SOUTH OTSELIC— The Otselic Valley Vikings girls’ basketball team hosted McGraw on Wednesday night, falling 60-40.

The Lady Vikings showed significant improvement after a quiet first quarter, finding their stride to post 29 of their 40 points during the second and third quarters.

Miranda Hackett led the Vikings with 20 points with two three’s and nine rebounds.

Mackenzie Reandeau added eight points, going four-for-six at the free-throw line and had a team-high 10 rebounds.

Emma Rooker finished with seven points with three rebounds and three steals.
