Coach of the Year

Dylan Thombs, Yarmouth Nordic

A first-year head coach after serving as an assistant the previous winter, Thombs helped continue a smooth transition following the 2018 retirement of legendary Clippers mentor Bob Morse. The Yarmouth girls held off Caribou, Maranacook and Freeport in the highly-competitive Class B state meet to win a third consecutive state championship. “From day one, the emphasis was family,” said Thombs, who credited assistants Anna Franceschetti, Tracy Teare, Connor Gray and Grady Welsh with fostering that culture. “Our girls did an amazing job supporting one another. We have a huge wealth of talent across the team and it’s so fun to work with each of them.”
