After winning against a limited field last year, the Malemutes set their sites on the 2022 tournament at Alaska Airlines Center.
When the Newhalen girls basketball team won the 2021 Alaska State 1A tournament, the Malemutes considered it an overwhelming success. But it wasn’t exactly what were shooting for.
Before flying back to their Western Alaska village nestled near Lake Iliamna, the team took a slight detour on the way to the airport. The Malemutes did it again on Saturday, taking a narrow 43-42 win over Klawock in the State 1A Girls Basketball Tournament. The game was tied 21-21 at half, but the Malemutes went on a blistering 13-0 run over the first half of the third quarter, taking command of the game.Barthelman attributed the streak to a defensive change that sparked a series and steals and quick layups.But the Chieftains continued to close the gap as the game went on, eventually tying it 41-41.
