Foxcroft Academy catcher Brooks Law has been selected to play in both the Maine-New Hampshire Senior All-Star Game (in Nashua, N.H. on June 22) and the Maine Senior Class A/B All-Star Game (at Husson University in Bangor June 26 at 6:30 p.m.).

A three-year starter, Law capped a brilliant career with an outstanding senior season, batting .400 with six doubles, one home run and 24 RBI, allowing opponents to steal just 15 bases in 27 attempts (whereas Pony runners were 94-99) and striking out 15 hitters in 12 solid innings on the mound.
