The CHS Wolverines opened their season with a pair of wins over 3A MatSu Valley opponents on Dec. 21 and Dec. 22.
Cordova cruised by Redington 59 – 27 in the first game of their 2018-19 campaign. Junior Kaiden Graves led the Wolverines with 19 points, including four three-pointers. Christian Adams, another junior, hit in double digits with 12.
Houston proved to be a stronger challenge, but the Wolverines made their record 2-0 with a 69-45 win. Junior Evan Gatton topped the CHS attack with 24 points, including 15 out of 16 from the free throw line. Adams added 18 points.
CHS Coach Bert Adams was happy with the results.
“It was a good start,” he said. “Everybody played, and with the depth we have this year, we can be more aggressive and physical.”
Cordova resumes play on Jan. 2-5 at the Rally the Regions tournament in Anchorage. This year’s field includes Selawik, Scammon Bay, Haines, Wrangell, Tok and Cordova.
“It’s a good tournament,” Adams said. “It is always fun the face teams from throughout the State that we otherwise rarely see, and a great way to learn how to adjust to new opponents and styles of play.”
Cordova’s first home games will be on Jan. 11-12 versus Conference opponent Su Valley.
