The Vikings traveled to Plains where a 24-point second quarter gave them a 39-23 lead at the half. The Horesemen stayed in the game in the third quarter, but weren't able to keep up in the fourth allowing Bigfork to finish the game with a 69-48 win. Travis Knoll had his breakout game of the season, leading the Vikes with 20 points. Christian Ker contributed 16.
Both the Vikes and Vals travel to Troy on Saturday, Jan. 9, for a double header.
