Petersburg’s squad outpassed, out- ran, outshot, and out-thought the Juneau lads, but although the local team lost this first of a best two two of three series for the Southeast Alaska crown, Petersburg was beau- tiful to watch, Something was seen by the crowd last night that is only seen with teams on which the players have been tossing basketballs at each other for the better part of their lives.
