The Dillingham City School District High School hosted the Tip-Off Classic basketball tournament last week. Five schools competed in the tournament, the Dillingham Wolverines, the Su-Valley Rams, the Manokotak Lynxes, the Bristol Bay Angels, and the New Stuyahok eagles.
The teams took part in three days of basketball, extending Thursday through Saturday.
For the Girls Bracket, the Su-Valley Rams won the championship, and the Bristol Bay Angels were runner up. Closing out the tournament Saturday evening, the Manokotak Lynx took home the Boys Championship, and the Dillingham Wolverines were runner up.
A Sportsmanship award for the teams who demonstrated the best sportsmanship throughout the tournament was awarded at the close of the weekend. For the girls, that award went to the Su-Valley Rams. The boy’s sportsmanship award went to the Dillingham JV Wolverines.
Next weekend, teams from all over the region will head to Naknek for the High School Sockeye Classic hosted by the Bristol Bay School district. Meanwhile, middle school athletes will head to Newhalen.
Athletes from each team were selected by their coaches for the All-tournament title, an award for the standout players of the tournament.
