H.S. Boys
Tournament
On March 18, the H.S. boys
basketball team was in Chevak for our 1998 Spring
tournament. There were nine teams, and 13 games were
played.
We had only five players on
our team: Jon B., Dave A., Will F.,Richard B., and MauriceT.
The first day no games were played because we were waiting
for the other teams to come in. The first team we played was
the Saint Mary's Eagles. We beat them by two points. The
next day we played the HPB Warriors and lost. Later the same
day, we played the AUK Braves and lost again. That was the
last game we played because we were eliminated. We stayed
until the last game, though, because some of our team wanted
to watch the championship game.
The championship game was
between the Chevak Comets and the Hooper Bay Warriors. Half
of the bleachers were filled with fans from Hooper Bay.
Hooper Bay won the game by one point.
Right after the last game
they had the awards ceremony. 1st place went to Hooper Bay,
2nd place went to the Chevak Comets, and 3rd place went to
the Emmonak Huskies. It was a great tournament!

H.S. Girls
Tournament
Between March 16 and 18, the
Hooper Bay Warriors hosted the 1997-98 H.S. Girls Basketball
Tournament. Altogether there were a total of 10 teams, and
14 games were played. Our team, Charlotte A.,Lorah O.,Cheryl
H.,Tatiana S.,Tassie F.,Rose F. and Nus S., played our first
game against RSM/St. Mary's Eagles (a combined team).
Unfortunately, we lost the game by 25 points. We didn't
expect to play another game the same night, but they
scheduled us to play the Pilot Station (PQS) Kings. This
game was a close one. Although we were playing our hardest,
we lost the game by one point. 64-65. And, since it was a
double elimination we were out of the tournament.
Even though we didn't have
any reason to stay the remaining two days, we did. We
cheered for all the other teams and wished we were the ones
playing. We also did all our assigned chores
Then, night three, game 14
came. It was the championship game between the Hooper Bay
Warriors and the Chevak Comets. There were many fans from
both villages and the game was close. But, someone had to
win. The Hooper Bay Warriors won the game 81-80.
Immediately following the
championship game, the awards ceremony was held. The Hooper
Bay Warriors came in 1st, the Chevak Comets 2nd, and the
RSM/St. Mary's Eagles came in 3rd. The team Academic Award
went to Chevak for having the highest GPA average. The Coach
of the Year award went to Lena Ferguson from Chevak. The
Sportsmanship award went to us, the Marshall Mustangs. At
the moment our team was called up to receive the award, we
were all glad we stayed. Individual all-stars of the
tournament were: Karen Hale (HPB), Helen Greene (PQS),
Miranda Dizon (St. Mary's), Angelique Ulroan (CHVK), Panita
Pingayuk (CHVK), Jenee Westlock (EMO), Audrey Alstrom (AUK),
