The annual Totem basketball tournament is, according to students at Alberni District Secondary School, kind of a big deal. However, the longest-running high school basketball tournament is so much more than the games themselves.
The cheer and dance teams, pep band, Totem Spirit competitors, visitors, coaches, volunteers, vendors, cleaning staff, spectators—they all play a role in the annual tournament.
Our Alberni Valley News photographers captured some of the moments that made up Totem 69.
