I sincerely apologize for the lack of posting. Maybe my New Year's resolution will be to post weekly! Anyway, basketball season is in full swing for Michael. This weekend, Kotzebue is hosting one of two annual tournaments; this one is called the "Husky Shootout." There are a total of 8 teams here for this tournament- 4 girls' teams and 4 boys' teams. All of the teams are from schools in our region: Selawik, Buckland and Noatak. It never ceases to amaze me how many fans are in the stands during these tournaments. Many of the fans from the villages who are playing in the tournament will snow machine in to watch, and this is really one of the few forms of entertainment that Kotzebue has, so this means that there are a ton of people that come to the games. I went to a high school with 1700 students and I don't ever remember there being this many people at a basketball game... and this is how it is every week!

This is Michael and his asst. coach Lance (you can feel free to make any tall/short comments!)
The boys lost on Thursday night to Noatak, and then beat Selawik last night in a close game. They play again tonight against Buckland, and it should be a good one!

That is the way he has always made friends. You look at Doug and TY. You are one of the people in his life that is actually shorter.
