  For the second time in two weeks, the Vinton-Shellsburg girls basketball team has felt the sting of a last-second loss at home. They lost, 58-55, against Clear Creek-Amana. Down 25-10 early in the second period, the Vikettes rallied to tie CCA at 40 by the end of the third period Tuesday evening in Vinton. With less then 10 seconds left the play, the Vikettes had a chance to tie the game, but the three-point try by freshman Maci Griffith bounced of the rim, off the glass and then off the rim again before falling to the floor as the buzzer sounded.

A strong third-period performance by the Viking defense helped turn a two-point game into a rout, as the Vikings defeated West Delaware 69-51 Friday. The home debut for the Vikings was their second big win of the season. Vinton-Shellsburg held the Hawks to just nine third period points. Coach Joe Johnson said the success of the Vikings’ full court press which contributed to 19 steals is one of the reasons for their two big wins.
