One more play.
One more goal.
In many ways, that was the story of the 2023 season for Mount Horeb’s girls soccer team.
The Vikings fielded a scrappy, competitive side. In the end, though, they often were one play away from greatness.
That was the case once again in Mount Horeb’s 3-2 loss to...

Timing is everything.

Mount Horeb’s baseball team picked the perfect time to heat up.

The Vikings open...
