When I first read Hepa's basketball story in the ADN, I was intrigued and made it a priority to go and watch him play whenever the Barrow Whalers were in Anchorage.  The Barrow Whalers didn't disappoint, nor did Hepa.  I'm proud of the Barrow Whalers and Hepa.  Godspeed  Hepa.  Continue to do Alaska proud.  It was worth my time and money to watch you and your teammates play basketball.
