The Vikings will play London again tomorrow in their 5:15 p.m. home-opener at Stahl Field. Our lacrosse programs began their seasons with a pair of games in Tennessee last week. The girls beat University School of Nashville 16-10 while the boys lost 11-6, and both squads fell to Ensworth High School. Both are back in action this week along with season-openers for boys tennis and our track and field programs.
