Practices are well underway for the Petersburg High School girls basketball team-a team that has seen much change from the one that was knocked out of the regional tournament last season. The team graduated four seniors last year, which put into question the makeup of this year's team, but the Lady Vikings have bounced back with 16 girls now on the roster-enough for a varsity and a junior varsity team.

Though their practice shirts have already arrived, Coach Jaime Cabral said with 36 students on the team, including seven seniors, he now needs to order more, which is a great problem to have. “It’s an energetic group, a tight-knit group too but they work well together,” Cabral said. Currently the students are split up into two groups based on their skill level and knowledge of rotations but students will have the oppor...

Two weeks ago, seconds into what would be her last high school basketball game, Larson went to intercept a pass and stepped on an opposing player's foot, rolling her ankle in the process. She had dealt with ankle injuries... Full story
