Wrangell basketballers awarded for season play

Following the team's third-place finish at the Region V Tournament in Juneau on March 11, one player on Wrangell High School's Wolves basketball program has been nominated for post-season honors. Senior student Trent Stokes was named to the second squad of the All-State Team, following the state-level tournament in Anchorage from March 15-18. Players chosen for that distinction are selected by members of the Alaska Association of Basketball Coaches. While the Wolves had not made it to state-level play this year, the selection was based on the player's performance throughout the season. Stokes was selected for next month's Senior All-Star Game as well, also to be held in Anchorage. Players chosen to participate in that tournament are nominated by their coaches. At Region V, he had been selected for the All-Conference Team by a committee assigned by the Alaska School Activities Association, which regulates intramural competitions between schools around the state. Along with classmate Sam Prysunka, Stokes was also selected for the Sportsmanship Award at the end of Region V.
