After some exciting alumni games, both the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams left town for Rally the Regions, a round robin style tournament for 2A teams across Alaska. The tournament is a good opportunity for everybody to size up the competition, according to Lady Wolves Coach Laurie Brown. It is also good exposure for their team and lets them get a feel for which teams have good odds of making it to State.
Brown said she is very confident in her team this season. The Lady Wolves have a lot of returning players as only one senior player graduated out last season. The team is in better shape and also has some exciting new additions, she said.
“We took second, last year, in our region and went to State. We were able to place fourth up there, at State, and so we’re looking to do even more this year,” she said.
Cody Angerman, coach of the boy’s basketball team, also feels that his team is looking good for this new season. He said that his team exceeded a lot of people’s expectations last year. This season, he is hoping that the team can build itself up to the best it can be by the end of the year.
“I do know that we had some tough games where we didn’t show up to play very well, but I know a lot of games where we were happy about a lot of things that happened,” he said.
Rally the Regions opened on Wed., Jan. 2, at Dimond High School in Anchorage. Both teams are scheduled to play against Tok, Selawik, and Cordova.
