T
he Viking boys basketball team
came into Friday’s final Far
West League match-up in hopes
of upsetting undefeated rival and
league champion North Bend for sever-
al reasons — not the least of which was
to secure the league’s No. 2 spot head-
ing into the state play-in game.
To do so would mean the first post-
season appearance by the Vikings in
nearly a decade.
In addition, it was also Senior Night,
and potentially the last game on the
home hardwood for seniors Brogan
Cornish and Marcos Reyna-Ayala.
Plus, handing the Bulldogs (10-0)
their first loss of the season would be
an added bonus.
