity team and must have been a part of the team for two years; must have made a significant contribution to the team this year; and must be a senior and of good moral character.

The field hockey honorees will be recognized at the Association banquet on Dec. 6 at the Augusta Civic Center.
