Petersburg’s varsity Lady Vikings competed in Wrangell’s homecoming basketball games on Jan. 16-17. The girls lost 42–28 on Friday, and 53–40 on Saturday.

“I honestly couldn’t be happier with how my kids played,” he said. “There’s no point in being out on the floor unless you’re going to have fun with it and you’re going to be fun to watch and play hard.”

The Lady Vikings will be competing in Craig on Jan. 23-24.
