The Lady Vikings, after having a few weeks off from games, took on Cedar Park Christian Bothell, away, on Jan. 2. The team was short-handed, and fought their way through, but fell just short of a victory with a 32-40 loss.

The team then went to South Whidbey on Jan. 4 and battled again.

The Lady Vikings also will be taking on Friday Harbor on Jan. 10 at 6 p.m., excited for their first home game on the year. On Jan. 11, the team will have another home game against Evergreen Lutheran at 1 p.m. The Lady Vikings are eager to take on their season ahead.
