Seldovia Sea Otters – Tournament Champions!
by Jenny Chissus
After three days of competition – the Seldovia Sea Otters boys basketball team pulled off an amazing victory against their great opponent Nikolaevsk, with a final score of 51 Seldovia, 47 Nikolaevsk.
I had the chance to catch up with Coach Mark Janes around 12:18am on Saturday morning – and no, the players hadn’t hit the hay quite yet! Friday night, a BIG win, everyone was pretty amped! Mark took a minute to talk with me from the Kenai Peninsula College campus where our Otters are being hosted during the regional tournament. The teams are loving being able to stay on the campus, getting a little taste of college life, touring the campus, hanging out a bit with college students and enjoying the comforts of apartment living. Boys are all on one floor “down below” and the girls are on an upper floor, but they do tend to all get together in the lounge areas to play video games, eat and visit on their off time. Thanks KPC for offering such a great place to stay at a special rate for our teams!
Looking back at the most recent home games, the coach mentioned that the guys really didn’t play to their full potential. In preparation for this tournament they realized that they had to “Play hard from A to Z, they had to do more than show Continue Reading

I want to give a big shout out to Chance Haller, a junior on the Seldovia Boys team who was gracious enough to announce the girl’s game as it played out! It is so great for us here at home to get the play-by-play (and the enthusiasm)! So Thanks Chance! Coach Tiffany Haller has done the announcing for the boys games, and so that skill, energy and enthusiasm must run in the family!!

Coach Mark Janes’ Basketball Season Update

Season Update
The Sea Otter Boys High School Basketball Team is entering the homestretch of the regular season with only 5 games remaining out of our 20 game season. These games are going to be the most important and will determine the seeding at our regional tournament. We have an overall record of 9 wins and 6 losses and within our region we are 6 and 0, placing us behind a Nikolaevsk team that we play twice in the next 2 weeks.
All of our loses come from games with bigger schools. When putting together our schedule last year, I scheduled some tough competition against 3A varsity and 4A JV squads early in the season. I wanted to get the Otters exposure to the next level of basketball competition and have them strive to match it. They have been great Continue Reading
