Regionals

We left St. Paul last Wednesday to go to Newhalen for a Regional Basketball tournament. There were six different teams here at the tournament. The teams that went were St. Paul, Newhalen, New Stuyahok, Port Alsworth, King Cove and Manokotak. The games started on Wednesday the 4th and ended on Saturday the 7th. There were at least two games every day except for Saturday where they only had one game.

We played our first game against the Newhalen basketball team. The score was very close through out the whole game. We were down by a couple points near the end of the fourth quarter but we were able to time the game and the game was put into overtime. They put four minutes on the clock for over time. We kept it close through the beginning of the over time but we ended up losing at the end.

The next game we played was against Port Alsworth. We played this game the same day as we played against Newhalen. Every one on our team was playing a little sloppy. We were all tired because we played a game already that day. We led throughout the whole game but we were playing really sloppy in the first half and our coach was mad at us. We played a lot better in the second half and came out with the win.

The next day we played our final game against New Stuyahok. Every one was still tired when we started playing this game. We were a head by about 14 points at the end of the first half. But we started playing really sloppy when the second half started. We ended up losing to them by about eight points.
