Digging Into the Archives

Ever feel the need to look up who holds the record for most points scored in a state championship game?(Andy Bedard for Mountain Valley in 1994) Maybe you want to know where your team finished in 1996.(My team, Presque Isle, finished 8th that year). Wondering who has the most gold balls in the state of Maine(Jonesport-Beals with 9). Well I have the site for you.
He calls himself the “stat guy” and the title is more than rightfully his. Frank Spanky, with the help from others, has been working rigorously to create the “Maine High School Basketball Archives.” He dedicates the site to all high school broadcast announcers, whether they are TV or Radio. The website offers many things: Photos(past and present), all tournament teams, all time tournament records, individual and team records, heal points(1961 and up), sportsmanship award winners, tournament brackets(1950 and up), along with many other random facts about high school basketball. I urge everyone to check this website out, you’ll find that an hour feels like 5 minutes when you’re here.
