Maine basketball star seeking girls’, women’s hoop experiences

Wed, 03/23/2022 - 2:00pm

Former basketball star at the University of Maine and Mount View High School and 2015 Maine Basketball Hall of Fame inductee Emily Ellis will be holding a Zoom press conference at noon on Friday, March 25 to talk about the Hall’s project to collect, preserve and share basketball experiences of Maine girls and women.

The Hall is inviting females of all ages to share their stories and memories — from playing 6-on-6 to coaching USA Basketball, and from officiating middle school games to reporting on college contests. We believe the stories, individually and collectively, will be enlightening and inspiring. And we’re excited to kick off the project during Women's History Month and in 2022, the 50th anniversary of Title IX.

Ellis, a real estate developer and member of the MBHoF board of directors, also played professionally in Finland and Austria. She will share some of her experiences and answer questions during the press conference. Ellis was 10 years old in 1972 when Title IX was enacted.

A questionnaire for current and former players, coaches, officials, reporters, and others connected to the sport is on the Maine Basketball Hall of Fame website.
