Stephanie Shaw, dubbed “The Haitian Sensation” by her coach and teammates for her routinely sizzling performance on the court, stole the show on Saturday with fabulous energy and precision.
“Stephanie had an amazing game; she was all over the court,” coach Terry Moran-Hodge said. “It was the most impressive playing I’ve seen and the most points scored by any Viking player since I’ve been coaching over the past six years. She hit 50 percent from the three-point line.”
The Lopez Lobos are going to the State championships this year, thanks to a second playoff win at the Tri-District tourney.
“The guys are just thrilled; they worked really hard all year, overcame some injuries, and came up big,” said coach M.R. Buffum.
He’s pretty stoked, too, adding, “It’s been 28 years since I’ve coached a team at state.”

The Lady Vikes pulled a second win from their hats against the Darrington Loggers this Saturday, thanks to incredible determination on defense and a hot 23-point 4th quarter. The Viking girls, always competitive, responded to end-of-season stakes by kicking the intensity up even further.
“You can really tell this is an important game,” commented observer Sandi Harris.
The Viking boys took down the Darrington Loggers on Saturday, Feb. 6 in a close match. The game hinged on a fight for the densely populated territory under the basket; both teams seemed focused on driving in down low to score, and heavy competition for rebounds spawned a few wrestling matches.
“We weren’t hitting from the three point line, so we had to find somewhere else to make the baskets,” said Tyler Nigretto.
