AUGUSTA, Maine (February 18, 2010) – In Augusta today, the Maine Association of Basketball Coaches (MABC) announced the A/B West and C/D West player selections for the 2010 Maine McDonald's® High School Senior All-Star Basketball Games.
Yesterday in Bangor, the A/B East and C/D East players were announced. Players representing 62 high schools from across the state have been honored with selection to the All-Star teams. (A complete player list is attached.) The All-Stars were selected based upon ballot returns on a statewide high school basketball coaches’ vote conducted by the MABC in January.
"Since 1988, the local Owner/Operators of Maine's McDonald's restaurants have been committed to recognizing student athletes across the state with this hallmark sporting event,” said Mike Ortins, local Maine McDonald’s Owner/Operator. “We salute the Maine McDonald's All-Star Team players for their dedication to academic and athletic excellence, sportsmanship and team spirit. "
Also announced were two high school seniors – one from the East and one from the West Division – who will be honored during the Games with the second annual Maine McDonald’s Spirit of the Game Award. The Western Division recipient is Molly Mooney, of Gray-New Gloucester High School. The Eastern Division recipient is Carlos Baeza of Camden Hills Regional High School. Mooney and Baeza will serve as the Managers for their respective division teams at the Games. “The recipients of this award embody the spirit of the sport, exemplify sportsmanship, show an ability to overcome obstacles and boundaries, and support and inspire their teammates and coaching staff,” stated Ortins.
The 2010 Maine McDonald's High School Senior All-Star Games will be played at Newman Gymnasium on the campus of Husson University in Bangor on Saturday, March 13. The game-day program will feature head-to-head competition between top players in the state's A/B and C/D Boys and Girls divisions.
