Falmouth, Freeport, Greely, North Yarmouth Academy and Yarmouth all enjoyed memorable moments during the fall sports season. Each school also had their share of standouts named to all-star teams. Here’s a look at who was honored in football, soccer, field hockey, cross country, golf and volleyball:
Football
On the heels of Yarmouth’s stirring run to the Western C Final, it’s no surprise that the Clippers (along with Falmouth, Freeport and Greely) had players named to the Campbell Conference all-star team.
In Class C, Yarmouth’s senior defensive lineman Spencer Dorsett, senior quarterback Eric Estabrook, junior offensive lineman Nick Proscia and senior defensive back Brodie Woodson all made the team. Freeport senior running back Miguel Beckles was also selected.
In Class B, Falmouth junior Caleb Bowden and senior lineman Josiah Fiegelson and Greely junior linebacker Jon Higgins were honored.
Boys’ soccer
Forecaster Country grows superb soccer players like wildfire and 2009 was no different. The Western Maine Conference’s Class A and B boys’ first team featured 11 players, nine who came from our towns.

NYA’s field hockey team made it back to the Class C state final, but fell short this year. Regardless, the Panthers certainly got the attention of other coaches in the WMC as five players made the all-star team.
Kylie Dalbec, Lianna Hachborn and Frances Leslie were named to the District 2 first team, along with Freeport’s standout senior goalie Hannah Schuchert. Jamie Rogers and Ashley Salerno made the second team, along with Freeport’s Hannah Goodenow and Mia Taggart.
