The Lady Vikings easily won their first game in the District play-offs.

The team played Evergreen Lutheran on Feb. 10 at home.  It was a critical game, as the loser of the game would be done for the season.

The Vikings took a commanding lead in the first quarter, 18 to 5, and continued that lead throughout the game. Bella Nigretto led the team in scoring with 16 points.  The final score was 52-19. The win secured a double elimination spot in the District Tournament.

The Lady Vikings traveled to Bear Creek School near Redmond, Wash. the next day.

“Bear Creek was a very seasoned team ready for us and they immediately jumped into a 2 to 16 lead in the first quarter,” said the coaches. “Orcas girls played with heart and in the second quarter were only outscored by two points.”

As the Vikings’ injuries got the best of them, the game seemed to slip away.  Lana Bronn led in scoring with 9 points, followed by Bella Nigretto and Shelbi Rogers with 7 each. Orcas lost, 54-30.

The Lady Vikings will Cross Point Academy on Feb. 14.
