Connor Robertson Of Orono Earns Athlete Of The Week Honors

Orono's Connor Robertson has been named First National Bank High School Athlete of the Week.

Robertson dropped 31 points in the Red Riots' 64-55 season-opening triumph over the Ellsworth Eagles last Saturday. The 6-4 senior connected on seven three-pointers.

It was an impressive return to the court for Robertson, who missed the end of last season with a knee injury.

The Red Riots, who advanced to the quarter-finals of last season's Class B North tournament, are off to a 2-0 start after defeating John Bapst, 71-59, at Orono High School on Tuesday.

Other nominees this week included Brandon Glidden of Brewer, Trinity Montigny of Ellsworth, Dom Mitchell of Old Town and Emilee Cohen of Central.
