Each year since 2006, MaxPreps has recognized outstanding performers in high school basketball. America's source for high school sports continues the tradition to close out the 2020-21 season by naming the top player in each state. Selections are based on team success and individual excellence, in addition to local and state accolades.
Camille Clement of
Greely (Cumberland Center) is the 2020-21 MaxPreps Maine High School Girls Basketball Player of the Year. In a shortened season, the 5-foot-9 senior shooting guard led the Rangers to an 11-1 record overall.
The Northeastern University signee posted 22.5 points per game. Clement shot 46 percent from the field, made over 42 percent of her shots from beyond the arc and knocked down 85 percent of her free throw attempts.
For her career, Clement scored 1,416 points in 67 games and averaged 5.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.3 steals per contest. The 2019-20 Bangor Daily News second team All-Maine selection as a junior made 202 3-pointers and 215 free throws in her three-plus seasons of playing for Todd Flaherty.
Clement and the Rangers claimed Maine Class A state championships in 2018 and 2019 before falling 47-44 to Marshwood in the 2020 Class A semifinals. Maine did not hold the state tournament in 2021.
Each state's MaxPreps Player of the Year will be considered for inclusion in the MaxPreps All-America Team.
