Tim Worster, Maranacook/Winthrop/Spruce Mountain, midfielder
After an undefeated regular season, his freshmen season ended earlier than expected, in the first round of the 2019 Class C playoffs. Then his sophomore season was wiped out by the coronavirus pandemic.
Hopkins unleashed his pent-up frustration as a junior in 2021, scoring 61 goals and dishing out 44 assists while leading Oak Hill/Lisbon/Monmouth to the Class C state championship game. Hopkins set a school scoring record and was picked as one of nine All-Americans by Maine Lacrosse Coaches Association.

Top storylines: Avoiding a COVID-19 pause may come down to luck, but navigating a season in which teams can expect games postponed or cancelled will be a key. With teams playing more regionally-based schedules, will new rivalries emerge?
Changes: The biggest change is the wearing of masks at all times. Athletes who competed in winter sports should have an easier time adjusting. For boys lacrosse players wearing helmets, keeping the mask from sliding down could prove difficult. It will be up to officials and coaches to help make sure masks are always worn properly.
