Pili🔥
So great to see two awesome women from Alaska play against eachother in D1 ball. Thanks for posting.
Of course!! I met Chuck White in 2010 & he turned me into an admirer of Alaskan hoops.
Coach White won 18 state titles (14 at Anchorage East, 4 at Anchorage West) and turned Trajan Langdon into a household name.
It’s special to see Alaskan women take center stage & usher in a new generation of talent!!
