In the Northern Division, Wahconah’s Matt Schneider was named the MVP after hitting .405 and driving in 28 runs to help his team reach the state Division 3 semi-finals.
The Northern Division Sportsmanship Award went outside the division to Ryan Meehan of McCann Tech, who plays outside the Berkshire County League. Meehan helped the Hornets win the Tri-County League title, go to the State Voc tournament and reach the championship game of the Western Massachusetts Division 4 tournament.
Mount Greylock’s Adam Hall won the Sportsmanship Award in the Southern Division. Hall, a senior, was one of a few returnees from the Mounties’ senior-laden 2015 state finalist squad. He helped Mount Greylock battle to a 10-10 regular season record and a trip to this year’s Western Mass tourney.
The Southern Division MVP is Hoosac Valley’s Matt Koperniak. He compiled a .512 average with three home runs for the Hurricanes, who reached the Western Mass Division 3 semi-finals.
The honorees each received a $500 scholarship from the BCUA, which generates funds from its annual golf tournament at Skyline Country Club.
