All Native tourney crowns Similkameen as Women’s champion
Both the teams vying for the Masters Division title at the 2023 All Native Basketball Tournament wanted it badly, but in the end Gitmidiik edged out Hydaburg AK 66 – 59.
It was a chippy game, with Hydaburg seeking redemption for their 2020 loss in the final to the same team ending a five-year dynasty for the Alaskans. Early in the third quarter, Gitmidiik opened the lead up a bit again, but Hydaburg gnawed away at the lead bringing it down to a single point heading into the last 10 minutes.
“This is a great feeling for the guys, they worked really hard, they all stayed on the same page, they really wanted this,” said Gitmidiik Coach Anthony Robinson.
