Maine catcher Myckie Lugbauer was named a third-team Louisville Slugger Preseason All-American by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper today.

Lugbauer led Maine with 43 RBIs last year and 19 doubles.
He finished the year with some solid batting stats:

• .343 batting average
• .552 slugging percentage
• .412 on-base percentage

Former Maine quarterback Adam Farkes just may surface at Division III Trinity College next fall.

The team competes in the NESCAC and went a perfect 8-0 this season.

The team's coach said he has spoken to Farkes but would not comment further.
Farkes was granted a release from Maine last week.

The accolades keep on rolling in for defensive end Jovan Belcher who was named a First-Team All-American this week by two organizations: the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and the Walter Camp Foundation.

Belcher was named a second team All-American last year.
Only four Black Bears have earned All-America honors in multiple seasons:

Jovan Belcher (2007-08)

Belcher finished a standout senior campaign with a conference leading 17.5 tackles for loss and was named the 2008 CAA Football Defensive Player of the Year at the close of the season.

It's still unclear exactly why he wanted to leave. Have tried to track down Farkes to speak to him personally about his decision to no avail. So unless we hear from him, his original quote is the only direct explanation.
