Mike Vukovcan The Hopewell Vikings entered last night’s game looking to end a 2-game losing streak and more importantly, were looking to pick up a section win.
It was very apparent early on that this game wasn’t going to be close, and it was just a matter of how many points Hopewell wanted to score and how long the starters were going to play.
Coach Mottes kept most of his starters in till late in the 3rd quarter and the final score ended up being Hopewell 48 Quaker Valley 0.
Give credit to the Quaker Valley program who despite battling roster size issues battled hard but were just undermanned.
