This marks the fth year Fort Simpson-based coach Neil Barry has taken a team to the tournament where a total of 152 high school-aged menandwomensteamsfrom Canada the U.S. and New Zealand will compete. Its exciting for all the players its an international tournament so its pretty big Barry said. You dont often get to play in the United States when youre from the Northwest Territories. Barrys recruitment pro- cess involved scanning tour- namentsfortalentthroughout the year as well as consulting with coaches around the ter- ritory to scout for kids from the more remote regions. A passionate player him- self Barry said he enjoys providing the opportunity for the youth. In the Northwest Terri- tories its really hard to get players competition thats not either low or way too high Barry said. I think this is a really good tournament to get tough competition but we can still be competitive. In some of the major games like na- tionals or Canada Summer Games the competition can be very very high where their games arent close at all but at this tournament weve got- ten wins in the past and we can be competitive. At the same time the top teams are very good so theres a range of levels. The boys started out with a set of practices and exhibi- tion games over the weekend where they came together and played as a team for the rst time. The games of- cially kick off on July 1 with championship rounds taking place on July 4. A life-changing opportunity The cost to send this years team of 12 to the games was about 30000. Barry raised some of the money needed using a GoFundMe page whiletheathletesvolunteered within their own communi- ties to come up with the cash. WehelpedattheNorthern by cleaning stacking things andorganizingthestoresaid Bryce Hardisty Phillips 14. The point guard from Fort Simpson was excited for his rst trip to Arizona and his rst time playing in NABI. Another Fort Simpson point guard Tyler Lafferty 16 attended the tournament two years ago. He assured his teammates the games would be worth their fundraising efforts. It was a good experience seeingotherplayersandmore competition than just around the NWT he said. Theres a lotoffasterbiggertallerplay- ers and it was good. At times it was a little bit frustrating but it was life-changing. I got tomeetnewplayersanditwas my rst time going out of the country I would never have thought Id leave the country and I did. In past NABI events the NWT has churned out some top players like Laurent Isaiah the most prominent player from the North. In 2013 Isaiah was invited to play at the tournaments all star game where he was the leading scorer. He later re- ceived a scholarship from organizers at the NABI Foun- dation as a result of his performance. Some of Barrys students have also attributed their de- cision to get a post-second- ary education to their expe- riences at the tournament the coach said. NABI hosted by the NABI Foundation is known as the largest indigenous basketball tournament in the world. In addition to the competition it also offers mandatory edu- cational sessions during the games where youth are en- couraged to explore their uni- versity and college options. For now though the NWT team is focused on represent- ing the North with their skills on the court. I think we have a really strong team this year a lot of bigger guys. I think its going to be good Lafferty said. PhotoNeilBarry New solutions. Call us at 867.872.3000 Email us at graphicsnorj.ca or simply drop in at 207 McDougal Rd.
