Perette One of Seven GNAC Man of The Year Finalists

PAXTON, MA: Anna Maria Men's Basketball graduate Bobby Perette (Marshfield, MA) was one of seven men to be named a finalist for the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) first Man of The Year Award.  

Perette, a four-year men's basketball standout for the AMCATS, graduated with a 3.30 GPA as a Sport Management major and History minor. A native of Marshfield, Mass., Perette was also an AMCATS Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) leader, read to youngsters at local elementary schools, and was an orientation leader.

On the hardwood, Perette averaged 12.2 points and 2.1 rebounds over his 95-game career (69 starts). But he flourished his junior and senior campaigns, averaging 15.1 and 18.7 points per game, respectively while shooting 43% from three-point range. He leaves Anna Maria as the program's all-time leader in threes made and goes down as a member of the AMCATS 1,000-point club.

Perette's personal statement: "Coming into Anna Maria, I had the misfortune of tearing my ACL. At that point, I looked to my coach and told him I still had goals to accomplish upon my recovery. I told him I would score 1,000 points and become the program's all-time three-point leader, and I did. This college experience has taught me that hard work and dedication can bring you so many things in life. I also learned true leadership and patients from Coach [Shawn] Conrad, seeing him work hard and wanting the best out of all of us. He pushed us to be better people. I will always be a better person because I spent time both playing in the GNAC and at Anna Maria College."
