It is the first day of the fall signing period that will last for ten days and the first opportunity for players in the…

Peter McMillan is headed to Cornell. The California native committed on Monday, less than 24 hours after returning from an official visit to the defending Ivy League champions. “I couldn’t be happier with my decision to go to Cornell,” he said. “My visit couldn’t have gone better. Everything about it was a great fit. When I was watching their practice, I could definitely see myself thriving in their system.” NMH head coach John Carroll was quick to echo his forward’s…

Stephens, and Pat Donnelly are four newcomers who all come to Proctor by way of Canada. The foursome joins local post-graduate Mike Stys and a young sophomore in Ian Baker…

Hamilton Adds Another ShooterLast year Hamilton College head coach Tobin Anderson came into New England and scooped up two of our best shooters in Ephraim McDowell and Russ Rosenband.

And while Benvenuti can no doubt stroke the ball from the perimeter, he has a complete skill set that allows him to score points in a variety of different ways. Combine that with his 6’6” frame at the small forward position and…

The St. Andrew’s basketball program is one of the most storied in all of New England. Mike Hart’s squad has won six NEPSAC class B titles including back to back championships in 2006 and 2007. But last season, St. Andrew’s failed to advance to the post-season tournament for the first time in recent memory. Between that, and the fact that they were losing two scholarship players in Mike Culpo and Brian Hanuschak, and Coach Hart knew his roster was in…

Bridgton Academy is likely to find themselves right in the thick of the NEPSAC class A race this year and a big reason will be the presence of Carl Blair on the perimeter. The 6’2” guard is extremely versatile and should be one of Whit Lesure’s better playmakers this season. With a strong body, good ball skills, and excellent body control Blair is very adept at getting into the lane and making plays for himself and his teammates. He thrives…
