* As the top-ranked football team in Alaska, the Juneau-Douglas Crimson Bears are obligated to play a few games on the road.

Trouble is, there are no roads out of the capital city of nearly 30,000 in the fiords of Southeast Alaska. But that doesn’t stop the Crimson Bears, whose conference foes are schools in Anchorage, 750 miles away.

“We’re used to flying,” Coach Reilly Richey said. “Our closest conference game is an hour and 25-minute jet ride away.”

Three days after the terrorist attacks in New York and Arlington, Va., parents, players and coaches boarded a full flight from Juneau to Anchorage. The team didn’t learn it could fly until about eight hours before departure time.

Juneau (6-0) defeated Colony High of Palmer, 14-7, Saturday in a nonconference game.
