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.
