BANGOR, Maine — Aroostook County boys and girls basketball players will be well represented at the McDonald’s Senior All-Star games.
The top athletes in the state will gather in Bangor on Saturday, March 12, for the all-star games.
The honorees were announced Wednesday at a news conference at the Cross Insurance Center. The Maine Association of Basketball Coaches announced the Maine McDonald’s All Star teams and coaches, along with the All-State Academic Teams and Mr. and Miss Maine Basketball semifinalists.
For County schoolboys, Austin Delisle and Evan Deschaine of Fort Kent; Hunter Burpee of Southern Aroostook; and Lucas Haines of Central Aroostook were named to the Class C/D boys all star squad.
For County schoolgirl athletes, Presque Isle’s Faith Sjoberg and Mia Henderson were named to the AA/A/B North squad, while Camryn Ala of Fort Fairfield and Makayla Hartsgrove of Katahdin were named to the C/D North team.
