The JV Lady Vikings started off a little slow tonight, but they never hung their heads. Instead, they dug in, regrouped, and battled their way back to a strong 36-24 victory! It was a true team effort, fueled by tough, disciplined defense from start to finish. Poppy and Olivia led the scoring attack with 12 points each, but every player contributed to this win with hustle, heart, and teamwork. Proud of this group and the way they responded! On to the next!

Yesterday the boys and girls bowling teams traveled to Pins Bar and Grill in Ithaca to take on Ithaca High School for our first meet of the year. The boys team lost to Ithaca 17-13 but not without battling with the Yellowjackets. Senior Max Fleming got his two points with a 178 and a 202. Max has showed a lot of improvement over the last three years. Sophomore Brysen Johnson bowled a great game with a 161. With this being first time bowling he is showing improvement within just a couple weeks.

The Lady Vikings took on the Lady Yellowjackets yesterday afternoon. The girls took the first lost on the season 29-1. They battled the lanes a lot yesterday. Junior Isabella Haley bowled one of her best yet with a 186. She has also showed a lot of improvement over the years. Freshmen Ella Holnagel bowled a 110. For being a first time bowler she is showing improvement already.

Today we travel to Northern Lanes for the Trent Carter Baker Invitational. Come on out and cheer on the Vikings! Bowling starts at 12pm.
