SOUTH THOMASTON, Maine (WMTW) – Olivia Breen, the middle schooler who already has several Division I college basketball scholarship offers, has announced she is leaving her home state of Maine.
Breen, who is from South Thomaston, announced Monday that she is transferring to Montverde Academy in Florida, where the girls basketball team has won three straight national championships.
Maine’s Total Coverage caught up with Breen — who is 6 feet, 2 inches tall at age 13 — shortly after she received her first scholarship offer from Boston College in late June.
Breen has since received offers from Robert Morris University of the Horizon League and Providence College of the Big East.
Her first day of eighth grade at Oceanside Middle School would have been Tuesday.
“New chapter,” Breen wrote in an Instagram post announcing her move to Montverde Academy.
Breen’s older sister, Bailey, is set to start her senior year at Oceanside High School on Wednesday.
Bailey Breen led the Oceanside Mariners to Class B state championships as a freshman and a junior. She has more than two dozen scholarship offers from Division I schools, the most recent coming from Southeast Missouri State.
Montverde Academy is the same school where two other Maine basketball stars, twin brothers Ace and Cooper Flagg, transferred to after their freshman year at Nokomis Regional High School in their hometown of Newport. Cooper Flagg, who reclassified to the Class of 2024, recently signed a shoe endorsement deal with New Balance and has started his freshman year at Duke University. Ace Flagg, meanwhile, has transferred from Montverde to the Greensboro Day School in North Carolina, which is about an hour’s drive from Duke University.
