A wonderful season ended for coach Karl Momrik’s Posen Vikings with a 74-68 loss to St. Ignace (24-0) in the regional finals. Playing before a packed house at Gaylord High School, the Vikings gave the Saints all they could handle.

With the score tied 20-20, the Saints used a tough full-court press to run off the next 16 points. The Posen faithful might have lost a bit of faith at that point, but Posen rallied. Posen cut the lead to 58-56 early in the fourth quarter.

Korynn Hincka scored 22 of her game-high 40 points in a remarkable third quarter performance.
