The girls basketball team (7– 8) lost a close 48–40 game to the Blair Blazers.

Both teams were evenly matched in the first quarter with the score going back and forth, but ended up tied 13–13. In the second quarter the Vikes’ scrappy defense held the Blazers to just five points and took a slim two point lead into halftime.

The offense picked up in the second half, but the Vikes maintained their lead through the third quarter. However, the Blazers came to life in the fourth quarter and outscored the Vikes 15–6 to claim the victory.

The Vikes play again Monday Jan. 29 at home against Walter Johnson at 7:15.
