9 Aroostook County Athletes Gain Recognition 

Big East Basketball announced the weekly awards for the conference as the regular season is coming to an end this week. Once again, several players from Caribou, Houlton, and Presque Isle girls' and boys' teams received recognition for their outstanding play.

Madelynn Deprey Player of The Week!

Caribou Vikings star freshmen Madelynn Deprey has been selected as the Big East Player of the Week in their week 8 awards. Deprey averaged just over 22 points per game and 11 rebounds per game in Caribou's three contests last week, including a 30-point performance in a victory over Orono. Madelynn's performance has placed the Vikings at #8 in Class B North, with point-worthy games left against rival Presque Isle and Washington Academy.

Caleb Solomon was a beast for the Houlton Shires last week and his 16.25 ppg, 3 assists, 6.5 rebounds, and 1 steal per game earned him a spot on the weekly honor roll. Solomon's teammate Isaiah Gentle held averages of 10.75 ppg, 3.5 assists, and 3.25 steals per game, to earn the honor roll nod. Presque Isle had 3 players named to the honor roll for the week.
