Three for the Hall for the 2016 ANBT

When this years All Native Basketball Tournament starts up on February 7th, one of the most anticipated events of the one week tournament will be the Hall of Fame presentation, where ANBT organizers salute those that have had an impact on the tournament over the years.

This year, three women have been selected for the Hall of Fame, with the selection committee announcing that Roberta Edzerza, Tricia Helin and Vera James will all be celebrated at this years tournament.

The decision from the committee was clearly three popular choices, judging by the stream of comments saluting the ladies for their talent and competitive nature through their time in past tournament action. You can review some of that commentary from the ANBT Facebook page

Metlakatla was also quick to salute the selection of Ms. Edzerza, noting her many contributions to the tournament on their website.
