IN PHOTOS: Athletes hit the courts in honour of Alfred Moses

East Three School’s second annual Alfred Moses memorial five-on-five basketball tournament hit the courts April 12 and 13 in Inuvik, drawing athletes from across the Beaufort Delta.

The event has been a longstanding tradition in the region, but was renamed last year to honour the memory of Moses, who was a regular attendee of the tournament and a strong advocate of basketball and athletics in the North.
