Gorham boys’ soccer coach Tim King is stepping down after 20 seasons that produced a 231-75-19 record. Gorham reached the Class A South final the past two years and advanced to the state final in 2016 and 2018.
A science teacher at Gorham High, King said he wanted to be able to watch both his sons play college soccer next fall. Kyle King is a sophomore at Emmanuel College in Boston. Brady King, a Gorham senior and Maine Soccer Coaches’ Association all-New England selection, plans to play in college, probably at Maine Maritime.
“There really aren’t any other reasons,” King said. “I’ve enjoyed every step of the way and there’s certainly going to be a hole there for me next fall. But with both sons in college, I do think it’s a good time because you won’t be able to get those years back.”

A member of Waterville’s 1985 Class A championship team, Hanson went on to play at the University of Maine. After six years as an assistant (four at Waterville, two at Thomas College), Hanson took over a struggling Brunswick program in 1996.
