Jake Hardy, Middlesex School  LACROSSE
		At an imposing 6 feet 5 inches and 200 pounds, Hardy would seem the perfect defensive foil to record-setting attacker Max Quinzani of Duxbury. Though they will not cross paths on a high school field, Hardy will cross sticks against the nation's best attackers at the 2006 National High School Senior Showcase in Missouri next week. He earned All-ISL, All-New England, and All-America honors during his senior season. Hardy also earned league all-star nominations for captaining Middlesex's hockey team.

During the summer, Wray competes in AJGA and MGA tournaments. Last summer, he had a strong performance in the Massachusetts State Junior championship, where he finished ninth.

Dan Zailskas, Milton Academy  BASEBALL
		Where is Zailskas a bigger threat - on the mound or in the batter's box? There's a good case for both. In his senior season, Zailskas went 6-1 with a 1.02 ERA in 46 innings, striking out 60. That ERA was tops in the Independent School League. He hit .389 with one home run, 12 RBIs to go along with a .583 on-base percentage in 52 plate appearances.

Garrett Lane, Pingree  TENNIS
		His 10-0 record during the season would be impressive enough for inclusion on this page.
