Aurora dishes out 2021 All-Conference basketball honors

FAIRBANKS, Alaska (KTVF) - In a year in which teams were not quite sure how many games would be played, or if the season would see a finish line, the Class 3A’s Aurora Conference wrapped up a full slate of regular-season games plus a tournament. Of the 12 programs that represent the conference, four punched their tickets to the Alaska High School State Tournament March 25-27 in the Mat-Su Valley with the Monroe Catholic boys and girls programs, as well as both Valdez teams earning berths.

Following the Aurora Conference tournament that features programs across Alaska, the season’s All-Conference awards were announced.
