Sweet article (albeit a few years old). I particularly like the part
"The distance from Unalaska to Barrow, annual regional rivals, is roughly equal to the distance from Miami to Boston.
Unalaska is so far away and its weather so fickle, few teams want to go there, leading to another odd custom of school sports life in the state: Unalaska pays other high schools to come play against its students."
That seems to partially explain why when I played one season we had a grand total of 2 home games (out of approximately 30 total) and those 2 games fell on the first weekend of the season! Traveling was fun though (i.e. no school!)
