Tonight’s game was full of action and plenty of rough, yet friendly competition! Our young Otters (4 Freshman and 3 Sophomores) did their best to fight for control and the lead in the game, without luck. The Alumni were ahead from the start, but our Otters weren’t discouraged and played hard all the way through the 4th quarter. They were all having so much fun, that they continued the game into a 5th quarter, with a final score of Otters-64, Alumni-103.
Tonight’s game brought many spectators and the bleachers were full with cheering fans. What a great Seldovia tradition!
