Lady Vikings eying state

“A win against league foe Cedar Park will send our team on to District Playoffs,” said coach Tim Hance. “This Friday’s home game is also Senior Night, where senior players are acknowledged in their final career home basketball game. We could use a large community turnout to cheer us onto victory, honor our amazing seniors, and send us on a state run with this great young basketball team. Please come out and show great community spirit and watch some exciting basketball!”

The Lady Vikings are maintaining a busy schedule and currently stand at 6-4 in league play, with three more games to go.

The team hosted Concrete on Jan. 25. They had lost their previous two matches against the Lions in very tight matches, but the Lady Vikings persevered and came up with a win.

Aliviah Garcia was hot from the field, shooting 5 for 7 to secure the win. The final score was 48-42.

After a one-day break, the La Conner Braves invaded Orcas. It was a very tight defensive game on both sides, but the Braves were able to offensively dominate the Lady Vikings. The Braves won, 41-25.

The next day the girls headed to Shoreline Christian for a must-win league game and they came up dominating.  Bella Nigretto stole the show with an offensive effort of 23 points. Alicia Susol added 16 rebounds. In the final minute, Orcas was up by three points and Shoreline was at the foul line shooting 1 and 1.  Shelbi Rogers snagged the rebound on a missed shot to secure the win. The score was 48-45.

The girls’ final home game is on Friday, Feb. 3 against Cedar Park.

“A win against league foe Cedar Park will send our team on to District Playoffs,” said coach Tim Hance. “This Friday’s home game is also Senior Night, where senior players are acknowledged in their final career home basketball game.  We could use a large community turnout to cheer us onto victory, honor our amazing seniors, and send us on a state run with this great young basketball team. Please come out and show great community spirit and watch some exciting basketball!”

The girls Varsity plays at 4:30 p.m. and the boys play at 3 p.m.
