The Hopkins girls’ varsity basketball team has been something of an enigma in the early stages of the 2017-18 season.The Lady Vikings, loaded with returning players and welcoming three Wayland transfer students, lost their first three contests, to West Catholic, Comstock and Comstock Park. But they showed signs of what they can do Friday night in a convincing 60-22 pasting of visiting Allendale.
Hopkins started strong and was relentless in piling up a hefty lead. The Lady Vikings rushed to a 14-3 advantage at the close of the first quarter and were up 32-12 at the half. They entered the fourth period enjoying a 50-16 cushion and cruised to victory.
