IN PHOTOS: First annual Alfred Moses Memorial tournament
East Three School’s annual five-on-five basketball tournament officially rebranded itself as the annual Alfred Moses Memorial Tournament Feb. 10-11. Moses was an avid supporter of Inuvik basketball and the program felt naming a tournament after him was a good way to honour his memory. In the end, the host East Three Eagles u19 took the championship.
