The Southwestern Maine Activities Association recently released its All-Conference teams and awards, and Thornton Academy junior Ben Lambert was named the conference’s Most Valuable Player.

Lambert was a dual threat for the Trojans this season, as both one of the league’s top hitters and top pitchers.

On the mound, Lambert was fourth in the league with a 0.86 ERA, first in innings pitched, with 57, and second in strikeouts, with 68, while earning five wins.

At the plate, Thornton’s leadoff hitter compiled a .393 batting average (14th best in the SMAA) and .607 slugging percentage (fourth) while collecting 24 hits (second), 18 runs scored (third) and 10 RBIs (12th). Lambert led the league with four triples.

Lambert was one of three local players named to the All-Conference first team, as he was selected for the honor as both a pitcher and a utility player. Teammate Brandon Hall was selected as the All-SMAA first-team catcher, while Biddeford’s Casey Twomey was named a first-team infielder.

Massabesic’s Remi Gaetjens was selected to the second team as both a third baseman and a pitcher and Sanford’s Xavier Chase was named the All-Conference second team second baseman.

Massabesic’s Dawson Renaud was named to the SMAA All- Defensive team as a catcher.

Making it on the SMAA All-Academic list were: Gaetjens, Sanford’s Matthew Toth and Thornton Academy’s Mitchell Jacques, Tourner Moseley and Conor Purvis.
