The Queens ended their season at 9-14 but will have everyone returning on a team with no seniors. Last night, the River Kings made their way to Decorah to take on the class 3A #2 ranked Vikings of Decorah High School in the first round of the 3A state postseason basketball tournament. The Kings battled hard from the opening tip, staying close into the second quarter. But the Vikings kept increasing their lead starting midway through the second quarter and into the second half. The Kings could not account for all of the weapons the Vikings possessed, and ended up losing the game 52-77.
