Prospective players who will be in high school this fall will meet tonight at 6:30 p.m. in Weiden Auditorium on the University of Maine at Presque Isle campus.
“These meeting is important for giving players and their parents a chance to meet the coaches and ask questions about the program,” said Stu Wyckoff, high school program administrator. “This is also the time when proper fitting (essential to safety) of helmets and shoulder pads will be done in order to assure having equipment available for every player when the season begins.”
Those unable to attend this meeting, in order to make arrangements to be fit for a uniform, need to contact Wyckoff at 764-7651.
The Class E state men’s softball tournament will be held in Caribou Friday through Sunday. The top teams will advance to the national tourney in Virginia later this summer. For more information, please contact Mike Patenaude at 764-6613.
