The Grizzlies won their third straight basketball tourney with their biggest victory of the season over a highly regarded out-of-state opponent.
Grace Christian guard Kellen Jedlicka drives to the basket against Heritage Christian during the championship game of the Alaska Airlines Classic at West High on Saturday, Jan. 21, 2023.
That’s exactly what Grace Christian did in earning a 53-50 triumph to claim its ninth consecutive victory of the season, win its third tournament title in a row and become the the fifth Alaska team to win the Alaska Airlines Classic since its inception in 1989. The Grizzlies are also the first 3A team to win since 2006.
“Kellen came in clutch tonight, last night it was Luke , and the previous week it was Sloan ,” Boerger said. “Guys are stepping up and getting it done. We wouldn’t be where we are without improvement in free throw shooting this year.” “He’s been really clutch at the end of games especially hitting pretty much any 3-pointer,” Sloan Lentfer said.
The Grizzlies vowed they would lean on their often-overwhelming physicality and in doing so, they gave the Warriors all they could handle, outrebounding them 25-21 and contesting the vast majority of their field goals.
