Kodiak opens against Lathrop today

Horn, a junior, is Kodiak’s first option off the bench and has started four games this season in place of Hannah Wandersee and Jerica Nelson. “For her to step up like she has during the stretch, not only was that huge for us, but it h...

In its Tuesday night work session, the Kodiak Island Borough assembly debated the merits of including some dropped project options using a $7.5 million grant from the 2011 Alaska Legislature for the vocational education portion of the project.

This is Nelson’s third state appearance; the first two were with Colony. “I am just going to tell the team to play like it is any other game — don’t let it get to y...
