The official announcement comes later this week, but Andover High hoop and volleyball standout Meghan Thomann Friday will accept a scholarship to play for Division 2 national powerhouse Bentley College. An Eagle-Tribune Super Teamer, Thomann continues the tradition of Warrior scholarship hoopsters. Much more in coming editions of The Eagle-Tribune.
And speaking of Andover scholar-athletes, congrats to Ilana Cohen, who recently made her decision to play lacrosse on scholarship at the Division 1 University of New Hampshire.
Cohen will join her fellow Warrior captains Kelly Driscoll and Georgianna “Jordy” Shoemaker (both committed to Notre Dame) at the Division 1 level.
Great job by all.
And let’s hope when they’re at college they get a little better treatment than recently shown Lawrence’s Tiffany Colon recently by first-year Maine coach Cindy Blodgett.
Here’s a dedicated kid from the city, first in her family to break through in college, first Division 1 Lawrence High girls hoop player ever, who pours her heart into the Maine program, sacrifices her body, then gets swatted in the coaching change.
Of what could Blodgett be thinking, cutting Colon before tryouts and ripping her scholarship away?
Good luck to Tiffany, a total class act who deserves a hoop home where she can thrive and prosper, not where the coach is apt to quit on you before tryouts, because as the Bangor Daily News reported, Blodgett said the UMaine program was not a good fit for the sophomore.
