A tough first half left the Vikings trailing 31-29 as they decided to make a change on defense. The Vikings came out out in a full press and only allowed eight points in the third quarter while Gaylon Turner continued to dominate and Jaylon Winters stepped up with a couple of buckets.

By the fourth quarter WC had the lead as Garrett Orgas-Fisher leaped up for a big dunk and they quickly went up by double digits.

Turner led the team with 29 points on the night in the big win.

“I’m feeling good especially since we got everyone back and the chemistry is there and our practice yesterday definitely helped how we played today,” Turner said.
