SOUTH OTSELIC – It was a better start than last year for the Vikings, who avenged an defeat to Edmeston in last year’s season opener.

David Cerasani hit two three balls in the third quarter scoring 10 of his 24 points, and Taylor Duell finished with 25 points and 10 rebounds for the Vikings. “This is one of the best starts ever for us to start the season,” said OV coach Dave Loomis. “We had a couple of tough scrimmages and didn’t look good, so the kids took this serious. We came out and played well to start the game.”

The Vikings, last year’s Section III, Class D-2 champions, play at Morrisville-Eaton tonight in the first round of M-E’s Thanksgiving tourney.
