Three Man Basketball

For the beginning of our week of basketball we played Port Alsworth Monday, Igiugig Tuesday and Kokhanok Wednesday.  All those games were three man, co-ed.
Three man is what most the kids in the area play because most of the villages are so small there's not enough kids to play five man, much less a girls and boys team.  Since we can't play with the team in Nondalton because we're home schooled we have our own three man team, the Grizzlies.  It's just our family and Josh A.  The Grizzlies went undefeated this year!

We played four games in Port A.

The next day we went to Igiugig to play.  Igiugig has a good team and was undefeated before we played them.  It was a great game and we only won by one point.  Although the joy in that fact is diminished a bit when you think of the fact that they had one boy who made almost all of their points.  He must of had close to fifty by the end of the game. 


Anna didn't get to this time because there wasn't room in the plane.  Joshua was more interested in the game then taking pictures so this is all we have.


On Wednesday we went to Kokhanok.  We play two games and they were a lot of fun.  Joshua and Anna both got to play a lot there.  They both play really good for Jr. High.  When Joshua gets in high school he's going to be a force to be reckoned with. =)








It was an awesome three days.  Too bad that was pretty much the beginning and end of Deborah's and my season.  Everyone else has been playing quite a few Jr. High games vs. Newhalen.  They played Pee Wee and Jr. High games yesterday to kick off the Newhalen carnival then today we're having our last high school game of the year vs. the Newhalen JV Boys. That should either be a really fun game or we'll get creamed. =)
