Congratulations to Nick Filchner who broke the Allentown Central Catholic High School basketball record for 3-pointers with a total of 174 (and counting). Nick had tied the record of 169 previously set by Zay Jennings, Class of 2016, when the Vikes defeated Parkland Jan. 24. Nick racked up five more three’s against Quakertown. Currently, Nick is only 39 points away from 1,000. Way to go Nick!

Many thanks to all of our partner school athletes who came out to CYO night Jan. 24.

Class of 2020 Viking wrestlers were recognized at senior night. Congratulations to Rachel Yonak, Atticus Clifford, Christopher Clifford, Kevin Falcon and Mathias Nebiyou.
