The
Sitka boys basketball team hopes to win Alaska's Class 3A state title this weekend.
But win or lose, the Wolves will go home heroes.
Wednesday in Anchorage – site of the ASAA 3A/4A state tournaments – members of the team spotted a fire in an apartment complex and jumped into action by alerting residents and escorting others to safety, according to a report by
CBS News and affiliate KTVA-TV.
No injuries were reported but 25 residents were displaced.
Sitka (14-9) opens the 3A state tournament Thursday against
Grace Christian (Anchorage).
