The girls began four days straight of home games on Thursday, Jan 29. The boys’ and girls’ varsity teams will play against Haines for two days, then the varsity and JV girls play against Craig for two days.
Pawuk said that the girls are excited to play so much back-to-back basketball.
“I told the girls, it’s a great trial run for [the Region V] tournament, because to go to state, you’ve got to win three games in three days,” Pawuk said.
On Friday, Jan. 30, the varsity boys play against Haines at 5 p.m., and the varsity girls play at 6:30 p.m.
On Saturday, Jan. 31, the JV girls play against Craig at 5 p.m., and the varsity girls play at 6:30 p.m.
