Bridgton Academy Basketball

Bridgton Academy’s Basketball has a rich tradition, with four NEPSAC AAA championships and countless Division I careers under its belt, as well as several NBA and other pro league careers. Since 1997 Coach Whit Lesure (a New England Basketball Hall-of-Famer) has built a program that has prided itself on creating college-ready student athletes who can step on a college campus and make an impact.
