The lights are brighter and the stage is bigger at the 1A and 2A Alaska State Basketball Championships — but the moment wasn’t too big for Kake’s Ethan Kadake and Tikigaq’s Jennifer Nash, who led their respective programs to state titles this past weekend.
From the most storied sporting event in Alaska, the Iditarod, to one of the biggest sporting events in the state, this edition of 907 Sports has you covered.
The Lumen Christi Archangels withstood a late run from the Shaktoolik Wolverines to win the first ASAA 1A girls state basketball championship in the schools history.
The Tikigaq girls basketball team left no doubt that they are the best 2A girls team in the state, beating Metlakatla 55-33 to win back-to-back state championships.
The “Last Great Race” — Iditarod 51 — is in the last stretch of the trail. Hear from mushers as they either rest or blow through the Unalakleet checkpoint.
Pete Kaiser and Richie Diehl have been friends for years, and in Iditarod 51, they had a surprise visit from another pair of best friends: their wives, Bethany Kaiser and Emerie Fairbanks-Diehl.
The face of a race and the heart of a sport, Lance Mackey showcased one of the most dominant runs dog mushing has ever seen with passion, care and resiliency.
While the excitement has ramped up, the numbers have gone the other way. The 51st edition of the Last Great Race will feature its smallest field ever at 33 teams.
There are many stops on the 1,000-mile Iditarod trail from Anchorage to Nome, but some of the most important stops happen before pawing starting line, including the food drops and the vet checks.
In a field of over 200 of the state’s top high school skiers, Service and West Anchorage stood atop the podiums, but they weren't the only ones shining at the state championships.
With many of the major milestones of “The World’s Longest, Toughest Snowmobile Race” behind them, the remaining 15 teams on the Iron Dog trail turn their attentions towards the final 1,000 miles as the leave Nome and head south.
Ashley Wood and Hillarie Gossett are the only all-female team in the 2023 race, and they hope to become the first team of women to finish the Iron Dog since 2001.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game begins the Alaska Board of Fisheries. One of the topics the board is covering is Proposal 140, limiting commercial fishing near the Aleutian Islands.
The Iron Dog trail is rougher than normal this year, according to the racers. Plus, the University of Alaska Anchorage women’s and men’s basketball teams played their last home games and said so long to their seniors.
After some much-needed rest, those left standing in Iron Dog 2023 are out of McGrath and on their way to Ruby before heading towards the Western Alaska coast.
Day one and 300+ miles of trail are behind Iron Dog competitors as the top teams reached the McGrath checkpoint Friday evening led by Team 10, Mike Morgan and Chris Olds.
The Iron Dog is billed as “The world’s longest toughest snowmobile race” and the weather conditions lived up to the billing at the start of the 2023 race.
