Viking boys still searching for first league win

Much like last year’s Bothell High team, the Inglemoor boys can’t seem to catch a break as one bad quarter cost the Vikings in a 69-53 loss to Eastlake on the road Tuesday night.

The game was tight at the half, 31-29 in the Vikings’ favor, but the Wolves exploded for 26 points in the third quarter, and held Inglemoor to just eight, to put the game out of reach.

For Inglemoor, Sam Omondi and Trey Miller led with 14 points each, flowed by Chris Bryant and Brendan Lauck with seven each.

The boys are now 0-7 in league and 4-8 overall.
