Nanooks win again!

Today the Nome Nanook Volleyball team remain undefeated as they beat the Kotzebue Huskies in an exciting five game match.

The starting six won the first game. A valiant effort in the second game by the second line fell just short. The third game was a heartbreaker, 26-24 loss. Nome came back to win the next two games including the pivotal fifth game that is only played to 15 points.

The Nome Nanooks hold steady at 2-0 on the season. This is already better than their 0-10 record last season. The girls are working well together.

I helped to get the visiting team back to their chartered flight on Bering Air. Last night, they actually camped out, with their aerobeds and sleeping bags, in my big, cavernous classroom. It was odd to see it completely covered with luggage and items. I had to ferry them in the blue van to the Rec Center downtown in three trips. The home team fed them Airport Pizza last night and got them snacks for the plane today, and they also got a Subway run before they left.

Next week, the Nanooks travel to Bethel for a non-conference match. We are taking the nineteen-seater plane so with two coaches that leaves me ten varsity (out of 12) to take and seven JV.
