PELICAN RAPIDS- Tuesday's Section 8-2A battle in Pelican Rapids did not disappoint.
The Vikings (13-3) narrowly defeated the Wadena-Deer Creek girls basketball team (9-5) 38-35. The Wolverines saw their winning streak halted at three games.
“Tough battle tonight in Pelican Rapids,” WDC head coach Jordan Cresap said. “I thought we did a lot of good things throughout the game. Just didn’t make the big plays down the stretch. We competed tough defensively. Good thing to take from this one is we showed we can hang with the best of the best in Section 8-2A.”
