Rogers, coming over from St. Thomas Aquinas High School for his senior season, took his talents to the Division I level, and did not disappoint, being named to the Division I all-state first team.

The Blue Hawk senior scored a season-high 39 points, with nine 3-pointers, in Exeter's 90-80 win over Bishop Guertin late in the season. He also had performances of 22 points, six rebounds and three steals in a quarterfinal loss to Trinity, 23 points in a win over Concord, and 20 points in a win over Memorial.

Rogers averaged 18 points per game, seven rebounds per game and 2.2 steals per game. He also set a school record with 73 3-pointers made in a season, a school record for 3-pointers in a game with nine against BG and averaged 3.3 treys per game.

"Brady had a terrific year, especially the last half of the season," Exeter head coach Jeff Holmes said. "Brady did it all for us."

Theriault has had back-to-back seasons earning a spot on the Class A South all-conference first-team.

Theriault entered the rotation in her freshman season, and has been making her presence felt ever since.

In a win this season against Falmouth, Theriault had 14 points, 12 rebounds, six steals and four assists for the Hawks - a true do-it-all game. She also had 18 points in a win over Kennebunk and 15 points in a win over Noble.

On the season, Theriault averaged a double-double with 14 points, 12 rebounds, three steals, 2.5 assists per game and shot 68 percent from the free throw line.

"I'm very happy for Sarah for winning this award," Marshwood head coach Angie Littlefield said. "She's the glue that holds our team together and it's felt on both sides of the floor. She can really take over a game and opponents often don't have an answer for her; it makes her a real threat. She's also been an incredible teammate for us this year, which is just as important as her impact in the game."
