Nome hosted the third annual Dudley Homelvig Memorial Scramble last weekend tugging teams from Unalakleeet, Buckland, Shaktoolik, Shishmaref, White Mountain, Kiana, Kotzebue, Wales, Elim, Savoonga, Galena, Gambell and Selawik into the Nome-Beltz gym to tussle.
The event kicked off Friday night by honoring the 10 seniors on the team: Brant Bradley, Fred Holmes, Arianna Olanna, Renee Brown. Trace Tucker, Cole Gray, Talan Johnson, Treydon Thomas, Chris Smith and Aden Iyapana.
Seniors were showered with gifts, flowers balloons and leis from their families. Nanook Wrestling Coach Jared Miller said it was an honor to work with them over the past few years he was their coach.
“It’s gonna be hard parting with them at the end of the year,” Miller said.
