Cordova Basketball Tournament Starts Tonight!
by Jenny Chissus
Our students from SBE are traveling today – aboard the M/V Aurora from Whittier to Cordova for the 32nd Annual Cordova Tip Off Tourney! Along with the Seldovia Sea Otters, Unalaska and Nikiski will also be competing at the tournament this year. This will be a fun 7 hour trip as they get “rested up” for their first games this evening, starting at 7:30pm when our Seldovia Sea Otter girls play Cordova’ Wolverines. The boys will play right after – around 9:00pm, also against Cordova.
Thanks to Cordova, we will all be able to watch all the action LIVE at asln.net, ctcak.net or on your roku’s. Visit asln.net/roku to add the channel.
We were all able to enjoy the last games from home, as Mark Janes and the team worked to broadcast the two games from Anchorage – but Cordova will actually have an announcer for the games – so it is going to be official!!
So, take a moment today – to get your technology all figured out so that you can enjoy the games this evening – LIVE from Cordova!!!
GOOD LUCK SELDOVIA SEA OTTERS!

This year, the District 1 (Kenai-Nikiski-parts of Soldotna) seat held by Kenai resident Kelly Bookey will be on the ballot. In District 2 (Soldotna-Sterling-Kasilof area) the seat currently held by Sterling resident Dick Waisanen will be up for election. In District 3 (Kasilof-Homer-Seldovia area), HEA members will vote for the seat currently held by Don Seelinger of Seldovia.
HEA directors are elected by district, with members voting only for the director in their respective district.
