The Viking boys' lacrosse team, ranked 11th in the state of Ohio, traveled to Jackson Friday night to battle the team ranked 18th in the state.

The game was delayed a half hour because of lightning, but the weather didn't stop Hoover from striking early as they took the opening faceoff  and scored for the early 1-0 lead.

The Vikings also led briefly 2-1 before the Polar Bears ran off four straight goals.  The game was delayed another 30 minutes because of lightning with 9:39 remaining in the second quarter and the Vikings down 5-2.
