“It was crazy,” said Boling, basketball player on the Varsity Vikings Team. “I got the ball and
had to make some space. I stepped back and hit the three. I was confident that it would go in.”

“It was great,” said Coach Andrew Johnson of the Viking basketball team. “Trace is one of the
hardest-working players on the team who has changed the culture so much. It just shows how
hard work pays off and he fully deserved it.”
