Vikings junior girls top Crusaders to win districts
The North Battleford Comprehensive High School Vikings junior girls basketball team topped their cross-town rivals from John Paul II in the final of the Battle West District Championships this past weekend in Macklin.
Thanks to some adjustments, both before the game and during the final, the Vikings took the gold medal thanks to a score of 43-34.
“Both teams playd very hard. It was very intense. Very aggressive on the part of both teams,” Vikings head coach Kara Wilkinson said. “I think we had some really good, well-balanced play and I think that was the difference. When we saw things that we could take advantage of, we did.”
Wilkinson said guard play and mis-matches in the post were two specific areas where adjustments proved fruitful.
