The Basketball trip

The St. Paul basketball team and I came to Dillingham yesterday for a basketball tournament. We took a one and a half hour plane ride over here. When we got to the school here in Dillingham the first thing we did was eat dinner. After we were done with our dinner we took all of our bags and suitcases up to our rooms. When we got all of our bags in the rooms we went to one of the gyms and watched the free throw and 3 point contests.

The contests went on for about one hour. The contests were for both boys and girls but boy were on one side of the court while the girls were on the other side. Shawn, Dallas, and Andronika were all in the contests. Shawn and Dallas entered the three-point contest. And Shawn and Andronika entered the free throw contest.

We played our first game against the Togiak Huskies on Thursday. I made six points and got a few rebounds. We beat the Togiak Huskies by eleven points. Robert received the player of the game award. The announcers gave Robert a certificate and a five-dollar coupon for a restaurant.

On Friday we watched most of the games that were going on all day. We watched all of the boy’s games that went on. Then we played our game against the Dillingham Wolverines varsity team. I did not make any points but I got a lot of rebounds.  We lost by eleven points but everyone said that they were impressed that we were able to keep it at such a close score.

Today we are going to watch the other boy’s basketball games. But at noon the school is going to start the award ceremony. They are going to do the award ceremony even though there are still going to be games going on until eight o’clock tonight. We are going to play against Bristol Bay at five o’clock today for the third place trophy. And Dillingham is going against Manokotak for the first place trophy.
