Hurst, Lyons, Ozdyck, Paulsen, Ryan Burns, Douglas, Farmer, Ferngren, Gilliana,
Hoffman, Huber, Jain, Molnar, Pendleton, and Tsagris. The 6th grade girls
continued their winning streak by beating Taft by 28 points. 7th graders who
beat their times included Corkwell, Linn, Stazinski, Villarreal, Majka, Taylor, and
Abby Steele. The 8th graders had a great night with the girls winning by 27

Corneil, Goldfarb, Hargett, Harrington, Huber, Karunaratne, Mockus, Schuiteman,
Sorrick, Tyrka, Wanek, Dalton, Doelling, Kipp, Lease, Mitchell, Stock, Trebil, and

record by 4 seconds and running 3000 meters in 12:05.
The “B” Football team ran its unbeaten record to 6-0-1 with a thrilling 22-14
victory over Chesterton last night in the prelude to Movie Night. Kevin Jackson
opened the scoring with a 10 yard burst into the end zone to open the 2nd quarter
and then connected with Jackson Kurth on a 70 yard touchdown pass that staked
the Vikings to a 14-6 halftime lead. Chesterton came back strong to tie the game
up at 14 and then Kevin Jackson broke free on a broken play scramble, breaking
several tackles en route to a 70 yard touchdown run to give the Vikings the lead
for good. After holding the Trojans on 4th down the Viking were able to run out
the clock behind several strong runs from Jackson Kurth to seal the victory.
Overall, Kevin Jackson led the way with 142 yards rushing and two touchdowns,
while Jackson Kurth ran for 65 yards rushing, 45 of which came on the final drive
to run out the clock. Ayden Bennett had a fumble recovery and Mike Jovanovic
intercepted a pass leading the defense while Treston Winkel played a great game
at linebacker making 7 tackles to lead the Vikings. The Offensive line of Jack
VanBenthuysen, Jarred Craft, John Mudd, Ayden Bennett, and Treston Winkel
opened holes and plowed the way to the Vikings amassing 209 on the ground.
Football practice will end at 4 today. Again, practice will end at 4:00.
The next B game will be game two of a night doubleheader in Crown Point against
Taft next Tuesday night.

The 7th grade volleyball teams traveled to Merrillville last night and came home
with 2 straight wins each. The matches were pretty easy as our girls dominated
with their serves, passes, and hits. Our Vikes then celebrated their victories at
Simon Sez as they ate hotdogs, hamburgers, chicken fingers, gyros, and feta
cheese. The night even got better when the owner gave all of the girls free milk
shakes. Good job girls! Our “B” team will play tomorrow at BF starting at 9am.
Come support our Vikings!
