Newcomer to Ninilchik makes immediate impact
By Jeremiah Bartz | Frontiersman.com
It didn’t take long for Landon Colburn to make an impact.
The junior point guard arrived in Ninilchik a week into the
prep basketball season. Now the newcomer is recognized
as one of Alaska’s best. Colburn has been named the
1A BOYS PLAYERS OF THE YEAR
Wasilla Lithia Dodge/Alaska Association of Basketball 2021 Landon Colburn, Ninilchik
2020 Edward Kokeok, Shishmaref
Coaches 1A Boys Player of the Year. 2019 Edward Kokeok, Shishmaref
2018 Lance Folger, Tanana
“He’s embraced Ninilchik and Ninilchik has embraced him,” 2017 Austin White, Ninilchik
Ninilchik head coach Dick Hawkins said. “It’s been a good 2016 Fritz Jackson, Akiachiak
2015 Angel Medina, Scammon Bay
fit.” 2014 Tyrus Morgan, Klawock
2013 Danny Wells, Noorvik
Hawkins said it was a very smooth transition as Ninilchik 2012 John Peterson, Golovin
2011 Oscar Takak Jr, Elim
welcomed the point guard to the program after Colburn 2010 Jonny Samuelson, King Cove
moved from Oregon. 2009 Wayne Holberg, Kalskag
2008 Mason King, Bristol Bay
“It didn’t seem like a problem,” Hawkins said. “We got him into the practices. We told the 2007 Roberto Burgess, Galena
2006 Stan Harvey, Noorvik
kids, they knew he was coming. They accepted him, embraced him. His personality, he 2005 Zach Klein, Bristol Bay
doesn’t try and show off. He doesn’t have to. He just does what he does.” 1A BOYS COACHES OF THE YEAR
2021 Dick Hawkins, Ninilchik
With the easy transition, Ninilchik was able to add to their potential for success. 2020 Mark Gunkel, Thorne Bay
“We already had a good team before he got here and he fit right in,” Hawkins said. “As a 2019 Steve Klaich, Nikolaevsk
2018 Raymond Hyslop, Tanana
coach you couldn’t ask for anything better. He’s coachable. We showed him what we had 2017 Nick Finley, Ninilchik
2016 Nick Finley, Ninilchik
as far as plays and stuff like that, and he fit right in.” 2015 Thomas Belleque, Teller
2014 Brent Hostetter, Noatak
And Colburn did a lot in his first season in the 49th state. He averaged nearly 25 points per 2013 Jim Holein, Klawock
game, which included a season high of 33 points. 2012 Wayne Morgan, Aniak
2011 Bob Rychnovsky, Newhalen
“He brings a lot of energy to whatever he does,” Hawkins said. “He’s a real energetic kid. 2010 Bob Rychnovsky, Newhalen
2009 Severin Gardner, Kalskag
He’s not real tall, but he plays big. But that is in part to the energy he brings. He’s fast. He’s 2008 Orin Wear, Galena
2007 Mike Zibell, Noorvik
quick.” 2006 Mike Zibell, Noorvik
Hawkins said has a broad skill set. 2005 Bruce Gabriel, Cook Inlet Academy
“He dribbles the ball really well, he passes really well. He has an excellent shot,” Hawkins ** 1992-2008, 1A and 2A were combined on
same ballot
said. “He’s got a full bag of tricks, and he’s not afraid of anybody.” ** Please visit the AABC website for Players
and/or Coaches of the year prior to 2005.
Hawkins said Colburn also quickly fit in off the court.
“He’s just a nice kid. Kids like to be around him. He’s looking forward to the summer. Kids
have already said they are going to take him fishing and do the Alaska thing with him,”
Hawkins said.

Second-generation Viking named 2A’s top player
By Jeremiah Bartz | Frontiersman.com
Brennan Skeek has been a big part of the Petersburg boys
basketball program for the past four years. Surrounded by all-
state caliber talent the point guard has helped the Vikings
continue to stay among the top tier of 2A programs in the

state. This year, Skeek has earned one of the state’s top honors. 2021 Brennan Skeek, Petersburg

“I can’t remember when I’ve had a freshman (junior varsity) player who people would watch in 2005 Zach Klein, Bristol Bay

could make in the open court, and with his athleticism.’ 2021 Rick Brock, Petersburg
2020 Teddy Frankson, Tikigaq
Brock said Skeek, as a freshman, quickly filled the void left by an all-state senior who led 2019 James Fields, Glennallen
Petersburg to a state title the year before. 2018 Jonathan Alsup, Tok
2017 Rick Brock, Petersburg
“He took over the point guard position as a freshman and actually played really well in the 2016 Kent Russell, Unalaska
state tournament as a freshman,” Brock said. “From a young age, we knew we had a really good 2015 James Fields, Glennallen
player there.” 2014 Bryan Anderson, Bristol Bay
2013: Albert Green, Hooper Bay
Brock, the longtime head coach of the Petersburg program, said he can’t recall ever having a 2012: Darren Zibell, Noorvik
four-year starter at point guard prior to Skeek. “I’ve had some really good players. I’ve had 2011: Harley Sundown, Scammon Bay
freshmen that played a lot of varsity. (Point guard) is a hard position to play as a freshman,” 2010: John Carle, Hydaburg
