Basketball alumni game a hoot, raises some good loot


A boys’ alumni basketball game was held on Saturday, Feb. 9 and former Vikings came from all throughout the state to participate.

It was the first alumni game held in many moons, but head coach Colin Everson said the games were a lot of fun.

“The alumni game(s) went well,” said Everson. “We had four teams of 5-6 players each. We also had a 3-point shootout in between a couple games. It was a fun day, and great to play with everyone.

“We did raise around $400 for the basketball program. I think it will only grow as this was year 1 and we were feeling things out. I think next year we could get maybe six teams and really make a day out of it. Thanks to everyone who was able to make it.”
