Andon Wood hasn’t played basketball since tearing his ACL in July 2021. Even so, the high school senior has been recruited to play basketball for Thomas College in Waterville, and last week he signed on the dotted line. 

College scouts aren’t the only ones impressed with Andon’s abilities, both on and off the court. Washington Academy basketball coach David Peppin took over the East Machias school’s varsity team this year and said Wood was indispensable, even from the bench.
