Senior girls Vikings win gold at home; senior boys win gold in P.A.
It’s a year where the North Battleford Comprehensive High School Vikings senior girls basketball team has moved up from 4A to 5A, and it just so happens it’s also a season where they have an incredibly young team.
But that hasn’t stopped the Vikings from making waves in senior girls basketball.
This past weekend, they went a perfect 4-0 and won the 12-team Viking Invitational, taking down stiff competition along the way, including Moose Jaw Peacock, Estevan, and Swift Current.
“To be honest with you, it was a little surprising,” Vikings head coach Bryan Cottini said of taking home the gold. “When I put the draw together, I ranked all the teams and I put us at around five or six out of 12. So to jump from that five, six range up to number one was quite an accomplishment for those girls.”
