In the 7th grade contest, the story of the game was Hopewell’s Rilynn Davis as she was virtually unstoppable. The talent guard poured in a career-high 30 points leading the Vikings to a 45-20 win over West A.

Davis has the ability to get points from outside along with driving in the lane and today, which was the case today.

Also contributing offensively for the Lady Vikings were Isla Rock with 7, Neveah Pope with 4 and Callie Sadler with 2. Very productive offensive game for Hopewell as they averaged 11 points per quarter. Also, want to point out that Hopewell’s team defense was outstanding and it was a total team win.

The Hopewell 8th graders kept up their winning ways as they came out ahead this afternoon by a score of 37-27.

Most of their points came in the first and fourth period, which means they started strong and ended strong.

by Mike Vukovcan
written by Mike Vukovcan 1 minutes read

In preparation for their first tournament this weekend, the Hopewell 12-year old All-Star team took on the Ambridge All-Stars in a exhibition game.

The Hopewell coaching staffs strategy was to get all of their pitchers on the mound for an inning in order to have them prepared for this weekend.

All in all, it was a beneficial night as Hopewell came away with a 12-8 victory.

This 12-year old team has a very talented lineup from top to bottom but the two headliners last night were Rilynn Davis and Kruz Krotec.

Vikings Sports Now wants to give a huge shoutout to Davis who hit a long home run to center field. This was the first over the fence home run for Davis in her career. Nice job ‘Superstar’.

Krotec, batting out of the No. 3 spot, was 2-4 with a double and 2 RBIs.

Game Recap-

*1st Inning: In the first pitch of the at-bat, Davis smacked the home run to center field to give Hopewell the lead. Hopewell 1-0.

*2nd Inning: After Ambridge tied the game at 1, Hopewell drew 3 straight walks to start the inning. They then retook the lead on an RBI single by Brandon Cecchini.

After a bases loaded walk to Colby Cunningham to make it 3-1, Wes Gigliotti came through with an RBI single to score Connor Eiler. Hopewell wasn’t done as Davis smacked an RBI single to right field which scored Cecchini.

Next up, Krotec blasted a double to center which brought in Cunningham and Gigliotti. Hopewell now led 7-1. The final run of the inning scored as Davis stole home.

Later in the game, Hopewell extended the lead to 12-1 on RBI groundouts by Cunningham and Eli Seech.

Ambridge did fight back to make it 12-8 but Gigliotti closed things out.

Throughout the night, Krotec, Wade Enders, Henry Davis,  Cecchini, Davis and Gigliotti pitched for Hopewell.

Good luck to this 12-year old team as they will play in the Bauerstown Tournament.

Rilynn Davis Leads Hopewell 6th Grade to Big Win Over Blackhawk

by Mike Vukovcan
written by Mike Vukovcan 2 minutes read

The Hopewell and Blackhawk girls have two of the better 6th grade travel teams in Beaver County.

Blackhawk’s dominance in girls’ basketball over the last couple of decades is well known but Hopewell program is slowly but surely developing a pipeline of players that will make them very competitive in the upcoming years.

The Lady Vikings high school team has plenty of young talent on the roster, while the 7th and 8th grade programs also have a number of players that should make an impact early once they reach high school. The future is bright with players such as Amiyah Shell, Arionna Shell, Ellie McCoy, Lilian Otto, Lily Enders, Dallas Boyd, Ava Ray to name a few.

The Girls junior high program will once again be strong next season as a talented crop of 6th graders will be making their way to the junior high.

Today, the Hopewell 6th Grade Girls Navy travel team took on a talented team from Blackhawk. Not surprisingly, this game was very competitive and came down to the final minutes but in the end, Hopewell came away with a 22-18 victory.

Here’s recap of this afternoon’s action.

Rilynn Davis got Hopewell on the scoreboard first and after Blackhawk scored the next two baskets, Davis scored again to tie the game at 4.

Free throws by Nevaeh Pope and Davis gave Hopewell a 6-4 lead but the Cougars once again scored to tie the game at 6.

Davis scored the next two Hopewell baskets to give the Lady Vikings a 10-6 lead, but Blackhawk responded with two hoops of their own to tie the game back up at 10.

With Blackhawk leading 14-13, Talia Santia made a free throw to tie the score back up at 14.

The next sequence of the game was the turning point as Lydia Jaquay scored to tie the game up at 16. Then Davis scored back-to-back hoops to give Hopewell a four-point lead, 20-16.

Blackhawk didn’t go away as they scored to make it a two-point game (20-18) but as she did all game, Davis came up big with another basket to ice the game.

Davis finished today with 16 points, while Jaquay scored 4 points and Pope and Santia both scored a point.

Winning is Fun!!

This group of girls is back in action on Wednesday as they take on Central Valley.
