/ A8 Terrace Review — Wednesday, February 21, 1990 Alaskans clean up The Haida Gwaii seniors from Alaska came to Prince Rupert expecting to return home with the all-native basketball championship for the fourth year in a row. | But it took another Alaskan entry — Metlakatla — to turn off the winning streak and bring the goodies back to the Mets’ home town in this 31st annual men’s event. Metlakatla also pulled off a rarity by having their younger intermediates win their division as well, . Metlakatla’s seniors did it the hard way. They came back through the loser’s side of the double-knockout series to knock off previously unbeaten Haida Gwaii. Here’s how it went. Metlakatla started off with a. 108-87 win over Kincolith on ‘A’ side after getting an opening round bye. Then they met Haida Gwaii in the ‘A’ semi and drop- ped to ‘B’ side on a 103-84 loss. This meant they’d have to win three straight ‘B’ games to earn a place in the final of this 12-team section. This they did by beating Bella Bella (119-94), Kincolith (86-84) and Trojans (79-63). The undefeated Haida Gwaii squad, meanwhile, had won three in a row for the ‘A’ side championship berth. They downed Greenville (86-71), Metlakatla and then Trojans (90-75). In the big game for all the marbles, Metlakatla produced an 82-75 victory. In the 14-team intermediate section, Metlakatla put together five straight wins to capture ‘A’ side. The Met gang started with a 103-61 win over Terrace. Then they downed Port Simpson 81-63. The ‘A’ semi saw Metla- katla beat Bella Coola 80-75. Their fourth win in a row was the ‘A’ side final where they out- scored Bella Bella 95-87. Meantime, Port Simpson won four straight on ‘B’ side to face Bella Bella which had just lost to the Mets. The Simpsonites failed to gain a final berth as Bella Bella defeated them 120-104 to earn another shot at Metlakatla. The final was close, but the Alaska kids came out with the ti-. tle on an 84-77 victory. Numerous individual honors were passed out.
