Windham Eagles own Nick Curtis was selected by Portland Press Herald as a Preseason Top 10 Player to Watch for the 2016-2017 Season.  Nick joins 9 other highly talented southern Maine basketball players looking to help their team reach their goals this season.  Nick is coming off his sophomore campaign averaging 16.8ppg and an SMAA best 6.6 apg.

• Jordan Bagshaw, Greely senior guard: An outstanding 6-1 shooter who averaged 18 points per game as a junior, he can also score at the rim. Bagshaw and 6-6 senior Matt McDevitt will lead a veteran team that expects to challenge for the Class A title.
• Ruay Bol, South Portland senior forward: His 22-point second half in the AA South final showed that the lean, 6-5 forward is capable of building on his junior averages of 9.9 points and 6.4 rebounds.
• Jack Casale, Cheverus senior guard: An all-around player who can score, rebound and defend, he averaged 16.2 points and 7.2 rebounds and has improved athletically.
• Colin Coyne, Falmouth senior guard: A key multi-year contributer for the defending Class A state champions, he can score and create opportunities for Falmouth’s big but relatively inexperienced frontcourt.
• Nick Curtis, Windham junior guard: Now a known commodity, the gritty point guard will look to build on a sophomore season in which he averaged 16.8 points and led the SMAA with 6.6 assists per game.
• David Keohan, Thornton Academy junior forward: An all-around player who does many things well and can play multiple positions, he averaged 10.8 points and 6.3 rebounds as a sophomore.
• Trevor LaBonte, York senior forward: The 6-6 forward can play all over the court and contributes points (18 per game last season), rebounds and assists.
• Alek Medenica, Yarmouth senior forward: Medenica is a rugged 6-7 and averaged 15 points and more than 10 rebounds per game. He and 6-6 Nolan Hagerty lead a Class B contender.
• Terion Moss, Portland junior guard: Quick and savvy, Moss can seemingly get to the rim at will. He’ll be asked to look for his shot even more after averaging 14.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and an SMAA-best 3.2 steals as a sophomore.
• Ben Onek, Deering sophomore forward: A high-flying 6-5 forward who can shoot from outside, Onek played sparingly as a freshman but is pegged as a player with star potential by several area coaches.
