Region V brackets set for B-Ball tourney

Wrangell High School’s boys and girls basketball teams are in Ketchikan today, preparing to square off with their division rivals in this year’s Region V tournament.

At 4:45 p.m., the Wolves face the Metlakatla Glacier Bears for game one of the 2A Boys bracket. The winner will play against either Craig or Haines tomorrow evening at 8:15 p.m. The losing teams will then have the option to play for runner-up in a second bracket.

Last year the Wolves had been knocked out of the tournament after a pair of successive losses. This year, Wrangell’s team has won and lost games with each of the other three teams in its division during the season, and play this weekend could go either way.

Also seeded third in their division, the Lady Wolves will play against Craig this afternoon at 3 p.m. The winner of that will then play against either Metlakatla or Haines in tomorrow’s 6:30 p.m. game. As in the boys’ tournament, losing teams will get to play each other for runner-up.
