Prep sports today…

There’s plenty of activity on the track.  The Vikings will host three other teams at the Siuslaw Ice Breaker beginning at 3:30 this afternoon at Hans Peterson Field.  Mapleton is hosting several teams for the Sailor Relays.  Viking baseball hits the diamond for the first time today in Sweet Home where they’ll face the Huskies in a game that had been originally scheduled for Friday but was moved up to beat the rain.

Viking softball is in Sweet Home also this afternoon.
