Grey defeated Team Red 25-14 in the title game.
“We had fun, we just had fun. Our team chemistry was outstanding,” said Grey’s Keagan Whiting (Lewiston), who was named the tournament MVP.
Grey finished 1-2 and earned the third seed in its pool, but then knocked out second-seeded Purple and top-seeded Green to set up a title-game showdown with Team Red, the top team in Pool B which was led by Lisbon coach Chris Kates.
“Our guys’ team chemistry was pretty cool,” Grey coach Devin Roberts of Mountain Valley said. “In between the round robin and the tournament we actually sat together and went around in a circle and said, ‘Where are you from? Tell us something about your past,’ and as soon as we started playing in that tournament something clicked with all of them and they were a group, they were together, they played smart, knew what we were thinking and they took it and ran with it.”

Kearing’s self-assurance earned him victories in giant slalom and slalom with winning times of 1:33.70 and 1:24.34, respectively, and the honor of being named the Sun Journal’s Boys Alpine Skier of the Year.
“Awesome,” the Mt. Blue senior said. “I was just happy I could put two runs together. I was happy to have a season. I was happy to have a conference championship.
“I don’t want to sound cocky, but I knew we have been training all year. I knew we had a strong team and I knew I got some solid coaching. I was confident I was going to have a good day. I wasn’t sure it was going to be that good, but I was very happy how it turned out.”
