Immovable 6'6" Forward with Elite Inside-Out Scoring for Maine Black Bears
John Shea, the 2022 Mr. Maine Basketball and a 6-foot-6 forward, is a data-driven differentiator for the Maine Black Bears, known for being absolutely immovable in the paint and a bully over his left shoulder[7]. In his high school senior year (2021-22), he averaged 27 points and 12 rebounds per game, leading Edward Little to the state title[3], and later posted 30 points and 9 rebounds as State Class AA Player of the Year[4]. Now entering his third year with the Black Bears in 2025-26, Shea brings an inside-out game with elite intensity, entrepreneurial drive, and a reputation as a 'bully' who dominates physically[2][5]. His injury history is clean, and his personality traits include fierce competitiveness and leadership. He is a perfect fit for teams needing a high-intensity, high-rebounding forward who can score inside and out, making him a top-tier asset for any roster seeking a physical, reliable presence in the paint[7].
