Baseball Season
I can't wait until the baseball season starts! The opening day for baseball will start on April 6. I just want to watch the Dodgers play. I want to watch them play because we have some new players. I don't know if the Dodgers will be as good as they were, because they are without Matt Kemp.

Carpentry Class
My favorite class in school is carpentry. I like carpentry because I like to make stuff. It is really fun because it is cool what you can make by yourself. Right now, I am making a spice shelf. It is pretty easy right now, and it is really fun. I am happy that I can take a carpentry class!
Weather In St. Paul
I live in Alaska, and it is supposed to be cold out around this time of the year. It was cold out for about a week so far this year. All the snow is melting right now. It has been warm outside for the last week. I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering, but is Global Warming actually happening?
All Star Games
The first All Star event I watched was the 3-point contest. There were a bunch of notable players that can shoot the 3-pointer very good. The scores were a lot higher than usual. In the first round, Klay Thompson, Steph Curry, and Kyrie Irving had the highest score. Klay Thompson had the highest score out of everyone.
At the second round, Kyrie Irving went first and scored an average score. The second shooter up was Steph Curry. He was on fire and made 13 3-pointers in a row. He had the highest score so far. Klay Thompson was the last player to shoot. He needed a miracle to make more points than Curry, but he couldn't do it. Steph Curry won the 3-point contest with a superb performance.
The second event I watched was the Dunk Contest. The contestants were Giannis Antetokounmpo, Victor Olidipo, Mason Plumlee, and Zach Lavine. Victor Olidipo and Zach Lavine had the best dunks in the first round, and they were both perfect scores. Victor Olidipo had a 540˚ dunk and Zach Lavine had a dunk where he put the ball in between his legs. In the second round, Olidipo couldn't make his dunk, so it was an automatic win for Lavine. He had some incredible dunks!
The last event I watched was the All Star Game. The All Star Game is when they have the best players in the league play against each other. It is fun watching those games because there are a lot of dunks. It is also a very high scoring game. The West All Stars beat the East All Stars by 3 points.

Basketball Practice
Since the regionals tournament is coming so close, my coach told the team to take advantage of the last practices we have for the season. For the last two weeks, we will be hustling and running our hardest to be as prepared as possible for regionals. It can get pretty tough sometimes, but it is definitely worth it. It is worth it because we have a good chance at making it to the state tournament this year. It would be great to make it to the state tournaments because the Sea Parrots have never made it to the state tournament before.
There are 3 good teams in regionals this year, and we are one of them. The other good teams in our region is the Manokotak Lynx and the King Cove T- Jacks. The two best teams in the region will go to the state tournament in Anchorage. The Manokotak Lynx are a small quick team and the King Cove T-Jacks are tall people who can shoot. The Sea Parrots, the team I play for, are tall who can shoot and get a bunch of rebounds.

Award Ceremony in Dillingham
At the beginning of the award ceremony, after all the sockeye games, Dillingham showed appreciation of St. Paul. They said how good we were and how hard it is to travel for basketball games. They were amazed at how good we were for not playing any games before the Sockeye Tournament. They wanted to thank us for coming to their tournament and invited us to play there next year also.
I am happy that they invited us to go to their tournament again next year, but there isn't going to be a team next year. It is very sad that we won't have a high school team next year. We aren't able to have a team next year because 4 of the 6 players are graduating. Another player is going to school at a different place. There isn't that much people in our high school that likes to play basketball, and the ones that do are too young.
I can't wait until there is enough high school basketball players to have a team. I don't think that will be for a long time though. I love playing for the St. Paul Sea Parrots! I am proud to have played here my whole high school career. It was so fun and I made a lot of fun memories playing here.

St. Paul Round Robin Tournament
We had a tournament on the 5th to 7th of February in St. Paul. We haven't had a tournament in St. Paul since 1981. The teams that came in are the New Stuyahok Eagles, Port Alsworth Lynx, and the New Halen Malamutes. There was a total of 6 games. The team I play for, the Sea Parrots, played all three of the teams.
Our first game was against the New Halen Malamutes. They were a pretty tough team, they had a couple good shooters and a good post-up player. We were down by 9 at the end of the first half. Coach talked with us and made us bust our butts on the court. At the end of the game, we beat the Malamutes by ten points.
The next day, we played against the New Stuyahok Eagles. The whole team was able to shoot the three pointer. We were down by 6 at the end of the first half. We ended up beating the Eagles by around 10. It was a tough team to play against, but we had the heart to win.
Our last game was against the Port Alsworth Lynx. They had some good shooters, but they weren't the best team in the tournament. We were ahead by about 30 points at the end of halftime. We ended up beating the Lynx by about 40 points at the end of the game. It was a pretty easy game.
At the end of the game, we had an award ceremony. The Port Alworth Lynx got 4th place and the sportsmanship award. The New Halen Malamutes has gotten the 3rd place trophy. New Stuyahok received the 2nd place trophy. The Sea Parrots received the 1st place trophy and we are displaying the trophy in the front of our school. I am happy to of been a part of this tournament.
