The girls and boys basketball teams have entered district play. After each suffering losses in their first district match of the season, both programs were focused on the path that was in front of them. That path started with a road district game against Katy St. John XXIII on Wednesday, and finished with a home district game against Cypress Christian on Friday.

The girls had a great week of preparation, so it was no surprise to see such great focus and execution. The girls knew that winning on the road would not be easy, and that they needed to play a complete 4 quarter basketball game to come out with the victory. The Lady Vikings did just that, jumping out to a 21-8 halftime lead. In the second half, Katy St. John made a run, but that run was quickly put to an end as the Lady Vikings played great defense and ran the court and finished on the offensive end. The girls ended up winning, 43-30, and were led by Junior Forward, Elisa F, who had 25 points and 20 rebounds. After a focused practice on Thursday to prepare for Cypress Christian, the Lady Vikings kept their momentum going and played their best game of the season, beating Cypress Christian 71-35. The girls are now gearing up for another away district match on Tuesday as they prepare for Second Baptist at 6pm. Come support your Lady Vikings!

The boys team also came out with a purpose for their away district game against Katy St. Johns. After a back and forth game and multiple lead changes, the boys were able to rally in the 4th quarter and outscore Katy St. John’s by 17 in the 4th to go on to win the game, 61-47. The Vikings were led by Junior Forward, Antonio M, who had 27 points! With a short turnaround, the boys were back in action on Friday, this time taking on Cypress Christian. The boys came out with great energy and opened up a double digit halftime lead, en route to a 75-42 victory. The boy’s next game is Tuesday as they travel to take on Second Baptist at 7:30pm. Good luck boys!
