Results: 4th Place

I would say the Elim Eagles had a great showing at the Alaska State Basketball Tournament.

First game: they unfortunately lost, but what a game! Elim was behind by 18 points in the fourth quarter, and they came back to tie up the score. The game went into double overtime and Elim lost by only one point.

Napaskiak 74, Elim 73 2OT

"John Maxie had 19 points as Napaskiak squandered a big second half lead but survived to defeat Elim in a double-overtime thriller.

Elim outscored the Hawks 23-6 in the fourth quarter to force overtime, thanks to the hot outside shooting of Matt Takak, who scored a game-high 32 points and was 5 of 15 from beyond the arc.

Napaskiak scored the winning bucket with about 8 seconds left in the second extra session and Elim was unable to get a good shot off after that." -- from the Alaska Daily News


Second game: Elim won.

Third game for 4th place: Elim won, but only by 2 points and again it was an overtime game. The games must have been fun for all the fans. Congratulations and great job to the entire team. You must have a really great coach. ; ) --AnnMarie
