Umaine DT Raibonne Charles

Posted in Jack Cosgrove, Raibonne Charles, UMaine on October 1, 2008 by cmsplog


I interviewed former Windham High School standout and current UMaine Black Bear defensive tackle Raibonne Charles on the Sports Vortex earlier this week (the feature piece I wrote will be in the Windham Independent this week, and I might even post it on here). We talked about red-shirting, the difference between high school and college, and the challenges of being a student-athlete. The interview can be listened to right here, and it makes me glad to know that there are young men out there that still have desire and a strong work ethic. Enjoy!
