THEO BOWE

Boys’ basketball

Bowe, of Cape Elizabeth, had arguably the best single-game performance of the 2011 state tournament. He scored 36 points to fuel the Capers’ near-upset against Camden Hills in the Class B state final.

Bowe averaged 25.2 points for the season and was selected as MVP of the Western Class B tournament. He missed two games during the season, and suffice it to say, the Capers weren’t the same team.
