On Wednesday, the Maine Association of Basketball Coaches (MABC) announced the Maine McDonalds Senior All-Star teams, the coaches, along with the All-Academic Teams.
The ninety-eight student athletes representing high schools from around the State of Maine have been honored with the selection to the All-Star team in their school classification with twenty-four individuals being selected to the All-State Academic Team. The All-Star teams were selected based upon ballot returns in a statewide high school basketball coaches’ vote conducted by the MABC in January. Twenty-two coaches were named a 2023 MABC Coach of the Year in another vote conducted by MABC. These coaches will coach the All-Star team in their respective classifications. The All-Star games will take place at Husson University and Newman Gymnasium in Bangor on Saturday, March 11.
