In C Bracket play Metlakatla and Kake went toe to toe and then some in a physical contest that left players shaking their heads but not backing down.
“Just a little bit of jitters,” Metlakatla’s Clifton Guthrie said. “Mostly everybody got off the plane today, we only had two guys already here. One guy showed up halfway through the game.”
Guthrie said of the physical play, “It’s village ball man, a little bit of rez ball, a little bit of structure, it’s fun, you know, kind of a battle of the villages. That’s what I like about this tournament and All Native.”

Guthrie said the team will take away this lesson from the game, “To play for each other. We want to play for each other. Just have fun. We have all played with each other for a long time, just trying to have fun, let loose.”
It is noted that Metlakatla has not won the Gold Medal in a substantial number of years.
“It’s been about 29 years,” Guthrie said. “That’s our goal, but you can’t take any of these teams for granted.”
