Yet, to hear 2022 victors John Shea of Auburn's Edward Little High School and Jaycie Christopher of Skowhegan Area High School tell it, the honors are as much an impression of collaboration as individual play.

Christopher and Shea each set up large numbers all through their four-year varsity professions, with Christopher driving Skowhegan Area High School to its top of the line A state title this colder time of year while EL progressed to the 2022 Class AA North title game in the wake of winning states in 2020 during Shea's first year as a starter.

As they were named the 35th beneficiaries of the Miss and Mr. Basketball grants throughout a break in Saturday's Maine McDonald's All-Star Basketball Games at Husson University in Bangor, both rushed to acknowledge everyone around them as significant to their singular development on the court, which drove each to group achievement.

Christopher's most compelling colleague was her dad Jon, a previous champion competitor in Madison who currently fills in as the athletic director at Skowhegan.

"Whenever I was in 7th grade I began working out in the first part of the prior day school," Christopher said. "That is actually the time that I think showed me what it took to be incredible. Those 5:30 or 6 o'clock exercises, lifting, having chances up toward the beginning of the day, runs, that is the place where it's done as such once you get into the season you're simply all set.

"It's been a great deal of extended periods, a ton of shots up, and my father is certainly the main rebounder in our school's set of experiences. It's cool."

Shea recognized the impact of two central participants in ongoing Edward Little young men b-ball history, 2007 Mr. Basketball Troy Barnies and 2019 finalist Wol Maiwen, whom the 6-foot-6 focus fought during rehearses as a green bean with mentor Mike Adams' Red Eddies.

"I've had this fantasy since the time I was a small child, growing up and watching individuals like Troy and Wol," Shea said. "Wol was a finalist however didn't win it, yet to have the option to join Troy as the second individual in program history to do this is unique.

Story proceeds

"My first year I went at Wol as hard as possible to improve myself since he's perhaps the best competitor I've at any point played against. Conflicting with him each and every day most certainly made me a superior player."

Shea was named Class AA North Player of the Year in the wake of averaging 27 focuses and 11 bounce back per game while driving Edward Little of Auburn to a 18-3 record, the No. 1 seed in the locale and a billet in the current year's provincial title game, where the Red Eddies tumbled to Oxford Hills of South Paris 48-47 in additional time.

"Whenever I was a sophomore I admired every one of the seniors in that group and took everything in I could," said Shea, who found the middle value of 18 focuses per game in that 2020 EL group. "They entrusted me with the ball my sophomore year and that implied a great deal to me."

Christopher found the middle value of 23.5 places, 9.1 bounce back, 4.9 helps and 3.5 takes per challenge during the 2021-22 ordinary season and scored 24 focuses and snatched nine bounce back as mentor Mike LeBlanc's River Hawks crushed Greely of Cumberland Center 60-46 the Class A state last to complete their season with a 22-0 record.

Be that as it may, the Boston University-bound gatekeeper's greatest commitment might have been her ability to forfeit considerably greater individual insights to ultimately benefit the group.

"It was never something I at any point contemplated," she said. "The one thing that made a difference to me was winning a gold ball, thus anything it took to do that was what the future held do.

"Whatever else that went along the way is incredible, yet it's actually a demonstration of our group."
