Whitmore earns induction into Maine Basketball Hall of Fame

Firecrackers coach was inducted into the New England Hall of Fame in 2013

The Maine Basketball Hall of Fame named its 2016 class of inductees at the Cross Insurance Center on Wednesday. Among the new members being inducted in August is current Maine Firecrackers coach Kevin Whitmore.

Whitmore, a current resident of South Portland, helped lead Waterville High School to a state title in 1985. He was a second-team All-State selection in 1986 and a first-team selection in 1987, before enrolling in Dartmouth College. After one year there, he returned to Waterville to play at Colby College.

Whitmore was a 1991 All-American for the Mules and finished with 1,357 points in just three seasons (76 games). He still ranks 12th all-time in scoring at Colby. He was a deadly 3-point shooter, nailing 188 3-pointers in his three seasons at Colby.

Whitmore was previously inducted into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame, in June of 2013.
