HAZELTON, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — It may have only been the semi-finals, but it was a championship atmosphere Thursday night at Valley High School.

The No. 3 Raft River Trojans traveled to take on the No.2 Vikings for the third time this season. They split the regular season at one game apiece.

Valley got off to a hot start from beyond the arc with four three-pointers in the first quarter as the Vikings led 19-0 after one.

Raft River came alive, however, in the second quarter, outscoring Valley 18-9 in the second quarter to give the Trojans a three-point lead into the break.

The momentum wouldn’t last as the Viking came into the third quarter with aggression and would build up an 11-point lead.

Raft River battled back, but it was too little, too late, as the Vikings would win 59-52.

The Vikings had four scorers in double digits as senior Lexi Huettig led the way with 14. Sophomore Hailey Malone scored 13 and had a great game off the bench for the Vikings.

Senior Joanie Lewis scored 12, and sophomore Alora Godfrey had 10.

Ryan Udy led the Trojans with a game-high 19 points. Brooke Bingham added 12 points and nine rebounds.

Valley will meet No. 1 Oakley for the third time this season in the Snake River Championship on Tuesday. Tipoff is set for 7:30 from the College of Southern Idaho.

Raft River will play Glenns Ferry on Friday in a loser-out game at Jerome High School.
