FAIRBANKS – The Alaska Nanooks men's basketball team has announced the signing of Demarcus Hall-Scriven, a 6'3" wing who last played at Skagit Valley College in Mt. Vernon, Wash. 
 
"We want to welcome Demarcus back to Alaska, our staff is excited that he chose to be a Nanook." Said head coach Greg Sparling, "He played the last couple years for a great coach in the NWAC, Carl Howell, who has helped Demarcus develop into a very good defender. Demarcus won a state championship at 3A ACS in 2019 under Head Coach Zach Madren and was a Second Team North Region Selection at Skagit Valley College (NWAC). Offensively he is a dynamic wing that can play the point, and both wing spots.  He is very versatile and we look forward to helping Demarcus grow in all facets over the next couple years."
 
Hall-Scriven is coming off of a 2021-22 season that saw him play in 29 games, starting 27 of them, and scoring 11.0 points per game while shooting 42.2% from the field, 30.0% from beyond the three-point line and 70.9% from the free-throw line. Alongside his scoring ability, Hall-Scriven grabbed 5.4 rebounds per game, picked up 3.1 assists per game and averaged nearly a steal and a half per game with an average of 1.4.
 
In 72 career games at SVC, Hall-Scriven posted 10.4 points per game, 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 steals. 
 
Hall-Scriven is returning to Alaska after spending his high school days at Anchorage Christian School where he led ACS to the 2019 ASAA Class 3 state title. 
 
Additional men's basketball signees will be announced soon.
