The girls were very focused this year. Right from the very first practice, they all said their goal this year is to make it Hoopla and represent our region. … We have five Grade 12 players in the lineup. They’re all good friends and they have a lot of chemistry between them. They play as a team, and it shows.” The Vikings led 50-35 with five minutes to play before relinquishing a late run. “It was a little tense at the end there,” said Hardcastle.
