Bangor’s Matt Fleming Named HS Athlete Of The Week

Matt Fleming of Bangor has been named First National Bank High School Athlete of the Week after posting a pair of 22-point games last week.

Fleming, a 6-6 senior, chipped in 22 points and 11 rebounds in the Rams' 65-47 triumph over Oxford Hills. His second 22-point game came in a 54-38 win at Windham High School.

Bangor is off to a 4-0 start after a win this week against Brewer, a 62-44 triumph for the Rams.
