Who else, right? Senior Finn Gregg led the Nanooks to a huge win over Philomath in the Clarke Cochrane Christmas Classic down in Ketchikan. It’s all basketball in this week’s Nanook Sports Minute.
Their opponents from Philomath, Oregon, went 19-8 last season and returned with a strong roster this year. But it was the dominating play of Gregg, who had 26 points in the final, that led the Nanooks to the trophy.
The boys got out to a hot start with a commanding 28-15 lead at the half. The two teams went blow-for-blow in the second half with the score at 55-43 when the clock expired.
Senior Orson Hoogendorn finished with 11 points in the final and his rising star sophomore teammate, Cohen Booth, finished with 8 points.
Gregg and Booth were both named to the all-tournament team.
After falling to Oregon’s Crook County team, the Lady Nanooks bounced back against Eagle River to reach the tournament’s fourth place match. There, they faced reigning 2A state champions Metlakatla and fell 36-28.
A bright spot amongst the Lady Nanooks was freshman KJ West, who put up 22 points in the Eagle River game en route to earning all-tournament honors. Kamylee Walters and Benny Lie also put up big points at the tournament.
This weekend its Nanooks vs Alumni for the annual Nome-Beltz Alumni Tourney. We’ll have coverage from that on next week’s Nanook Sports Minute.
