Well the Vikings end their 2010 run at 18-11 and a spot in the Sweet 16 of the AAAAA state playoffs. The Viking men were playing the #8 team in the state in Newton HS last night. They battled all evening even taking the lead late in the 4th. The Vikings trailed by 2 with only seconds left and they hit a great lay-up to tie as time ran out in regulation. In OT Newton pulled away but could never "get rid" of the Vikings. With time running out in OT the Vikings shot a long 3 point attempt only to see in clank off the iron. Vikings lose 59-62 in OT. Newton had avergaged giving up only 45 points a game and their head coach even commented he did not beleive that Lowndes would score 50 on his team. A small consolation but congratulations to the Vikings on a great season.
The Vikettes travel to Redan HS tonight. Redan is the #1 team in Georgia and the #6 team nationaly. Catch all the action at 5:30 PM LIVE on 106.9 FM.
