The two-time defending champions from Alaska and Alabama squared off in the final of the premier prep hoops tournament in the Last Frontier.
BySaturday night’s Alaska Airlines Classic title game between Hoover and Bettye Davis East Anchorage at West Anchorage High pitted the two-time defending champions from Alaska and Alabama’s highest level of competition against each other.
“We play a really good schedule, we wish them nothing but the best for the rest of the season,” Ware said. “I know they’re coming off back-to-back like we are, so we’re kind of in the same boat. We have a lot of respect for them and I think does a really good job with them. I think we kind of overwhelmed them with our size.”
Brown, a star post player who is committed to play at the collegiate level at the University of Tennessee, was honored to be named tournament MVP but believes “at the end of the day, it’s a team collective to win each game.” “We only had one assistant coach who had ever been to Alaska before, so it was something we’ll always remember,” Ware said. “We’ll bump into each other 10 or 15 years from now and this will be something that comes up.”
