Xander Barber, Falmouth senior: Barber blitzed through his first season in Maine, winning the state singles tournament (defeating teammate Sam Yoon in the finals, 6-1, 6-0) and leading the Navigators to a 16-0 record and the Class A state championship. He plans to continue his tennis career at Dartmouth College.

As the 10th seed in state singles, he advanced to the quarterfinals with a 6-4, 7-6 victory over No. 7 Westy Granholm of MDI before falling 6-3, 7-5 to No. 2 Sam Yoon.

Khang Nguyen, Foxcroft Academy sophomore: Nguyen led the Ponies to a 14-2 record and the Class B state final. He lost only once in team play, to Westy Granholm of MDI. Seeded fourth in state singles, he survived a three-set quarterfinal against unseeded Charles Segal of Greely before falling in the semifinals to No. 1 Xander Barber.

Sam Yoon, Falmouth sophomore: A two-time singles state finalist who hits forehands from each side, Yoon led the Navigators to a 16-0 record and the Class A state championship. He was unbeaten in team competition, 8-0 in the season and 4-0 in playoffs. Seeded No. 2 in state singles, he advanced to the final before falling 6-1, 6-0 to teammate Xander Barber.

COACH OF THE YEAR

Jeff Madore, Waynflete: A repeat selection, Madore guided the Flyers to a 14-2 record, culminating in a 15th consecutive Class C state championship. That victory broke a tie with Old Town boys’ swimming for longest team-sport dynasty in Maine high school sports history. Madore is a master at making practices both interesting and productive, and always includes a dose of competition. (One example is playing H-O-R-S-E by breaking the serving boxes into six smaller segments, and calling your shot.) “The boys win it,” Madore said. “I just keep score.”
