Thanks to Brian O’Riley, Ralph Swinton, Sarah Swinton, Gary Stigen, and Ray Chapin for their help with Community Youth Development Basketball. These coaches donate countless volunteer hours to work with the kids in this community. Our high school basketball teams would not be as successful if it were not for such strong junior high and elementary programs. The junior high teams recently attended a tournament in Juneau and I was impressed with their sportsmanship, intensity and skill levels. It is not an easy task to travel anywhere with over 25 junior high students. Every year the junior high coaches willingly attend two tournaments and do a fantastic job: coaching, feeding, driving, chaperoning, and keeping all the kids safe and happy! If you know a child in CYD basketball or if you enjoy the high school basketball season, please thank these coaches! Thank you for your dedication!
