SITKA, ALASKA (2010-03-06) The Sitka High girls have won their first 3A basketball title in Region V.
The Lady Wolves edged past Haines on Friday night, 37-31, in the championship game.
But, in the very next game, Haines won the 3A boys’ title, in a one-point, overtime contest against Mt. Edgecumbe that will likely be remembered as one of the best efforts of the Braves’ basketball program.

SITKA, ALASKA (2010-03-05) Sitka High School and Mt. Edgecumbe High School have a decades-old cross-town rivalry. And it was visible to some extent at this week's Region V high school basketball tournament. But students and staff say the rivalry -- which has had its share of tension -- is becoming more and more positive.

SITKA, ALASKA (2010-03-04) The Sitka School Board met at the Alaska Native Brotherhood Hall on Tuesday night – something it does once a year. This year, as in years past, much of the discussion centered on what more the district can do to offer Tlingit language and cultural education.

SITKA, ALASKA (2010-03-02) A legislative subcommittee has determined state Sen. Albert Kookesh, D-Angoon, violated state ethics law in connection to remarks he made to the Craig City Council. But a second complaint, that Kookesh made similar remarks to the Sitka Assembly two years ago, did not hold water with the subcommittee. Ed Ronco reports.

 

Kookesh's remarks to the City of Craig were deemed by the subcommittee to be likely ethics violations. For more on that story, click here.
