ROCKLAND — FRANK 106.9, WBQX- FM, will broadcast local high school basketball for an eighth straight year beginning Friday, Dec. 8 when the Camden Hills Windjammers travel to Lincoln Academy to battle the Eagles in a boys basketball contest.

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 will include Oceanside, Medomak Valley, Camden Hills, Belfast, Lincoln Academy, Searsport, Wiscasset and Mount View High Schools.

The station is also planning to broadcast selected games involving these same schools during the Northern Maine Classes A and B as well as Southern Maine Class C and D Tournament from Augusta and Bangor this February.

Stan Bennett, Operations Manager for Binnie Media Maine, is pleased that FRANK 106.9 will be airing the games again this year. “People are passionate about High School Basketball in [Midcoast] Maine and the response to our coverage from fans and sponsors has been outstanding,” he said in a press release.

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 1,300 high school games. Spear has been covering basketball for nearly two decades in the Midcoast, Biddeford and Bath-Brunswick markets. Seavey, a former Rockland District High School Standout, has more than decade of on-air experience.
