In the oral history of Native Alaskans, the thunderbird is a creature that is revered, respected, sometimes feared, and responsible for stirring the winds with storms and thunder when it flies.

A defensive battle was the name of the game this week as the Wrangell Wolves faced off against the Haines Glacier Bears in a two-day away game series that saw Wrangell walk away with a pair of wins for their effort.

In 1908, the poet Grantland Rice wrote a truism that exists in all interscholastic, non-professional sports. In his poem “Alumnus Football” he wrote, “For when the One Great Scorer comes to write against your name, He marks – not that you won or lost – but how you played the Game.” Through the years and after millions upon millions of high school basketball, volleyball and other sporting events, that stanza most likely became, “It's not whether you win or lose. It's how you play the game.” Th...

The Lady Wolves basketball team proved a point last weekend as they showed a truism on the court; sometimes a wolf can outfox a bear.
