The
roller coaster ride has only been going higher up the
mountain for the Mustang basketball team. The squad has
averaged 20+ for years and along the way managed to
capture one NNESCC championship, seven MSCC state
championships, two Yankee Championship, three
appearances at the USCAA National tournament, four
appearances in the USCAA National Tournament and the
most impressive stat of them all... one USCAA National
Tournament Championship!! All this has been created with
players whose pride and dedication are second to none.
What
started as "The
House that Dane Built" continued with
"The House that Danny
Owns", transferred to the one
"Patrick purchased!"
and is now being rented by the “2007-08 Cinderella
team.” In between the 15 years, the glory teams of
Spadea, Boudreau, Leclerc, Coleman and Cwiklinski ruled
the roost in Maine. The blue collar teams of Dickson,
Peavey and DeBruin won our respect but the Cinderella
team of Labonte, Smithgall, Sceviour, Damm and Angell
captured our hearts. One thousand point scorers have
turned out to be the norm, All-Americans and All-New
England selections are par for the course and All-Star
selections are many. Pride, character and class describe
players who wear CM colors. To qualify, players must
work hard on and off the court. Classroom dedication is
as important as hardwood participation. Players are held
to a higher standard! Throughout the many campaigns our
men have risen to every occasion.
The future
looks bright. Outstanding players visit Auburn each week
seeking an opportunity to join one of the best.
Standards are high, very few "fit in". Once a player
signs on, the roller coaster only goes one way …
