After travel delays, the Unalaska Boys and Girls basketball teams made it to Bethel yesterday to compete in the Donlin Gold Classic tournament.
The boys team put up a tough fight against the Bethel Warriors last night, ultimately losing the match 39 to 43. However, the Raiders did rally during the fourth quarter, shrinking Bethel’s 16-point lead to just four points in the final minutes of the game. JJ Fernandez was the Raiders’ top scorer, with 13 points.
The Lady Raiders also lost against Bethel yesterday evening. The final score was 46 to 30. The team struggled to maintain control of the ball, and there was a total of 31 turnovers during the match. Cassandra Morrisett led the team with 10 points.
Both the boys and girls teams will face off against Nome this afternoon.
