📣 Schedule Update – Basketball Games Next Weekend 🏀
Due to last-minute team cancellations, the Lockwood Tournament scheduled for next weekend has been postponed until further notice. With only one team remaining, a tournament format is not possible at this time.
Instead, we have adjusted the schedule to host home-and-away conference games with Alakanuk. This change allows our athletes to continue competing while making the best use of the available schedule.
We appreciate the community’s understanding and flexibility with this last-minute change, which was beyond our control. More game details will be shared as they are finalized.
