Viking Girls Basketball The 8th grade girls came out to an early lead against the Wredling Redhawks last night. The scoring was balanced as Kate Palmer led with 10 points and Kelly McClougan and Bella Walton both chipped in 8. Sydney Schertzer and Grace Sowers hit big buckets down the stretch to extend the lead. With a minute and a half left in regulation the Vikings were up 40-14 until the RedHawks put on a full court press and went on a six point run. Fortunately the Vikings were able to hold on and won by a final score of 42-20. The 7th grade A Basketball team traveled to Wredling last night and did not come home victorious.
