Seldovia Sea Otters – Tournament Champions!
by Jenny Chissus
After three days of competition – the Seldovia Sea Otters boys basketball team pulled off an amazing victory against their great opponent Nikolaevsk, with a final score of 51 Seldovia, 47 Nikolaevsk.
I had the chance to catch up with Coach Mark Janes around 12:18am on Saturday morning – and no, the players hadn’t hit the hay quite yet! Friday night, a BIG win, everyone was pretty amped! Mark took a minute to talk with me from the Kenai Peninsula College campus where our Otters are being hosted during the regional tournament. The teams are loving being able to stay on the campus, getting a little taste of college life, touring the campus, hanging out a bit with college students and enjoying the comforts of apartment living. Boys are all on one floor “down below” and the girls are on an upper floor, but they do tend to all get together in the lounge areas to play video games, eat and visit on their off time.

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!
