We are proud of our teams this weekend! The boys took a tough loss Friday night but battled back to beat Shaktoolik the next morning! Despite having a small travel team and not having their coach on the trip, our girls battled through and played with grit. They continue to grow and have great attitudes! Way to go boys and girls! 💙🤍
