The 7th Grade Viking Boys Basketball teams were back in action this week against Alma and Ithaca. The B team started the week off with a thrilling game that saw Jameson Malacos hit a game-tying buzzer beater to force overtime. Unfortunately, the Panthers outlasted the Viking B team 39-38. The Viking B team was led by Colten Ray who recorded a Double- Double with 17 pts and 11 rebs. The Viking A team was tested by the Alma A team, but prevailed 41-38 in part to Sawyer Murphy's 19 pts and 14 rebounds. Mason Wilson also played a pivotal role with stellar defense and 6 clutch points which propelled the Viking A team to victory.
On Wednesday, the YellowJackets of Ithaca came to SVMS and were stymied by the both 7th Grade Viking teams. The B team won 40-24 thanks in part to a three- headed monster- Carmelo Casas, Ryder Root, and Maurice Villegas who all scored around 10 points. This improved the B team to 3-2 on the season. The Viking A team dominated from start to finish 54-31, they were led by Matthew Moeller who had 20 pts and 18 rebounds and Griffin Beougher who led the point exquisitely. The win moved the Viking A team to 7-1 on the season.
Also a huge thanks to our 30 6th graders who participated in 6th Grade Boys Basketball Night. The event was a huge success as the young boys went through drills, scrimmages, and games with support from our older players in the program. After playing, all of them were given complimentary pizza/soda and were able to support our Viking 7th grade teams for free.
Go Vikings!
