Locals named to All-State basketball teams

By Tom King - Staff Writer | Mar 12, 2019

Telegraph photo by TOM KING Alvirne guard Ryan Weston, shown against Nashua South during the season, was a Second Team Division I All-State selection as well as a Jack Ford Award winner.

To the victors go the spoils.

The Bishop Guertin High School girls basketball team won a title, and the Campbell boys went as far as the Division III semifinals, by far the top local accomplishments of the high school basketball season.

Thus, those two teams placed, as one would expect, the most players on the New Hampshire Basketball Coaches Association All-State Teams – three each.

Other than that, only two teams – the Hollis Brookline girls and the Nashua North boys – had as many as two players receive All-State honors.

For Guertin, guard Erin Carney, the Cards’ leading scorer, was named to the Division I First Team, while guard Hannah Muchemore was on the Second Team and Bri Wilcox was a Honorable Mention. The only other local on the Division I team was Merrimack’s Theresa Twardosky, also an HM.

Hollis Brookline had two players on the girls Division II team, as highly regarded junior point guard Christina Balsamo was on the Second Team and senior center Elizabeth Atkinson an Honorable Mention. No other locals were on the Divisions II, III or IV girls teams.

As for the boys local All-Staters, Alvirne’s Ryan Weston was a Divsion I Second Teamer while Nashua North had Curtis Harris and Brenden Choate as Honorable Mentions. Merrimack’s Jared Dyer was also an Honorable Mention.

Weston was also Division I’s Jack Ford Award winner.

In Division II, Souhegan’s Matthew McCool was on the Second Team while Hollis Brookline’s Grant Snyder and Milford’s Max Fortin were Honorable Mentions.

Campbell led the area as Jonah Crema was on the Second Team and Joaquin Heller and Carter Vedrani were Honorable Mentions. There were no local players on Division IV.

Pinkerton’s Brooke Kane and Spaulding’s Ari Breakfield were named Miss and Mr. New Hampshire Basketball.

Here are the boys and girls teams in their entirety:
