During Mike’s time with the Hilltoppers, Durfee lost just eight times in 104 games with him leading the way to consecutive state titles in 1988 and 1989. As a sophomore, Herren set the single-season mark for points scored (533), breaking Ernie Fleming’s mark of 475 set during the 1966-67 season. In that same season, he also led the team in scoring (22.2 ppg.), rebounds (212), assists (130) and steals (62). Herren also scored a school-record 51 points in three quarters in a 107-64 win at Somerset, eclipsing the school total of 50 set by Fleming and Manny Papoula. He graduated as the Hilltoppers’ highest scorer in school history with 1,967 points and sat out three games his senior season, missing out on the chance to become the school’s first 2,000-point scorer. Herren was named Gatorade New England and Massachusetts Player of the Year in 1988 and 1989 and earned a scholarship to play at Boston College.
