(deadline is March 11, 2011)  Devin Braaten (22) sings the national anthem Friday night HAINES–Fourth quarters in basketball can be exciting when your team is slightly ahead but by no means has the game put away. Such was the case in Friday night’s Varsity game pitting the Glacier Bear boys against the Craig Panthers. In a game that was never a run-away by either team, the score was 55-53 in Haines favor with 48 seconds remaining. The troublesome thing for Haines fans was that Craig had been hitting three-pointers all evening including six in the fourth quarter.

But a 4th quarter rally by Haines brought the final score to only a four point loss, 43 -47. Coming off the 3A state championship, the Haines Glacier Bears drew an expectant crowd to the auditorium where a pre-varsity game ceremony honored the 2010 team and unveiled the state championship banner which now graces the north wall of the gym.
