Site News

I’ll leave out the commentary, I’ve done enough of that this weekend, and simply say Vikings Sports Now had a tremendous week as a whole.

Most importantly, we let you know about the happenings in Hopewell athletics and along the way, the website received a record number of traffic/visitors.

Things started with our coverage of the Hopewell Girls Volleyball team winning their section in dramatic fashion and closed up with the junior high football team picking up an impressive win. Mixed in with that of course was an important football game that took place on Friday night.

As we do every Monday, Vikings Sports Now recaps the previous by listing our Top Five most read stories from the previous week and any other site news.

We do have some news as we’re excited to report that last week’s traffic was the highest since we started Vikings Sports Now. Not only did we have our most page views (3,200+), but we also set a high for most visitors to the site.

This is big because that means more people get to the see our tremendous sponsors that have joined the Vikings Sports Now family.

With football, soccer, volleyball and fall baseball season set to begin, it’s only a matter of time until I’m reporting on a new record of traffic and visitors.
