In much of rural Alaska, basketball is central to communities. In Akiak, fifth and sixth graders Yolanda Ramos, Amos Foss, and Brian Hunter reported this story about a basketball tournament that touches on why the sport is so important in the village. Men’s and women’s adult teams played a tournament last weekend in the Akiak school gym. They were from Akiak, Akiachak, and Tuluksak. Lots of people from all three villages showed up to cheer for the teams.
