Su Valley Girls win Crowley Classic

Su Valley has claimed another championship when the Girls Varsity team won the Crowley Classic Basketball Tournament this weekend. The Lady Rams closed out the season with a win over Tok, making them the champions for a second year in a row.

Coach Jimmy Sickler says the team’s defensive game was able to stop Tok’s offense, which included the likes of last year’s Conference Player-of-the-Year, Desiree Demitt.

Meanwhile, the SU valley Varsity  Boys fell to last year’s state One-A champion team from Aniak by 4 points in the second round of play on Friday night. The Aniak Half-Breeds edged out a win over the Su Valley Rams by a score of 66 to 62 during a nail-biting game on Friday night.

Su Valley Coach Mike Mathews was gracious in defeat, saying that his team was able use a tight, controlled style of play to rally a late-game surge against the fast-and-loose team from Aniak.

Aniak then went on to win the Championship game over Lumen Christi on Saturday, and Su Valley won the consolation game against Nenana.
