Nome wins trip to State

Nome beats rival Kotzebue and wins at least a #2 berth to State out of the Far North Conference.

Barrow beat Nome this morning at the 11:00 game in three straight games, even though the Nanooks were hustling and playing so hard.

That means that Nome had to face Kotzebue again in this double elimination tournament. Nome won the first game, lost the second in a close score, and then won the next two to win themselves a berth to the State Tournament.

Nome faces Barrow again at 5:00 pm. Even if Nome wins this match, they will have to play another tiebreaker match at 7:00 pm since this is a double elimination tournament.

The State Tournament is at Dimond High School in Anchorage on December 8, 9, and 10. I don't know when we'll fly out yet. It will be nice, though, to get some Christmas shopping done in Anchorage! They have a Wal-Mart, you know!
