ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The Shishmaref girl’s and boy’s teams are in Anchorage for the Alaska state basketball championships that are being played at the Alaska Airlines Center.
“They were really upset,” said Shishmaref Assistant Principal Steve Bellande, who accompanied the teams. “They were worried about their stuff, and how can we find it, and what are we going to do for shoes?Shishmaref is a tight community and many of its residents are in Anchorage for the tournament, cheering on the boy’s and girl’s teams.Nichole Turner is a parent of one of the players and also the girl’s team chaperone.
The girls went shoe shopping Thursday afternoon using donated money, but there was still the question of the missing jerseys. That’s when Billy Strickland, director of The Alaska School Activities Association, had an idea. “Sure enough, we had a full box of jerseys for them to be able to use, so we were happy to be able to help,” Bell said.
