ROCKLAND — Frank 106.9 FM, WBQX, will broadcasting local high school basketball for a ninth straight year beginning Friday, Dec. 7 when the Lincoln Academy Eagles travel to Rockport to play the Camden Hills Windjammers.

Veteran broadcaster Don Shields will again lead the coverage and will be joined by Terry Spear and Chris Seavey for the 34 game regular season schedule that includes calling games from Oceanside, Medomak Valley, Camden Hills, Belfast, Lincoln Academy, Boothbay, Wiscasset, Mount View and Searsport High Schools. The station is also planning on broadcasting selected games involving these same schools during the state playoff tournaments from Augusta and Bangor in February.

All games will be also streamed via the FRANK 106.9 Facebook Page at mixlr.com/1069bball. 

“People are passionate about High School Basketball and the response to our coverage from fans and sponsors has been outstanding,” said Binnie Media Maine operations manager Stan Bennett. 

Shields, who is also the voice of the University of Maine women’s basketball team, has been the voice of Midcoast Maine high school sports since 1985, during which time he has called more than 1,200 high school games. Spear has been covering basketball for more than two decades in the Midcoast, Biddeford and Bath-Brunswick markets. Seavey, a former Rockland District High School standout, has more than a decade of on-air experience.
