Providence Walk-On Andrew Fonts, Recruit Cole Swider Playing in All-Star Game in Portsmouth

It’s apparently All-Star game season in Rhode Island. Friar fans had the unique opportunity to witness three of Providence’s top local recruiting targets play on the same team last Saturday in the All About the Buckets” All-Star game in Warwick benefiting Camp ERROL. On Wednesday night one of those targets, Cole Swider, will be playing in the 2nd Annual Rhode Island Higher Learning Sports Spring Classic at Portsmouth High School. A portion of the events proceeds will benefit the James L. Maher Center in Middletown, RI. For more on the work that is done at the Maher Center, click here.

Providence fans certainly are rooting for Swider to end up in a Providence uniform but one player they can see on Wednesday night that will be part of next season’s Providence team is incoming walk-on Andrew Fonts. Fonts announced in December that he will be a preferred walk-on at Providence next year. He finished off his high school career at Portsmouth Abbey with 1,413 points and was named a NEPSAC Class B Second Team performer. In his final high school game, the 6’0 guard scored 36 points.

Portsmouth High School is located at 120 Education Lane, Portsmouth, RI 02871. The game tips at 7:00pm. Tickets are $7 for adults, $4 for student/children and admission is free for those under 5 years of age.
