Windham native starring for Colby-Sawyer hoop team

Will Clemmer of Windham is returning for his second season as a member of the Colby-Sawyer College basketball team.

Clemmer, a sophomore at the New London, N.H. college, has been working hard in the offseason, according to Chargers head coach Bill Foti. Will clearly had the best off-season of anyone this past year,” Foti said. “He has worked very hard to transform his body and has forced his way into the rotation.”

The Chargers’ roster has a definite Maine flavor to it this season, besides Cousins, there are four other Mainers on the squad.

Andrew Cousins of South Portland is looking to help lead the Chargers into the postseason.

Cousins, a junior, started 18 games for the Chargers last season, averaging 9.8 points per game.

“Andrew is an athletic defender on the perimeter and a good shooter,” said Foti. “When he shoots the ball well, he gives us a different dimension.”

Joining Cousins and Clemmer on the Colby-Sawyer squad this season are sophomore Andre Tracy of Ellsworth and freshmen Caleb Jordan of North Yarmouth and Brandon Carbone of Portland.

Gray swimmer wins three events for Alfred University

Brian Argo, a junior at Alfred University, won two individual events and was part of a winning relay team at a recent meet to help the Saxons’ mens swimming team sustain a 14-meet winning streak.

Argo won two individual events, the 200-yard individual medley and the 100-yard breaststroke in the same meet. Argo was also a member of the relay team that swam to victory in the 400-yard medley relay.

Argo wasn’t the only Maine swimmer helping the Saxons to victory. Senior Page Beecher of Scarbrough, won three events at the same meet.

Beecher won the 200-yard freestyle, the 100-yard butterfly and the 500-yard freestyle to help the Saxons to a 146-97 win over RIT last month.
