St. Croix Central High School (CHS), St. Croix Educational Complex (SCEC), and host GHCDS all entered teams in all four divisions. Free Will Baptist School (FWB) fielded a team in the varsity girls division. Pearl B Larsen Middle School (PBL) jumped into the deep end of the pool by entering their boys and girls middle school teams in the Junior Varsity division.
Pearl B. Larsen’s middle school boys team was the delight of the weekend as they showed that they could play with the big boys, defeating both Central High School and Educational Complex School JV teams in pool play. GHCDS got the better of them in their other pool play match, but PBL got the last laugh as they defeated GHCDS in the JV Boys Championship Game. Zayden Turner, of PBL, was the JV Boys MVP and his teammate Elijah Rosario earned the JV Boys Defensive Player Award.
Unlike the boys, there wasn’t a real Cinderella story in the JV Girls Division. GHCDS came into the tournament with an unblemished record and breezed through the preliminary round easily. However, in the championship match, the Lady Barracudas upset the Lady Panthers to claim the JV Girls’ Title. Tysanne Lake of SCEC had a really impactful performance as she took home both the JV Girls Tournament MVP and the Best Defensive Player Award.
