The Juneau-Douglas High School: Yadaa.at Kalé boys’ basketball team recently held our end of the season awards ceremony. Every season we set our on-court goals as winning the Region V Championship and the State Championship. We won the Region V Championship in the most dramatic fashion, a furious 7-point comeback in the last minute of regulation to tie the game, and then with 2.4 seconds the team capped it off with a steal that led to the game-winning, buzzer-beating shot! The totality of the comeback and victorious moment was mind-boggling. The subsequent joy and elation from the players, coaches, and Crimson Bear faithful during the on-court celebration was incredible. This win earned us the right to represent Region V at the State Tournament. While we fell short of our goal of winning a State Championship, we gained a lot of valuable experience to build on moving forward into next season.
We know that our basketball program does not exist in a vacuum. The coaching staff wants to extend our gratitude to our families for supporting the time and effort we put in to coaching. There are a lot of late nights and weekends away from home during the season and we are thankful for their support. We are also grateful for all the parents/guardians that supported the players and the program this year. The coaches also want to thank our student managers, Tristan Oliva and Denali Isaak, who were integral to our daily operations. They were excellent at keeping the program organized while completing numerous essential tasks.
The support of the JDHS Cheer/Stunt Team, Dance Team, student body, pep band, Crimson Club, and community this season was amazing. The energy and excitement these groups provided on game day was second to none. Also, thank you to all those that cheered on the team in-person or through the live-stream, purchased raffle tickets, and joined the Fast Break Club.
The coaching staff greatly appreciates the efforts and continued support of the JDHS administration, activities office, teachers, and counselors. We’d like to specifically thank Principal Paula Casperson, Assistant Principal Nate Creel, Athletic Director Chad Bentz, and Activity Assistants Jana Morrison, Laura Campos, Toni DeSanto, and Counselors Jennifer Knaggs and Natalia Bucher. We would also like to thank our superintendent, Dr. Bridget Weiss, for her support of Crimson Bear basketball.
And lastly, we appreciate the media and their coverage of our season. They are vital to keeping our family, friends, and the community informed on our season. Thank you to Klas Stolpe at KINY and thank you to the sports department at Juneau Empire.
To wrap-up the 2021-2022 boys’ basketball season the team gathered for an awards ceremony. Some of the awards are statistical in nature and the players voted on the rest.
The winners for the JV’s special awards, as voted by team members, are as follows:
• Most Improved: Gavin Gerrin
• Most Inspirational: Leo Reyes-Boyer
• Most Hustle: Caden Mesdag
• Best Defense: Tayten Bennetsen
• Most Valuable Player: Bodhi Nelson
• Coaches Award: Alex Mallott
The winners for the Varsity statistical awards are as follows:
• Best Passer (most assists): Alwen Carrillo
• Best Rebounder (most rebounds): Orion Dybdahl
• Toughness Award (most charges drawn): Porter Nelson/Chris Harris (Tied)
• Marksman (highest 2pt shooting percentage): Sean Oliver
• Deep Threat Marksman (highest 3pt shooting percentage): Kai Hargrave

The Varsity special awards, as voted by team members, are as follows:
• Most Improved: Orion Dybdahl
• Most Inspirational: Adrell Mulgrew-Truitt
• Most Hustle: Tias Carney
• Best Defense: Alwen Carrillo
• Most Valuable Player: Alwen Carrillo
The final special award given was created decades ago and named for late Juneau resident, Zach Gordon, for his commitment to Juneau-Douglas High School: Yadaa.at Kalé athletics/activities and his longtime support of the youth of Juneau. This award is given to the player that best embodies the ideals and values of being a Crimson Bear basketball player on the court, in the classroom, and the community. For those reasons, it is considered the highest honor available in our program. This year, through team member voting, the Zach Gordon Award went to Tias Carney.
As a coaching staff we would like to mention that it was truly our pleasure to work with seniors Alyx Bohulano, Tias Carney, Adrell Mulgrew-Truitt, Porter Nelson, Jake Sleppy, and Terrence Hawkins. Success leaves clues, and these seniors left plenty of clues for the returning players. They displayed a work ethic and caring towards their teammates that will benefit the returning players well when they follow the path that has been created.
On another note, Coach Ben Kriegmont has decided to retire his whistle and spend his time chasing the ever-elusive winter king salmon. We thank him for all his time, effort, and dedication while providing guidance and support to the players in our program. His perspective on the game and the players was extremely helpful to his fellow coaches. Coach Kriegmont has been a member of our coaching staff since 2015 and will be greatly missed. We wish him well in all his future endeavors.
Again, thank you to our families and Juneau for all your help. Each season is truly a team effort that is supported by many. We know that without your support none of this would be possible. We look forward to our returning and incoming players working hard to improve this off-season so the JDHS boys basketball team can continue to proudly represent our community.
Sincerely,
Juneau-Douglas High School: Yaada.at Kalé

These attributes were recognized by the Alaska Sports Hall of Fame through their Directors’ Awards. Senior Cooper Kriegmont was one of three finalists for the Boys Pride of Alaska Award for “demonstrating integrity and sportsmanship, so as to be a positive role model for others.” The entire JDHS boys varsity team was selected as one of three finalists for the Trajan Langdon Leadership Award for “demonstrating leadership, integrity and sportsmanship during the past year and positively influencing and inspiring others to be better sportsmen or sportswomen.” Being nominated for these awards is an honor; being selected as a finalist among so many worthy nominees statewide is humbling.
The varsity was also recognized for these very same qualities and, “… for their competitive spirit, teamwork, love of sport, and grace under the pressure of a very difficult year”, by the 32nd Alaska State Legislature through a citation sponsored by Representative Sara Hannan and co-sponsored by Senator Jesse Kiehl and Representative Andi Story. The totality of these recognitions from individuals and groups across the state causes our hearts to swell with pride for the young men and women in our program.
We know that our basketball program does not exist in a vacuum and the coaching staff often noted how important the community was to our efforts this season. In light of that fact, we would like to acknowledge the following individuals and groups for their continued support. The coaching staff wants to extend our gratitude to our families for supporting the time and effort we put in to coaching. There are a lot of late nights and weekends away from home during the season and we are thankful for their support. We are also grateful for all the parents/guardians that supported our efforts to conduct our season during a global pandemic. Thank you for trusting us. The coaches also want to thank our student managers, Mackenzie Jackson and Tristan Oliva, who were integral to our daily operations. They were often seen hustling through the gym keeping us organized and completing numerous essential tasks.
We would also like to acknowledge the support of the JDHS Cheer/Stunt Team, Dance Team, student body, pep band, Crimson Club, and community this season. The energy and excitement these groups provide the team with is unparalleled. Also, thank you to all those that cheered us on in-person or through the live-stream, purchased raffle tickets, and joined the Fast Break Club.

This year Cooper Kriegmont and Brock McCormick were selected to the Region V All-Conference team. Kriegmont was also selected as a member of the All-State First Team. In addition to these individual honors, to wrap-up the 2021 boys’ basketball season the team recently gathered for an awards ceremony. Some of the awards are statistical in nature and the players voted on the rest.
The winners for the JV’s special awards, as voted by team members, are as follows:

For those reasons, it is considered the highest honor available in our program. This year, through team member voting, the Zach Gordon Award went to Jake Sleppy.
We also had a unique opportunity to recognize a member of our program that displayed characteristics that are highly valued in the Crimson Bears basketball program; setting goals and working to achieve them. Over the years, David Timothy has held several different titles in our program (manager, student-assistant, advisor, etc.), but he has always coveted being an official “Coach.” This Spring, he made that dream a reality by passing the Basketball Coaching class offered by the National Federation of High Schools. With that certification, we are pleased to announce Coach Timothy as the newest member of our coaching staff.
As a coaching staff we would be remiss not to mention the leadership and guidance provided by the senior class this season. It was truly our pleasure to work with seniors Brock McCormick, Raekwon Razor, Cooper Kriegmont, Malakai Nichols, Garrett Bryant, Ben Coutu, Gabe Williams, Mackenzie Jackson, Lope Elizarde, and Marcos Yadao. The graduating seniors have left the returning players a roadmap to success, which is paved with hard work and dedication in the off-season.
Again, thank you to our families and Juneau for all your help. Each season is truly a team effort that is supported by many. We know that without your support none of this would be possible. We look forward to our returning and incoming players working hard to improve this off-season so the JDHS boys basketball team can continue to proudly represent our community.

2021 Season Wrap Up and Awards
The Juneau-Douglas High School: Yadaa.at Kalé boys’ basketball team recently held our end of the season awards ceremony. The team worked extremely hard during the year and battled through several setbacks and some adversity. Every season we set our on-court goals as winning the Region V Championship and State Championship. While we did win the Region V Championship in a convincing manner, that would be the last game of our season due to COVID concerns at the community chosen for hosting the state tournament. Even though we did not have the opportunity to participate in the state tournament this year, we could not have been prouder of the character, integrity, and sportsmanship displayed by this team.

We know that our team does not exist in a vacuum and the coaching staff often noted how important the community was to our efforts this season. In light of that fact, we would like to acknowledge the following individuals and groups for their continued support;
The coaching staff wants to extend our gratitude to all the parents/guardians that filled vital roles volunteering this season for things like staffing the Fast Break Club table, helping with fundraisers, housing visiting teams, etc. Our student managers, Mackenzie Jackson and Mira Marthaler were integral to our daily operation and could often be seen running around the gym completing tasks to keep us afloat. We would also like to give a special nod to Melissa McCormick and Gretchen Kriegmont because they did an amazing job wearing many hats in support of the team this season.
We would also like to acknowledge the support of the JDHS Cheer/Stunt Team, Dance Team, student body, and community this season. The energy and excitement these groups bring to our home games is unparalleled. Also thank you to all those that attended our home games and cheered us on, purchased raffle tickets, and joined the Fast Break Club, or the Business Banner program. You provided the necessary financial support to fund our season.
In an effort to give back to the community, the members of the Crimson Bears boys basketball program participated in several community service events, including Juneau Parks & Rec’s Day of Play, the Southeast Alaska Food Bank Food Drive as donation collectors, cheering on participants in the Girls on the Run 5k, hosting a Cancer Connection fundraiser and donating $3000 in memory of former player Kevin Guimmayen, and supporting the “Take a Time Out to Talk” Suicide Prevention Awareness efforts during the Region V basketball tournament. As always, we appreciate and enjoy the opportunity to do our part and work with such worthy causes that aim to improve Juneau.
In line with that premise, we are thankful for our partnership with AWARE, Inc., and the CDVSA for their instrumental guidance and encouragement during our ninth year implementing the Coaching Boys into Men (CBIM) program. This year our program was humbled to be selected along with Simon Friday of Kake, to represent CBIM and receive the Shirley Demientieff award at AFN from the Governor and First Lady of the State of Alaska. The Crimson Bears also received the Strike Out Against Violence national award from Futures Without Violence in partnership with the San Francisco Giants of the MLB. One of the goals of the CBIM program is to help the members of our team learn how to foster and maintain respectful interactions with girls, women, and peers. We know CBIM has had a tremendous impact in our program and our school community over the years.
The coaching staff greatly appreciates the efforts and continued support of the JDHS administration, activities office, teachers, and counselors. We’d like to specifically thank Principal Paula Casperson, Assistant Principal Kim McNamara, Athletic Director Chad Bentz, and Activity Assistants Jana Morrison, Laura Campos, Toni DeSanto, and Counselors Jennifer Knaggs and Sanaye Thompson. We would also like to thank our superintendent, Dr. Bridget Weiss, for her steadfast support of Crimson Bear basketball and all the other JSD athletics and activities.
We also appreciate the media and their coverage of our season. They are vital to keeping our family, friends, and the community informed on our season; Thank you to KINY Radio and the Juneau Empire for their dedication during changing times in the media business.

For those reasons, it is considered the highest honor available in our program. This year, through team member voting, the Zach Gordon Award went to Tad Watson.
As a coaching staff we would be remiss not to mention the leadership and guidance provided by the senior class this season. It was a pleasure to work with seniors Uly Salaver, Austin McCurley, and Tad Watson. We are proud of them for the effort and personal growth they displayed this year. They have left a solid foundation for the returning players to build upon.
Again, thank you to our families and Juneau for all your help. Each season is truly a team effort that is supported by many. We know that without your support none of this would be possible. We look forward to our returning and incoming players working hard to improve this off-season so the Juneau-Douglas High School boys basketball team can continue to proudly represent our community.
