The New Hampshire Soccer Coaches Association has announced its 2016 All-State selections, and five Hanover players were named to the team.
Marauder co-Captain Sam Strohbehn was named to the NHSCA Division One Second Team, the second year in a row that he has received this distinction.
Four Hanover players received Honorable Mention: Seniors Jake Acker and Patrick Logan, Junior Sam Pych, and freshman Charlie Adams.
Commented Coach Rob Grabill, "We're thrilled to have five players recognized. Only one other Division One team, Exeter, had this many named to the team. The system favors teams that make it to the Final Four, so this is a real honor."
Strohbehn, Acker and Logan have been invited to participate in the Saturday tryouts for the NH Lions Twin State Cup, the annual senior all-star game against Vermont. Strohbehn and Logan were named to the Division One All-Star Game this Sunday in Exeter.

Ready to Party; Housing Help Sought
We're looking forward to seeing everyone at the Soccer Celebration Wednesday evening. We'll start at 6:00 in the HHS gym with the fabulous dessert buffet (it's potluck, and we look forward to your contributions). We'll then give each Head Coach a chance to speak about their seasons, hand out certificates to every team member, and also recognize a number of individual award winners.
We're making a slight adjustment to the post-dessert program. We have always enjoyed rushing though the team awards, and made a point of limiting each coach to a microscopic amount of time. We are changing that a bit this year for two reasons. First of all, we had a record number of participants in the program, and it's only right to give each player a chance to be recognized. Secondly, it was an unusually good year for our four teams. We're not just talking about won-loss records here, although we certainly did well in that respect. But as you may intuit and will also hear, this was a great year for team chemistry and we want to honor that.
As a result, we'll be shortening the musical end of things. We look forward to hearing from the soccer-dominated Soarthroats, but we'll be giving our other instrumentalists the night off. We are also excited about continuing the tradition of ending the evening with the teaser trailer of our year-end highlight film. We have previewed the all-goal extravaganza, and it's clear to see why we had a list of more than 10 candidates for Goal of The Year.
Changing the subject, we have a request for you to consider: One of our Reserve players, an exchange student from Germany, is hoping to prolong his stay in the US and at Hanover High School. To do that, he needs a host family. If your family would like to consider opening your home, please lets us know. He loves to ski, and is looking forward to experiencing winter in the Upper Valley. Can you help?

Four-Team Celebration Wednesday Night
All four Marauder boys' teams will gather with parents and siblings in the HHS gym this Wednesday to celebrate the end of an amazing season. We'll start with the annual dessert potluck. Please bring some sort of dessert (best in a non-returnable container). Perhaps you'll want to have a light supper before you come, so the dessert buffet will be non-guilty.
After dessert, we'll give each coach the opportunity to present certificates and awards in a breathtakingly short ceremony. Owing the the large numbers this season, and the success enjoyed by each team, we are expanding the allotted time to 12.5 minutes per team! That will allow the Freshmen to hear a few more haikus from Coach Willie, and allow Coach Matt Starr to chime in as well. This will also allow Reserve Coach Erik McEwen to use first AND last names for each of his 30-plus players!
Following the awards, we'll move briskly to the Auditorium to hear a sampling of the musical virtuosity contained in the program. Expect some surprises! We should be able to hit the streets sometime close to 8:00 following an evening of fun and celebration. See you then!
