Boys and Girls Teams Advance Saturday
On Saturday at Southern New Hampshire University it was a quadruple header of action in NH Class M where both the boys and girls semi-final games were held. Two players in particular stood out above the rest in these games.
Sean Martin, Conant (2010) - The 6'0" senior guard is the reigning Class M Player of the Year. This kid can really play. He is now ranked as one of the top 20 players in the class of 2010 for NH. He scored a game-high 20 points in Conant's 60-57 semi-final win over Mascoma Valley. Martin is explosive to the hoops, has great quickness and is all over the place defensively. Folks in NH Class M know all about him already, but it's time the rest of the area does as well. Martin's stock as a legit D-III prospect is rising.
Brooke Springfield, Conant (2011) The 5'8" junior guard is also the reigning Class M Player of the Year, as sh
e won the award last season on the girls side as just a sophomore. Springfield (pictured left) is currently the #2 ranked junior in the state of New Hampshire. The Conant girls were only the #8 seeded team in the Class M tournament, but they have now advanced to the title game after beating #1 ranked Somersworth last Friday night and #4 ranked Mascoma Valley. In Saturday afternoon's 41-30 win Over Mascoma, Springfield scored a game-high 17 points.Other players who stood out on Saturday at SNHU were Berlin's Curtis Arsenault and Conner Torrey of Mascoma. Arsenault is a 6'1" sophomore forward who can really play. He has a very strong build, and can score and rebound with anyone in NH. On Saturday night he led Berlin to an easy 49-23 win over White Mountains Regional. He had 18 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. Torrey meanwhile is a very talented post player for Mascoma. Although his team lost the game, Torrey was the player who kept them in it the whole way. He was a force inside on both ends of the floor, finishing with 20 points and 12 boards.
