Paul Nardone helped anchor one of the region's best defenses at Algonquin. Paul becomes the 14th All American from the Northborough-Southborough program.
2015 All American Mike Martens, Jr. FO/M, Algonquin- Albany
Martens was the top faceoff specialist in Central Mass, and the Albany commit only improved offensively as the year went on. Not only was he automatic at the X, Martens quickly emerged as Algonquin's most lethal offensive weapon, pacing the T-Hawks with 42 points (25G, 17A). Mike is our 13th All American from the Northborough-Southborough program.

Michael Araujo - Algonquin Regional High School, Team Captain - 2007 All American - Keene State
Usually, the position of captain on high school sports teams is reserved for seniors. Mike Araujo, however, broke the mold in more ways than one. The lacrosse all-American led Algonquin as a captain in each of the past two years, earning the complete respect of his teammates and coaches from day one.
"Mike was the heart and soul of our program," said head coach Rich Luongo. "We pretty much relied on him for just about everything. He was the nucleus of our offense and also played solid defense. We had him running up and down the field."
With 35 goals and 18 assists this season as a midfielder, Araujo was a legitimate scoring threat every time he touched the ball. Luongo says Araujo could have scored 60.
"If he was someone that nobody knew he probably would have had 50 or 60 goals. He was double and triple teamed every time he got the ball," Luongo said.
During his four years with the lacrosse program, Araujo led the Tomahawks to district titles three times, including this spring. As a first-year head coach, Luongo says Araujo's support was integral to the success of this year's team.
"Coming in as a new coach, you're always nervous about getting captains and seniors on board. Mike stepped right up to the plate and it was comforting to know he had our backs. We needed that to be successful," Luongo said.
Araujo will head to Keene State in the fall, where he expects to study environmental science. In the spring, he will suit up as a college lacrosse player for the first time.
"I can't wait for school to start. I'm really pumped about it," Araujo said. "I saw the coach a little while ago and he said they didn't have much depth in the midfield this year. It would be nice if I could step in and play some as a freshman."
Luongo doesn't doubt that Araujo will impact the program immediately.
"I think he's good enough to play right away for a good program. I think it's a good fit academically and athletically," Luongo said. "He's really excited and I'm looking to take our team up there to watch him next year."
Araujo is thrilled about the opportunity to get out on the field for Keene State next spring, but he knows academics will take priority once he gets there.
"I think I do the whole time management thing pretty well. I hope to do my schoolwork first and everything else afterwards. It's expensive not to do that," Araujo said.
High School Honors: Team captain
Brian Cooke - Algonquin Regional High School - 2006 All American - Union College
The 6-foot-3, 200-pound Cooke capped his career as the leading goal-scorer in Central Mass. for the third straight season, getting 50 this year to go with 29 assists. He graduates as the region's all-time leading scorer, and is sixth all-time in Massachusetts with 414 points (228 goals, 186 assists). A two time All-American, the senior is also a four-time first-team Central Mass. pick and made the second team as a freshman.

The attack has played in the National Senior Showcase and will attend Union College in the fall as an environmental studies major. In his spare time, he enjoys playing the guitar and kayaking. He's the son of Christine and Brian Cooke of Southboro.

Chris Jacobson - St. John's High School - 2006 All American - Union College
A three-time Central Mass. All-Star, the senior attack helped the Pioneers to an 11-5 record this season, including a perfect 9-0 in the Central Mass. A League. Jacobson's 82 points (48 goals, 34 assists) led the league and helped him cement his spot as the all-time leading scorer at St. John's. The 5-foot-8, 160-pounder was named an All-American this season as the Pioneers won their third straight league title. The senior lists those three championships as among his most memorable moments in sports, but all trail the 2004 Central Mass. tournament title.
