Former Husky Standouts Allison Gagnon Gray ’95 and Kevin Jenkins ’80 Set to Be Inducted in Maine Basketball Hall of Fame

GORHAM, Maine –  Two former University of Southern Maine basketball standouts Allison Gagnon Gray '95 and Kevin Jenkins '80 are set to be inducted into the Maine Basketball Hall of Fame on Saturday, August 11 as part of the Class of 2024. 
 
Both Huskies will be inducted alongside of 10 other individuals, five "Legends of the Game," and the 1993 Calais High School Girls' team at the 2024 induction ceremony at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor.  Tickets are available at mainebasketballhalloffame.com.
 
Considered one of the finest point guards to ever play for the University of Southern Maine, Gagnon Gray wore a Husky uniform for three seasons from 1990-1993 and led USM to an overall record of 74-15 with three Little East Conference regular season titles, two LEC tournament championships, and three Division III Elite Eight appearances. 
 
Over the course of her three seasons, Gagnon Gray scored 1,021 points and to this day owns every assist record in program history.  She totaled 660 career assists, and set the school's single-season record with 232 during the 1990-91 season.  With her 15 assists in 75-46 victory over Rowan on March 12, 1993, during the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA tournament, Gagnon Gray established a seemingly unbreakable single-game record for Huskies' women's basketball. Her 221 assists as a senior and her 207 dimes as a sophomore round out the top three single-season total. She concluded her career as the program record holder for made free throws (330) and single season made free throws (116, 1991-1992).
 
The first player in Little East Conference history to earn back-to-back Player of the Year honors (1992, 1993), Gagnon Gray was twice named a WBCA Honorable Mention All-American. She was inducted into the Husky Hall of Fame in 1995, then into the Little East Conference Hall of Fame in 2020.
 
A standout three-sport student-athlete as a high school student at Georges Valley in the early 70s, Jenkins played collegiately for the University of Southern Maine (then University of Portland-Gorham) and was a key member of the Huskies' 1978 and 1979 squads that advanced to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) National Championship Tournaments. 
 
Finishing his standout intercollegiate career scoring over 1,100 points, Jenkins continued to contribute to the Maine basketball scene serving as the Gorham High School Boy's coach for nearly 25 seasons until his retirement in February 2024.  With Jenkins at the helm, the Rams never missed the playoffs and won eight regional titles and two Maine State Championships (1996 and 2000).
