Presque Isle's Guerrette Gets 1K Career Point in UMPI OT Win

Wildcats making headlines

A former star basketball player from Presque Isle High School has accomplished a rare feat from both high schools, and now at his hometown University. Griffin Guerrette, a 2018 graduate of PIHS finished his Wildcats career going over the 1,000-career points mark.

The impressive run of 2018

During the 2018 season Guerrette averaged an eye-popping 30 points-per-game and led Presque Isle to the semi-final round in the Class B tournament. Since graduating from PIHS, Guerrette has continued a solid career at the University of Maine-Presque Isle. Griffin is a senior studying business, and when he's not on the court or in the classroom, you can find him working his job selling vehicles. His work ethic has brought him to milestones very few can boast.
