Closing Ceremony

One of the things that makes the Nenana Invitational Tournament so special is their Closing Ceremony. The host school invites all of the athletes out onto the floor to be celebrated. The All-Tournament Teams are lined up in front of all who played. The Top Three teams in each bracket are brought to center court to be congratulated and photographed. The games are exciting, but this ceremony tops them all.

The Tournament M.V.P. is a man named Dean Overby, which, if you think about it, is a perfect name for a career in Education. Dean Overby has coordinated twenty or more Nenana Invitational Tournaments. He’s been at it long enough to see the participation of the daughters and sons of fathers and mothers who have played in the Tournament. Thank you Dean for another great tournament.

The Girls’ Championship Game features the Seldovia Sea Otters against the Huslia Huslers. The Sea Otters gained access to the ship with wins over Effie Kokrine and Fort Yukon. The Huslers stamped their ticket with wins over Tri-Valley and Susitna Valley.
