OLD TOWN – Old Town High School pitcher-shortstop Jarrett Lukas has been named the 2006-07 Gatorade Maine Baseball Player of the Year.

Lukas is the first player from north of Readfield to receive the state honor since Bangor’s Matt Kinney in 1995.

A senior captain for the Coyotes, Lukas has helped coach David Utterback’s club move out to a 10-4 record with two games left in the Class A regular season.

The 6-foot-2, 185-pound Lukas is batting .500 with four home runs, 15 RBIs, 18 runs scored, an on-base percentage of .659 and a 1.057 slugging percentage. Lukas also has a .968 fielding percentage with just one error so far this season.

On the mound, the righthander is 3-2 with a 1.62 earned run average and 33 strikeouts in 26 innings.

Lukas has maintained a 94.8 average in the classroom. He also serves as a volunteer peer mentor at the local elementary school every other school day, and is a teaching assistant for special-needs students at his high school.

Lukas will attend the University of Maine on a partial baseball scholarship this fall.
