Jim Harmon – Scarborough cross country

Scarborough’s boys’ cross country team won the Class A state title this fall.

By a single, solitary point.

The Red Storm hadn’t captured a crown since 2018 and finished second to Portland at the regional meet, but they put it all together when it mattered most and the end result was a title and Harmon’s third selection as our Coach of the Year.

Harmon, who has been Scarborough’s coach for 27 seasons, was also chosen in 2004 and 2018.

Mike Farley – Scarborough soccer

While Scarborough’s girls’ soccer team wasn’t able to earn an unprecedented third consecutive Class A state title this fall, the Red Storm came pretty darn close.

And after having to replace one of the all-time program greats and having to battle several tough foes in a difficult region, Scarborough made it to the final Saturday again, earning Farley his fifth Coach of the Year selection.

Farley was also honored in 2010, 2012, 2019 and 2022.

Farley took over the Red Storm program in 2005 and has now won 273 games, nine regional titles and four Gold Balls.
