Big showdown coming between top teams

It’s Homecoming time at Cordova High, and a big showdown between the top two boys’ teams in the 2A Interior Conference will highlight a weekend of activities.

Seeding at the conference playoffs on March 12-14 will be on the line as the Cordova Wolverines tangle with perennial rival Glennallen here today and tomorrow, March 6 and 7.

The Cordova boys enter the two-game series ranked No.1, with a perfect 8-0 record; right behind them is Glennallen, with a 7-1 record. The Panther’s only loss so far in conference play is to SuValley.

Last year Glennallen knocked off Cordova in the conference playoffs here, thus earning the higher seed at the 2A State tournament, while CHS received the runner-up seed.

This time it will be the top seed at conference playoffs at SuValley on the line, as the quest for slots at March Madness — Alaska Style — begins March 18-21 in Anchorage.

The Cordova boys enter their final home games of the season with a 18-3 overall record.

The action begins Friday, March 6 with Boys JV at 6 p.m., followed by Senior Night Recognition at 7:30 p.m., Girls Varsity at 8 p.m., and Boys Varsity at 9:30 p.m.

Saturday, March 7 starts with a mini cheer performance at 3:15 p.m., followed by JV boys at 3:30 p.m., girls’ varsity at 5 p.m., Homecoming Coronation at 6:30 p.m., and Boys Varsity at 7 p.m.
