NOXON — The Lady Vikings came into their two most recent games looking to generate more offense, and did precisely that by outscoring their conference opponents 123-45.

Charlo (4-1, 2-1) cruised to a 77-27 win over Two Eagle River School last Thursday before pounding Noxon 46-18 on Friday.

Against the Eagles, the Lady Vikings got out to an incredible start, scoring 21 points in the first quarter while allowing just nine to Two Eagle.

They would keep that pace, scoring over 20 points in both of the next two quarters, before finally letting up in the fourth, when they scored 10 points.

Charlo’s impressive offensive outpouring was fed by a trio of big-time individual performances.

The biggest of these performances came from Aspen Runkel, who exploded for 25 points in the game to lead all players on the night.

Haley Berkram, meanwhile, dropped 17 points against the Eagles, including nine off of 3-pointers.

Rachel Hoyt continues to be a top performer for the Lady Vikings, scoring 16 points on this occasion.

Abby knight (seven), McKalistar Rosenbaum (six), Jordan Ludeman (four) and Sienna Brown (two) also chipped in points during Charlo’s big win.

Two Eagle was led by a solid performance from Daryl Conko-Camel, who scored 14 points in the game. Tyra Michel (five), Ashley Lozeau (three), Ida Couture (three) and Ruby Saluskin (two) also scored for the Eagles.

On Friday against Noxon, the Lady Vikings came out of the first quarter with just a 12-9 lead.

However, they would allow the Lady Red Devils to score just nine points over the final three quarters while scoring 34 points themselves.

Leading the way in Charlo’s blowout victory was Hoyt, who again scored in the double-figures with 17 points on the night.

Ludeman and Runkel both scored nine points in the matchup, while Brown and Berkram notched four points apiece. Derika Stipe (two) and Knight (one) both scored as well for the Lady Vikings.

Noxon had just one player score more than four points in the contest, Brooke Smithborne, who tallied 11.

Charlo will take a break for the holidays before picking things back up on Jan. 3 when it hosts Superior.
