Catching up with Aaron Calixte, former Stoughton High boys' basketball captain who transferred to Lee Academy, a prep school in Maine, with the hopes of getting a scholarship from a major Division 1 college basketball school.
Whether it be for his huge performances in critical games - like scoring 38 points in a quadruple overtime game against rival Oliver Ames; or scoring 32 points at home against Canton bringing him over the 1,000 point mark, becoming the first player in school history to reach the milestone as a junior; or his heroics throughout the 2012 MIAA state tournament bringing his team to the TD Garden - or his warm-hearted personality and infectious smile, former Stoughton High boys' bsketball star Aaron Calixte will not soon be forgotten by his classmates, teachers and SHS community as a whole.

Barring a last-minute change of mind, it turns out that was Calixte's last home game at Stoughton High. Calixte, set to start his senior year at SHS in September, will instead attend Lee Academy in Maine in 2012-2013, Stoughton High boys' basketball head coach John Gallivan told Stoughton Patch.
