It’s fun to be good. It’s rewarding to see your hard work pay off. It’s fun to be able to impose your will on your opponent. And most of all, basketball is more fun when you win! At PGC, you’ll learn how to have more fun. Not in the sense of silliness or light-hearted pleasure, but the kind of fun that comes from the satisfaction of knowing that you’re prepared, and then performing at your best. -PGC
PGC Camps have generously offered to partner with the AABC and are leading the basketball industry in developing players. We are excited to work with PGC, and they have generously offered to provide scholarships to both coaches and players from the state of Alaska.

basketball prodigy renowned for his hard work, Trajan Langdon single-handedly raised Athe profile of Alaska high school basketball in the Lower 48 states with his prowess as a 6-foot-3, barrier-breaking guard for East High School in Anchorage during the 1990s. In his four seasons starting for the Thunderbirds, Langdon led his team to three consecutive Alaska large-school state championships and became the first player in state history to be selected player-of-the-year three times. Regarded as a deadly three-point jump shooter, Langdon, whose first name was gleaned from a Roman emperor, was nicknamed “The Alaskan Assassin.” With Langdon as a talented scorer and passer, yet appreciated simultaneously as an unselfish player, East gained national recognition and faced some of the nation’s top talent in games against powerhouse schools. In an unprecedented accomplishment for an Alaskan, Langdon was invited to participate in national summer camps for undergraduate players. He played in the McDonald’s All-America game and won the 3-point shooting contest. Langdon became the most heavily recruited Alaskan in history before selecting traditional power Duke University for his collegiate play. During his Blue Devils career, Langdon was an All-Atlantic Coast Conference performer, an All-American and played in the NCAA championship game. A 90 percent free-throw shooter, Langdon set Duke records for 3-point shooting. Over summers while in college, Langdon played minor league baseball in the San Diego Padres organization. In 1998, Langdon was a member of the United States team that won a bronze medal at the FIBA World Championships. A lottery draft pick, Langdon became the first Alaskan to play in the NBA when he was chosen by the Cleveland Cavaliers and made his pro debut in 1999. Langdon spent parts of three seasons with the Cavaliers and then played professionally in Europe, including seven successful years with Russia’s Moscow CSKA. Langdon then returned stateside and became an NBA executive. He worked in the front office for the San Antonio Spurs (three seasons) and Cavaliers (one season) before becoming the assistant general manager for the Brooklyn Nets in 2016.

– Lew Freedman (Courtesy of the Alaska Sports Hall of Fame) Hall of Fame George Houston eorge Houston is a basketball coaching Ginstitution in the state of Alaska, one of which who is considered to be a mentor, inspi- ration, and a coaching legend. Coach Houston has dedicated his life to helping school-aged kids through the game of basketball in the state of Alaska. He has had an influence on thousands of kids across the state in his 40+ years of involvement with basketball. Coach Houston grew up in Juneau and was a state champion basketball player at Juneau-Douglas High School (JDHS) in 1969. He chose to stay in state to go to college at UAF, where he worked with the Lathrop High School basketball team. Upon his graduation from UAF, he returned to Juneau where he began teaching and working with his alma mater. Coach Houston spent 18 years as an assistant coach and then another 13 years as a head coach. During his tenure at the helm of JDHS he won over 200 games, including 11 Region V championships and two state championships, and only finished outside of the top 5 in the state twice. Since his retirement from teaching and running the basketball program at JDHS over a decade ago, he began volunteering his time to work with middle school basketball players, multiple local camps and clinics, and the local AAU programs. Coach Houston’s success and dedication to kids through the sport of basketball in Alaska is unparalleled. His humble nature has never sought out individual awards and accolades, but those in coaching circles, or even remotely associated with high school basketball in the state of Alaska, know his lasting impact. BARON IS ALSO THE HALL OF FAME RING PROVIDER. Congratulations to Trajon Langdon and George Houston for being inducted to the 2017 AABC Hall of Fame! AABC All-Star Alumni
