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.
