Ayla Brown, Nobles  ISL BASKETBALL
		Although she received much acclaim and praise as a contestant on American Idol, Brown was hardly an unknown before she appeared on television. Last season’s Gatorade Massachusetts Player of the Year was named the ISL Most Valuable Player for the second time and was an All New-England Selection for the fifth time. She became one of the only players in Massachusetts history to hit the 2,000-point mark (2,358) and also has 1,152 rebounds in her career. Averaging 21 points per game, in one game, Brown hit 40 points on 14-for-19 shooting. The 6-foot senior will no doubt shine again at Boston College. She will study communications and, of course, singing.

Alex Englert, Belmont Hill  ISL SKIING
		Englert is only a sophomore, which is probably a disappointment to his opponents who could easily mistake his 6-foot frame for that of an upperclassman, on his way to college. Sorry, no. Englert was undefeated in regular-season competition and was named the ISL’s Most Valuable Player. He was also named New England co-MVP and won the New England Class B Slalom Championship. Take all those accomplishments and double them, because he’s won them all before. Englert is also a former Junior Olympian who previously participated in AAU and Mass Bay. His hobbies include music and ping-pong. Did we mention he’s only a sophomore?

Robert Farnham, Brooks  ISL HOCKEY
		Son of a former All-American football player at Brown University All-American, (who also played for the New York Giants in the NFL), Farnham took some of those aggressive skills to the ice as he earned his first All-Scholastic appearance. Just a sophomore, Farnham had 40 goals and 28 assists for 68 points this season and led the Brooks School to its third consecutive ISL Eberhart championship as the team finished with a league record of 9-1-2 and reached the NEPSIHA semifinals.

A three-sport athlete, Fayne was team MVP and a first team ISL All-Star in football and was also a first team ISL All-Star on the lacrosse team. In his spare time, he enjoys fishing.

Amy Hollstein, Lawrence Academy  ISL HOCKEY
		She hasn’t even stepped on the ice in collegiate competition yet, but Hollstein, who is headed to the University of Connecticut, is already receiving high praise for her hockey skills. ‘‘Amy is going to bring speed to our team and make us quick up front,’’ UConn coach Heather Linstad said on the Huskies web site. ‘‘She also has a terrific vision of the ice and is a gritty, determined competitor. Amy is a true hockey player.’’ We’re sure her Lawrence Academy coach would agree. This season, the senior scored 24 goals and 20 assists in 28 games. In her career, she has 80 goals and 70 assists.

Daniel Haruki Oshima, BB&N  ISL WRESTLING
		With hobbies like Origami, magic, and levitating, it’s no surprise that Oshima folded up his competition and made them disappear. Cocaptain of the BB&N team, he was an ISL champion at both 152 and 160 pounds and third at the New England Prep championships in both weight classes. He is a two-time USA Junior National Judo Champion. He was selected to the 2002 and 2003 USA Junior Pan-American teams and is a four-time Massachusetts senior champion.

A month later, she finished first in the Junior Mass Open Tournament, and just a month after that, she finished second in the New England Championships. This March, at nationals, she grabbed sixth. But as for that high school record, Aziz was undefeated in dual match competition as well as in the ISL for the second season in a row. It’s appropriate that her name is dominated by the letter A: The senior standout will attend Yale in the fall.

Mark Froot, Belmont Hill  ISL SQUASH
		Froot has taken his trim, 5-foot-9-inch, 149-pound frame and hoisted it to the top of the squash game. The senior is ranked the No. 1 junior in the US as of March.

Bethany Riley, Pingree  PREP BASKETBALL
		Riley really took a step back her senior year — that is, a step back behind the 3-point line. A point guard, she netted 40 3-pointers and averaged 8 points per game this season for Pingree. The team captain, she was named Most Valuable Player of the EIL as well as of her team, and she was selected to the EIL and NEPSAC All-Star teams.
